Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

Battles

Battles

Hi all, does anyone else just feel like life is just one big sh!t show? It's just one thing after another, constant drama, family issues, money struggles, stress, anxiety it's just always something.

When do things get easier, do things ever change?

I've been through more than i care to think about in my life but today has pushed me to breaking point and it's bringing up alot of bad memories of previous suicide attempts.

I just feel like it's not worth it, it's not worth fighting, not worth hanging on anymore.

@MissGremlin @rav3n maybe some grounding? My anxiety hit 1000 and I'm not sure why.

Re: Battles

@NightFury oh I feel you sweet, mine hit out of nowhere. Alright what shall we do? A-Z of something or connecting with our senses or describing things around us that we can see, noticing colours or patterns and textures etc?

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin senses works for me, but if it's hard for you, we can do the describing one.

3. The bright flame of the woodheater

4. My lift up coffee table - I love it for working on, drawing and colouring in on

5. Grey speckled carpet that probably needs a vacuum.

Well done @NightFury. Amazing details too.

Ok what's 4 things you can touch and feel?

@NightFury

For me there's

A warm soft and fluffy oodie.

I have one of my nee doh cubes that's soft and squishy.

My fluffy stitch socks are on my feet and the feel nice and warm.

I have the cross stitch threads that I can run my fingers through.

4 things i can touch and feel:

  • my coffee mug, it's cold now
  • the keyboard on my laptop, it's very satisfying pressing the keys
  • the smoothness of my wooden desk
  • my necklace, it has a constellation pattern on it that i like to play around with, feeling the bumps of gems
