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 school holidays are hard work. Kids that are normally in school are out and about making things busier, louder and generally more hectic.

Re: Battles

@NightFury yes. It just becomes chaos and it's stressful.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin it adds another layer of stress to going out into the "wilds" of society, yes.

@NightFury yes. I'm quite over them already and it's technically only day 1 😂

Re: Battles

It is only day 1 @MissGremlin

I'm restless and I don't quite know what to do with myself at the moment. I tried reading and got three chapters in before I couldn't sit there any longer. I've just tipped my gels pens on the floor and got my colouring book out.

Re: Battles

@NightFury i hate that restless feeling. Colouring sounds like a good idea. I never did get around to doing the drawing that was put up in the art club thread, did you ever do it?

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin I haven't done it yet, no. I go through phases with drawing. I go from being super motivated to not wanting to touch it....

Re: Battles

@NightFury I'm the same. Like I've saved a bunch of videos lately of things I wanna either draw or make but I just don't have the motivation to actually do them. The fact that I didn't colour for ages and now I've started again but only little bits at a time.
