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.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin I'm glad you made it back and can now work to feel safe in your own space.

I'm feeling heavy. I did some hard things today - the test, taking it into the GP, talking to my counsellor about some things. And I just feel really heavy and really tired. I was going to head out tonight to an in-person support group, but if I'm going, I need to leave in 3 minutes and I haven't really been able to get myself off the couch since about 2 pm. I cooked some dinner, I ate, I tried to do some study but gave up on it and wrapped myself in a blanket on the couch instead. I don't think I'm going anywhere tonight.

Re: Battles

@NightFury I'm sorry you are feeling so heavy. You have done amazing today to do what you have, I'm proud of you ❤️. It's ok if you aren't up to going tonight, there will always be another chance.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin that's what my counsellor said...she told me it doesn't matter if I don't make it. It can be something to work towards...

I just want to feel safe, and warm and held tonight. I don't know if I can do anything else challenging today.

Re: Battles

@NightFury sounds like tonight is more the need for some self-care, which is completely ok. Sending you hugs ♥️

I'm finding it hard to calm myself down, so many big feelings and emotions are just all hitting at once and so are the thoughts and urges. Trying to find something to work on so I can slow things down a bit.
