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.

@NightFury I'm not really holding up, but my sense of humour remains in tact 😂. Honestly I feel like absolute sh!t, my lungs hurt when I breathe.

How are you holding up?

@MissGremlin since we're being honest...

I'm not doing so well. Things are heavy and I feel absolutely wrecked.

I have one day left of work and then school holidays.

Re: Battles

@NightFury i really do understand that feeling well my sweet. Sending you hugs, you are not alone ♥️.

Are you looking forward to the school holidays? I know being a teacher you still have to get things prepared for next term.

@NightFury my day's been nice. i've been doing a lil research into unis (i'm thinking about applying for masters next year), and i was going to clean up... but got to lazy so i'll push it to tomorrow.

sorry to hear how draining its been!! one more day to push through, and then hopefully you get to rest up a bit more, you got this. do you have plans for the school holidays break?

@rav3n my lil freddo was yummy. Oh I remember those twin ones the one I recall was lemonade and raspberry. I've never been a big fan of liquid inside chocolate though. But I do like caramello koalas.

Re: Battles

@rav3n not a lot of plans. I'm catching up with a friend on the first day before she leaves for Scotland, I also have a counselling appointment that day. I have to have a little medical procedure done and I'm getting my dreadlocks tightened.

@MissGremlin I'm kind of anxious about the school holidays. Work keeps me busy - that feeling that people are relying on me and I have to hold it together keeps me getting up and moving and distracted. It kinda keeps me safer too. I um...on public holidays and stuff, things get wobbly. So, I need to figure out how to stop that from happening.

Re: Battles

@NightFury totally understand that. When others depend on us to hold it together we just do what we have to do. Well we will have to take the school holidays gently i think and just take each day as it comes. Know that we will be here for you the whole way. Public holidays throw me out cos routine gets messed up and then my anxiety kicks in and along with it all the thoughts, urges etc.

@MissGremlinslowly and gently and with support sounds good.

Re: Battles

@NightFury then that's exactly what we will do. We've got this and we will get through it together ❤️
