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.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin what are you having?

I'm going to have a coffee...I know it's late afternoon and I probably shouldn't, but I feel like I need it.

Then I need to decide what to do for dinner.

Re: Battles

@NightFury I'm having a French vanilla latte, I've never had them before and I can say it's not too bad.

I'm not hungry for dinner tonight, too stressed to eat now.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin get plenty of rest, drink plenty of fluids and try to get some vitamins and minerals into you. I found hydralyte or something similar was useful when I had COVID. Or even like...a Powerade to get the electrolytes back up.

Re: Battles

@NightFury no such thing as rest when it comes to school holidays. Only vitamins i have is vitamin C. I can't drink hydralyte, and I don't have any powerade. So it's just going to be water, cordial and iced coffees for me and the occasional cup of tea.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin whatever you have will be good enough! Just make sure you're hydrating enough.

Re: Battles

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin I'm with you there. It's easier in Winter to forget to drink enough too.

Re: Battles

@NightFury yeah it definitely is easy to forget. How was your coffee and how are you feeling now?
