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.

@AuntGlow clean sheets are definitely the best 😊.

I had a rough sleep, tossed and turned, woke up many times. But I'll survive, I don't have anything on today so I can get some rest in.

Strangely despite not having anything on today i feel like I've accomplished a few things. I took Casper for his first proper walk, I've done my dishes, cleaned my kitchen bench and put a load of washing in. I'm now sitting down with my iced coffee and my puzzle 😊.

Sitting with some big thoughts and feelings today (I'm safe) so keeping busy and connected here feels like the best thing to be doing.

Awww you're welcome, remember progress is still progress no matter how small it is ❤️.

Gah, I hate those nights. 😫 @MissGremlin

I am glad you can go slow today.

That sounds like such a wholesome start to the day!! It seems like dopamine is dopa-working!

(Please laugh at my lame joke)

You're doing really well. I think acknowledging, feeling, and expressing how you feel is important. Then redirecting to what is within your control is so empowering and helps to rewire some of those more tricky neural pathways. It's something I am working on too.

Because you're right! Progress is progress, no matter how small it is. 💛

@AuntGlow haha hey sometimes those lame jokes are the best and it made me chuckle 😂.

Thankyou ❤️. It's a work in progress, it doesn't always work but i keep trying. Rewiring those neural pathways takes time and practice. The point is that we keep on going even when things feel like they are too hard or aren't working cos eventually things will change and become easier 😊.
