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 glad its slowing down.

My heart rate is currently 136bpm and I haven't moved for the last couple of hours. The joys of sinus tachycardia.

Happy to sit and chat. I've almost finished colouring my picture 😊

@NightFury the same picture I've been working on for about 3 weeks now. I should be able to post it tomorrow. It's got different animals on it.

I know I asked you to sit and chat with me, but I'm actually going to tap out. I'm sorry to change my mind, but I'm not sitting so well and need to step away.

I hope you can get some sleep or at least some rest. You need it and deserve it.

Ok so I couldn't sleep and words were racing through my head, so here's what my crazy brain came up with. I actually think I'm finding joy in writing poetry again.

Forgotten

In a world that's full of chaos and everything moves so fast, we are the ones that are forgotten.

We've told our stories, we've shared our pain but we've been dismissed and showed no care.

We reach our limits, it's all too much, we scream out for help but still we are ignored.

How do you survive in a world where you don't belong, a world where you don't exist.

We are left behind, pushed aside, tossed away like trash.

Insignificant, unimportant, not welcome anywhere. Shamed and blamed, bruised and battered, broken beyond repair.

We are forgotten.

But here we stand with one another determined to make a change.

To show the world we are more than the trauma we've endured.

Never forget the pain that others made you feel, but don't let it define you, let it empower you.

Stand tall and proud, hold your head high, you are a warrior, you've fought throughout your life.

We fight to be seen, to be heard, to survive with each and every breath we take.

We will never be forgotten for we make our voices heard, we will scream and shout and tell the world that we are here.
