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.

@AuntGlow i feel so stuck right now. I've done as much as I can to keep myself distracted, I've followed the safety plan but I'm still struggling. I don't know what I'm supposed to do now, any ideas?.

Re: Battles

That's a great question! Good on you for doing all that you can, you're doing an amazing job of following your safety plan. 💛

Hmm, I am curious, what do you have to do today? ☺️ @MissGremlin

I know, I am sure it feels very intense right now. We are here though, okay? You're not alone (even if it feels like it). @MissGremlin

What can you do for the next hour? Can we start there? ☺️

Okay, it can be hard to move out of freeze response, so let's go gently. What do you think you are most capable of doing in this moment? It could be something really small, like drinking some water or taking a few deep breaths. @MissGremlin

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow i need to get up but literally every movement feels like so much effort. I'm going to try to sit up and take some deep breaths.
