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

Things are really tough right now @MissGremlin and I'm struggling with depression-like symptoms. I'm so exhausted. So, I agree. I think I need to listen to what I need right now and that's an early night and some rest.

Thank you for continuing to check in on me, I appreciate it...a great deal.

I might not have a lot of words at the moment, but I'm here for you.

Re: Battles

@NightFury i hear you. I've been very much the same lately and I've been doing my best to listen to my body and what it needs at the time. I know it's hard especially when there's work or other commitments but it's important that when you do have that time to yourself that you do what you can to take care of yourself. I really hope you can get a good sleep and wake up feeling refreshed tomorrow, know that we are always here for you ❤️.

I struggle to find words at time, but even just a few simple words can mean so much. Knowing that you are here for me means alot too, so thankyou sweet ❤️

Stuck with intrusive thoughts so this is my way of getting them out (Don't worry I'm safe).

Content/trigger warning

As I lay here trying to sleep, I think of all the things I've done. The thoughts they then start to creep, things start to come undone.

If you could see me now and see the tears, you'd know that I've fought so hard. But this is where I meet my fears and so now i let down my guard.

Please don't feel bad for me, for I was not worth being saved. The world just could not see, that it was just connection that I craved.

The thoughts are taking over again, I can't fight this feeling no more. I'm ready to end the pain, from now on I won't hurt anymore.

Here right now I say to thee, it's time to let me go. Could I have ever been free, I guess now we'll never know!
