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.

@MissGremlin umm...the sour lollies are getting a work out tonight. I'm wrapped in my weighted blanket and trying to decide what my next move is.

Re: Battles

@NightFury I'm glad you have them and at least they taste yummy 😋.

My heart is getting a workout 😂. Nothing like giving oneself a panic attack. I've put my TV show on now while I'm doing my colouring. Deep breaths while I try to bring everything back under control.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin thank you. I might go to bed soon...I hope sleep will help too.

I bet it is. I brought some more gel pens from Kmart today and a container for my gel pen collection. I just need to start using them.

Re: Battles

@NightFury going to bed sounds like a good idea and I hope you have a restful night.

Oohh yay for more gel pens, the ones from kmart were actually pretty good i found. I'm sure when you feel ready you will do some colouring 😊
