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.

Hi @Ru-bee, it really has been so hard today. The fact i can't pinpoint even why, well not fully is so frustrating.

It hasn't lifted, it hasn't even eased. I'd really hoped it had even just a little.

I feel this sooo much @MissGremlin

What are your thoughts on keeping a little logbook and noting down when you notice you've made a different choice? It could be really helpful to have written evidence of all your hard work. 🥰

How did it feel to explore some colouring last night? 👩‍🎨

Hi @AuntGlow, i do note down things on my phone but when I reflect back on them my brain finds any way to somehow turn it against me.

It was nice to do a little bit, i only did a couple of tiny parts but it's better than nothing.

I want to be able to shake this feeling today but I just can't seem to. Even my face is just constantly frowning, when I realise I try to relax my face muscles but it doesn't last long. I feel like my whole body is just exhausted from being so tense.

I just made myself a cold Milo.

How are you going today?

Maybe next time you can share one with me and we can challenge those thoughts together? @MissGremlin ☺️

Absolutely it is!

I get that... what are your feelings around progressive muscle relaxation?

oooh yum! Do you ever just eat it straight out of the tin? hehe

Today has been busy! But I am looking forward to a slower start tomorrow and chatting more then. I hope you sleep well. 💛

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow yeah maybe.

I've tried it but it only lasts for a couple of minutes before things are right back to before I started.

I do occasionally.

Ok. Hope you have a good night. Might chat to you tomorrow.
