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.

@MissGremlin my coffee was good and I've ordered a pizza for dinner.

My day was pretty busy. We had asembly, and I chickened out and wouldn't get up to present awards. I had a colleague do it... then we spent most of the day doing a deep clean day of the classroom, then a rewards and free play afternoon.

I have a heavy head setting in, I'm tired and I'm worried and trying to suppress it. Trying not to let it run...

@NightFury oh nice to ordering pizza, hope you enjoy it.

Getting up in front of so many people isn't easy and it's ok that you weren't able to do that. There's absolutely no shame in that at all, in fact I'm glad you recognised that it was a bit much for you and got someone else to do it, that shows that you respected your own boundaries.

Deep breaths my sweet, maybe get comfy on your lounge and snuggle with Luna ❤️

@MissGremlin omg yes!! I do feel a bit like that sometimes ay, but hey... "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!"

aww yay stitch!!

Do you know of the social media site, reddit.com? Subreddits are what they call their communities. So the Perfect Fit subreddit is all just posts around that precise topic. There's millions of subreddits 😅

@NightFury howdy!! Oh it's begun hey? How you feeling? Did you end up making some plans for your weeks?

I'm drinking coffee too! Mmm tasty hot beverage, make brain go FAST 😂

@Jynx haha I'm more like i think, I can i think I can, nope I can't 😂

I've never been on reddit, maybe I'll check it out but that means stepping out of my comfort zone and that's not an option at the moment.

I tested positive to covid so I'm a bit stressed. Trying to keep my humour up though.

Haha coffee make brain go fast, well it doesn't for me 😂

@MissGremlin they didn't tell me I was doing it until I got there this morning and it was an instant "nope." They pushed a little and I had to write the speeches to go with the awards, and someone else gave them. I kept my ground and was stubborn with it. I wasn't getting up there.

@Jynx I've had lots of anxious energy today. I need a break, but at the same time, I'm not looking forward to it. I have made a few small plans to add something to a couple of my days off.

My brain had a bit of a freak out at the announcement too, because it's over the holidays and I reach out sometimes in those hours...I struggle with being alone and waking up not feeling safe some nights. I also feel guilty about my brain having a bit of a freak out, because it's for a good reason and I totally get it.

Re: Battles

Thanks @MissGremlin I felt slight bad for it, but...the kids still got their awards so...no harm was done in me being a chicken.

In response to: Re: Battles

Re: Battles

@NightFury its not you being chicken, it's you respecting your boundaries. Understand you feeling bad for it but the fact that you still wrote them up for them is awesome ❤️

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin I sat there as the other teacher was presenting them and was telling myself..."just be kind to yourself...you've had a week, be kind."
