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.

@NightFury oh that's so hard sweet.

It's ok that you still need a light on to sleep so don't be hard on yourself my sweet.

I'm glad that you are tucked up in bed with Luna and I hope you can settle soon.

Sending you hugs beautiful ❤️.

Re: Battles

Morning @Chasingsunsets, sorry that i missed this post. I don't feel so bad now for getting out of bed at 12pm 😂.

Hopefully you are getting lots of sleep now 😊.

The walking was nice but sadly the weather was crazy yesterday with storms so we didn't get to go for a walk and today isn't much better. I hope you and Indi enjoyed the walk? Awwww not a sore eye but glad to hear that it's improving quickly, can understand her not liking the eye medicine, big hugs for Indi ❤️.

Shops were overwhelming, they were very busy and loud. There wasn't anything I was looking forward to getting and I had to leave early cos it was a bit much. I have to go again today being that I didn't get to get everything yesterday. At least today I only need one shop, yesterday I needed many.

Casper hasn't been on an escalator but he's been in the lift many times. The shopping centre near me only has one escalator and I don't go down the end where it's at very often. Well done for getting Indi on there though especially while dealing with anxiety over it yourself. As they say practice makes perfect 😊.

Awwww those cuddles with Indi look like the best ❤️. Casper is always close to me and will sleep either half on top of me or curled up at my head on my pillow. Not sure how he still fits on my pillow given his size but he makes it work 😂. I could never pick a favourite cuddle cos all of them are awesome ❤️.

Hello @NightFury my sweet, how are you doing today?

Re: Battles

Morning @MissGremlin

I'm out and about and anxious about being out and about, but I promised myself I'd celebrate finishing my course today...so I'm holding myself to it.

How are you feeling?

Re: Battles

@NightFury i hear you sweet, you've got this ❤️. Are you doing anything in particular to celebrate?

Things are feeling heavy and thoughts have been strong since last night. I'm safe and I've been having Casper cuddles with my music playing.

Re: Battles

I'm sorry that things are feeling heavy for you. It's perfectly understandable though. You've had a lot to deal with and to process. Sounds like self-care is important for you today.

I'm going to the movies, then out to lunch. @MissGremlin. But the amount of self talk I have to do, to get myself to go out like this is ridiculous.

Like this morning..."I'm going to the movies." And then it becomes, "I have things I have to do at home and it's such a waste of time.." and then, "you don't do things like this very often and it might have an impact on how you feel." And then the reasoning becomes..."but I just want to stay at home..." until I get frustrated and reason with myself and I talk myself into it by going, "well...I'll go early. There won't be as many people around and then I can spend the afternoon at home."

And so...here I am.

Re: Battles

@NightFuryoh I completely understand this all too well. This is me everytime I go out whether it be for fun or needing to get essential items. It's like fighting a battle with yourself and it's exhausting and frustrating.

I'm really glad you pushed through and you've gotten yourself out there. I hope you enjoy watching a movie, you deserve it. Sending you hugs sweet ❤️.
