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

If you don't mind me sharing, I can see how much you have changed just by your posts on the forums over the years @Appleblossom . It's truly amazing to witness.

In a way, I feel it sort of reflects the changes going on for people in their lives.

I feel so privileged to know you.

Re: Battles

My first five years on the forums were very difficult. @tyme The only support or sense of community was here. I eventually got the feeling of being social beyond bare survival. Then I got NDIS and that was rocky for a few years. I really really did not want to be here, but had to stay.

Hello @rav3n, no I didn't find any. I'm going to go to target shortly to see if they have any. Just really trying to shake these thoughts and urges at the moment.

Re: Battles

I'm around around for a bit if you want a cuppa.

Do you want to create a new thread, add an image, and I'll spotlight it on the main page for others to join @MissGremlin ?

Re: Battles

Thanks @tyme but I'm kind of just laying low today on the forums.
