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.

Hehe gladness @MissGremlin

I have had candles lit all arvo, so my room is indeed toasty and warm!! It's my fav type of lighting!! Only issue is... it's a LOT more expensive than light bulbs!

The big light is not allowed on in my house. It is a crime 🤣

Re: Battles

@Jynx haha yes candles can get expensive, they just don't last long enough. I love candlelight but have to be careful of the flickering cos of epilepsy.

I hate big bright lights, I'd sit in darkness all day every day if I could. But pretty coloured party lights well that's another thing 😂

Re: Battles

I was LITERALLY contemplating last night @MissGremlin - why do some candles flicker and others don't? Gotta find you some flickless ones ahaha

Hehehe yep and fairy lights!! Always a winner 😋

Re: Battles

@Jynx some candles just like to be annoying 😂. Definitely need to find flickerless candles though, then I can enjoy candlelight more.

Yes fairy lights are good, anything with pretty colours 😊.

I've completely lost interest in doing my colouring which makes me both worried and sad.

@MissGremlin I literally had to wake myself up a few times in order for those symptoms to completely go away afterwards. True, I guess now I should just take showers either in the morning or afternoon especially because in this new accomodation, I can't use the heater cause it'll increase the costs to my bill and I don't wanna pay any additional bills other than just my rent.

The new apartment is going okay, I'm starting to kind of getting used to living here now, even though my room is kind of messy right now and kind of cramped because the room itself is smaller and don't have much space compared to the room in my previous accomodation.

Re: Battles

@Blackcloud sorry I missed this sweet. It's so tough when we have nights like that, sending you hugs sweet ♥️. Oh I feel you, using heating just costs way too much at the moment, it's ridiculous. Blankets and oodies to the rescue 😂.

Hopefully once you've settled in a bit and got used to it fully you can find a set up that works for you and makes it feel a little more spacious.

Hi @Cuddlebear, sorry I haven't been on. Things are really hard right now and I'm just taking things minute by minute. I hope you are doing ok ♥️.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin wonder if those special birthday candles would work? The ones resistant to being blown out? IDK what they're called lol

I wanna get one of those space/galaxy/nebula projectors!! However, I don't like the cheap ones and the good ones are disgustingly expensive. I think some of them actually project like, The Milky Way...😍

Aww hun, it'll come back, it always does 💜

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin Yeah, I think I might start to clean it up a bit hopefully next week but who really knows when I’m actually gonna do it.. 😅 I’m too tired to do all of that at the moment lol

i really wish these IBS symptoms can go away…oh if I never have had to experience suffering from all of the issues related to my mental health and past experiences related to all of that in the first place then this wouldn’t have happened…🥲 I also feel that life really has no purpose for me right now. I doubt that things will ever get better.🥲😔

In response to: Re: Battles

Re: Battles

@Blackcloud maybe life doesn't need to have purpose right now? Maybe you are allowed to just focus on the moment, on the little things, the small joys and glimmers, and let life take you to where you need to be?

The only constant in life is change. Things will shift, they have to 😊💜
