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.

That sounds nice and cozy. I am doing the same! But from my friend's place, where I am cat-sitting. @NightFury

Has anything made you both smile today? Or is there something you are grateful for? Would love to hear. 💕 @NightFury @MissGremlin

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow I've enjoyed having a chat to someone on the forums and we have shared alot of laughs today, that's made me smile. Also playing with Casper earlier and him doing zoomies on my bed was funny. Also chatting to @MJG017 today made me smile, he knows how to make me laugh even when I'm feeling down. I also smile cos I feel like I'm really wanted here in this space by quite a few people, something I've never felt before. Being able to be here to support others makes me happy and gives me purpose.

Actually didn't realise there had been so many moments that made me smile today.

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow @MissGremlin today's been hard, and I've had moments where I have felt really heavy and anxious.

But...there have been moments when I've smiled at something my students have said or done. Kids are hillarious at times and they come out with the best sayings.

Re: Battles

@NightFury those moments are so tough, that was me for most of the day. But things picked up a bit this evening.

Kids really do come out with the best sayings and they can be so random 😂.

@MissGremlin @AuntGlow I'm going to head off...things are feeling extra challenging at the moment and I'm exhausted. I'm going to go to bed. Thank you for sitting with me, I appreciate it.
