Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

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.

Hi @rav3n. Thankyou ♥️.

I'm not even able to do anything. I'm laying down and Casper is lying over my legs. Kind of keeping me grounded i guess cos I'm too scared to move.

Re: Battles

i'm glad you've got Casper keeping you company @MissGremlin feeling too scared to move it definitely a heavy feeling to have.
do you want to work on a grounding exercise to help relax your body a bit, or do you feel safer laying down and being still at the moment?
