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.

Hi @MissGremlin I got a little bit of sleep. It was a tough night and I'm feeling extra breakable today. I was just in Big W and almost jumped out of my skin when a worker made a noise with some shelves behind me.

Re: Battles

Hello @Jynx, it took so much courage to share it in this space but I'll see if I can share it in the poetry thread at some stage maybe.

I'm really struggling today, mental health +sickness isn't a good combination. Everything just feels super heavy today. Trying to rest and be gentle with myself but the simplest of tasks takes so much effort.

How are you going today?

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin totally up to you darlin, I know how fragile one can feel when being vulnerable in a public space, so do what feels right for you 💜

Ach, being sick is just no fun! Glad to hear you're resting up good 😊

I'm aiight, got a bit of a sleep in and been soaking up some sun. Gotta get my vitamin D!! Caught any rays today?

Re: Battles

@Jynx it's just been such a long time since I've written poetry so not really sure how i feel about it, its very much mixed emotions. It's sort of weird to have words/lines coming to me at random times when it hasn't happened for so long.

It really isn't any fun. But yes I'm trying to rest as much as I can. Kind of feel like a hot drink but tummy is also feeling funny so just waiting a bit and maybe I'll have one later.

Glad you got a bit of a sleep in and yay for getting some vitamin D. There's not really any sunshine here today and it's a bit chilly outside so other than taking Casper out to the toilet when he needs to go I'm staying rugged up inside.
