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.

Helloooo @MissGremlin!

I am rather sleepy, as it's that time of the month and I am doing a lot at the moment, but overall doing well. I have had a relatively regulated day, which is always welcome. What about you? ☺️💛

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow I'm feeling sleepy but I've been awake since 4.47am so that might explain it. Ahhh that time of month is horrible, very thankful I don't have to worry about that anymore. Glad you have had a relatively regulated day, that's a bonus. I'm sort of ok i guess, I was nice and made cabonara so that my neighbour could have dinner for herself, hubby and kid as her and the little one have covid aswell. I like being able to help others. I'm feeling a bit frustrated at myself at the moment for some reasons.

Re: Battles

Goodness, I would be exhausted!! @MissGremlin

That was really kind of you, I can see you get great joy out of being there for others, it's lovely to witness.

Hmm, what is the frustration trying to tell you, do you think? 🤔

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow oddly enough now that I'm sitting on my bed I'm wide awake.

It's nice to be able to help others when I can.

Good question and the answer i feel isn't straight forward. Past 6 days have been scary in a way which i can't explain on here. But it started off as accidental and now has become a habit which i can't seem to break. I know i need to but it needs a tremendous amount of willpower which I just don't have right now.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin Thank you for sharing this with me... the answers around our emotions are never straightforward, are they?

I really hope you are able to call places like Lifeline when you feel this way. We are always here, and you're allowed to share what is coming up for you.

I will check in again tomorrow, but in the meantime, I'd like you to consider what would feel regulating for you right now. 💛

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow they really aren't. Feeling a bit hurt at the moment after hearing 'I want to help you but I don't know what to do, I'm sorry'. Not something one really ever wants to hear as it just feels like maybe I can't be fixed, that I'm too broken.

Yes I do talk to lifeline but often I'm finding that I'm better off just sitting with things and keeping connected here and trying to ride things through.

But anyway that's the dark and heavy over with. Right now I'm listening to music and doing my colouring while listening to Casper snore away.

Chat to you next time, hope you have a good night ❤️
