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 the battle for who gets through first 😂. It can be a long wait sometimes.

@MissGremlin I don't know if I'll wait it out if it's a long wait.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin such an incredible quote, so on point 💜

Sorry to hear you're in the throes of panic hun - bring it back to your breath if you can.

Maybe you can try LL again in like 30 or something.

Hugs!

Re: Battles

@Jynx gah i tried to bring it back to breath but I didn't catch it in time.

I got through to my regular service but I've just been given the 3rd degree over last night's incident so now I'm feeling incredibly hurt and angry at myself.

I have a million thoughts, images feelings and emotions racing through my head and body, I'm trying hard to focus on my music and my colouring at the moment.

Thanks for those hugs ♥️

Thank you for the smile. I really do appreciate the thought, especially right now... and the much needed smile it brought to my face.

I'm not getting any emails about notifications, so I just log in every now and then to check.

Things are just feeling really heavy at the moment and I guess I've just been 'turtling' away... hiding in my shell. Just finding it hard to be around other people I suppose. Apart from appointments and quick shopping expeditions, I really haven't left the house... or the couch for that matter. I do have the assessment days for my course this week, so 2 or 3 full days with the rest of the class, so i'm hoping that helps lift my spirits a bit. Although I think it's really just hope i'm looking for, and that seems like an impossible task right now.

How is Casper? Getting plenty of snuggles I hope.

Re: Battles

@MJG017 glad I could bring a smile to your face ☺️.

There's been issues with the notification side of things which IT are looking into.

I'm sorry things are so heavy at the moment and you're allowed to be a turtle and hide in your own shell. It hasn't exactly been the nicest weather to leave the house anyway, so I see nothing wrong with enjoying the comfort of home and the couch. I hope the assessment days go well and that it does help to lift your spirits a bit. I know how hard it is to see that hope so if you can't see that right now then I'll hold that hope for you just like you've done for me before ♥️.

Casper is doing well, currently snoring away next to me and yes he always gets lots of snuggles. How is Luna going and the other kitties of course?

I could do without this silly covid, not even sure where the heck i got it from. But anyway that's been my time since basically Wednesday/Thursday. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow which i really needed to go in to talk to him but no now I have to do it via phone, really friggen annoying.

@MissGremlin

Touch wood, I haven't had covid yet. One of the many benefits or being a hermit I guess. Still, my partner goes to work and brings home all sorts of nasty diseases! She had the past 3 days of work last week because of it. So I was worried that I may not be attend the assessment days this week. Which would make things difficult since they are mostly role plays with another student. So it's a bit hard to make up for if you can't make it. So far so good though. Sorry to hear you have been unwell though. I guess you could have gotten it from a visit to the shop... who knows. I hope you're feeling over the worst of it now.

Thanks for holding onto that hope for a while. Just a warning though, find somewhere safe to put it because you may need to hold on to it for a while for me. In late 2022, the specialist told me 2023 was going to be a hard year. I believed him, but as it turned out, they've just gotten harder each year since then. Hope has felt almost impossible to find this year. Everything else seems to fall away as well after that happens. I'm sure you understand how that feels.

Luna is still Luna. I've discovered if you turn the tap on in the bathroom basin, she comes running! She loves to get in there and play with the stream of water. It's right next to the shower, so she loves to sit there and watch me in the shower through the glass. It's not weird at all. 😀 She's also decided that she doesn't like Ryker, the big cat. She hisses at him whenever he comes close to her. Then he chases her and she hides under the cabinet. Yet she will still chase Roughy, our other cat, and try to smack him around.
