Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

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.

Re: Battles

I remember Cliff Young and his shuffle @REDLINEZ750

He was a sheep farmer who became notable for his unexpected win of the inaugural Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon in 1983 at 61 years of age. While the other competitors stopped to sleep, he mistakenly woke up at 2 am, several hours earlier than intended, and began running, taking the lead while the other runners slept. Young then decided to avoid sleep as a strategy and finished the rest of the race without sleeping at all, eventually finishing in 1st place 10 hours faster than the runner who came in second. He became very popular after this "tortoise and hare" feat. I didn't know he was a vegetarian. How did you find out about him?

Re: Battles

@Jynx is there an option to have an easier question?

I'm struggling, I'm scared and overwhelmed. Life keeps throwing things my way. I'm in pain and I'm emotional. I feel like I'm losing myself and it's scary as hell.

I'm safe and I'm reaching out to crisis services, well the only one that will actually talk to me. I have an appointment with a therapeutic counsellor coming up aswell and I'm really hoping that we click so i can get the right support.
