Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

Battles

Battles

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.

I'm out at a shopping centre, so I'm not at home without Luna @MissGremlin I'll pick her back up on the way home. The building inspector is at home now, I can see him on the cameras. It's too peopley and too noisey out here. All the back ground noise just blends into one really uncomfortable drone.

Hugs @MissGremlin

It's my Mum's birthday today and I forgot. I feel like such a bad daughter.

@NightFury it sounds very overwhelming at the moment, remember to take some deep breaths sweet ❤️. I'm glad that you got some cameras and that you can see them, hoping they are helping to ease a bit of the anxiety also.

Thankyou for those hugs ❤️.

It's ok that you forgot your mums birthday, it doesn't make you a bad daughter, you have had so much going on and your body and mind has been in survival mode. Be gentle with yourself sweet ❤️

Re: Battles

The cameras are helping to ease the anxiety a little @MissGremlin I've had two nights now where I've been able to sleep without the TV on. So things have settled a little. The rest will just take time, I think.

I've been into Telstra and have decided to reward myself with a cup of coffee and piece of cake at a Cafe.

What have you been up to today?

Re: Battles

@NightFury glad to hear they are helping and well done for sleeping without the TV on. It will take time for things to settle but you are doing so well already sweet.

A cup of coffee and a piece of cake sounds like a perfect way to reward yourself and you definitely deserve it ❤️.

I had a big sleep in this morning after a rough night, i woke up at 6.30 but went back to sleep after giving Casper breakfast and then didn't wake up until 10am. I've done a load of washing and hung that up, had some lunch and now I'm working on my puzzle.

Re: Battles

I'm glad you had a chance to catch up on some sleep @MissGremlin. It sounds like you needed it.

When I get home, I think I might work on my puzzle too. I have to look for a small gift for my Mum and then I'm heading back to pick Luna up, I need to call into the chemist to fill some scripts and then home.

It's my last day of the school holidays, back to work on Monday.

@NightFury i definitely needed it.

Working on your puzzle sounds like a good idea. Good luck finding a little gift for your mum, I'm sure Luna is going to be very excited to see you when you pick her up 😊.

The school holidays feel like they have gone fast, i hope you've enjoyed some of it even though it hasn't been smooth sailing the whole time. Almost time to get back into the school routine.

She will. She doesn't like being left @MissGremlin it's like she believes I'm not coming back for her. Dear heart.

Yeah, almost time. I think I'm going to try and make the most out of the next couple of days though. Get some quality rest and relaxation before heading back into it. This term is going to be busy for me. It's going to be a lot.

Re: Battles

@NightFury they develop such a strong bond with us ❤️.

Making the most of the next couple of days sounds good, get some quality rest and relaxation in before the chaos starts again. The last term is always the busiest, so much happening and preparing kids for the transition to the next year level. I know it's going to be alot but I hope you can take some time for self care when you do have a little bit of time for yourself ❤️

Re: Battles

On top of busy end of school year stuff, I may have to pack up and move, find a new place to live and find a new job for next year @MissGremlin the pressure's on.
