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 @Shaz51 @Jynx I didn't handle it very well.

I kind of have days like that at work or out in public and start going through the whole..."what's wrong with me?" thought circle.

Re: Battles

@NightFury but you got through it! It was hard, you had moments where the panic set in, but you pushed through despite it all.

I get that thought pattern, I go through that every day of my life. It's a matter of rewiring our brains to see things differently which is no quick and easy process but we can do it, time and patience is key ❤️

@MissGremlin I think it's always better the thoughts come out in that creative way than spilling out into like, my social world for instance. Glad your muse is around hehe. I see you did end up posting it in the thread too!! Love it, good on ya!

@NightFury aye that's a familiar spiral. Like Dreamy said, it's a matter of time and patience to rewire. Sometimes, I also remind myself,

@Shaz51 awww headaches!! You poor deary, I hope seeing fuzzy friends on tv is helping 💜

That quote @Jynx...I think I like it. Thank you for sharing.

@Jynx i don't have a social world for them to spill out into so I'm safe 😂. I was surprised that just when I thought i was finished with the poem that second positive spin kicked in, so it wasn't just a negative write. That feels like a small breakthrough for me in those thought patterns being challenged, it may not always happen but it was there last night so i embraced it.

i have a dilemma, I need to pick a new picture and brain is fried 😂.
