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.

Yuuuum! @MissGremlin

HE IS SO CUTE 😭 He can do whatever he wants. 😂

Okay, I really hope you can get some support... dental stuff can be so painful. Please let me know how you go.

What do you think is making you feel nervous and uneasy?

I am so glad you have someone to confide in. Without disclosing too much, I am so curious to know how you know each other/what you have connected over? 🤩

@AuntGlow haha he's lucky he's cute 😂.

I will let you know how I go, I'm really hoping they can help cos I hate the constant pain and it's getting worse.

I'm not entirely sure, maybe it's cos there's alot to go into and unpack. My thoughts have really intensified lately to a point where I've been thinking I really need to update/change my safety plan (I'm safe at the moment). There's just been moments where I've really come close to acting on those thoughts and the SH has become a coping strategy to try to stop that from happening (again I'm safe). Also have that fear of losing her if I connect with the other counsellor that i have an appointment with coming up. I find it so hard to connect with people and to feel safe enough to open up. It's that worry of what if I have a good first call with the new counsellor so I stop the appointments with the first but then the second doesn't happen or doesn't go well, then I'm left with no support again.

We met when I was very vulnerable and unable to access this space, there's a story behind how we met but thats not something I'm willing to discuss. We've connected over alot of things, things about our families, our past experiences the love we have for animals and nature. She's honestly been a huge support for me and knowing we can confide in each other is something I treasure and I'm so glad to have her in my life.

@Jynx bahaha why can I picture that 😂. Your poor keyboard is going to be all jumbled, the keys won't know what letter they are 😂.

I can imagine... I am keeping all my fingers crossed for you @MissGremlin 💛

I think updating your safety plan is a wonderful idea - reworking it to meet you where you're at is a really great way to keep yourself safe. I know things are feeling more intense and vulnerable right now, but I can also see you have more supports present, which is really reassuring. I understand where your fears are coming from; sitting with uncertainty and the 'what ifs' can sometimes feel scarier than the actual outcome. I wonder if you can slowly ease out of your current support? Is that an option?

That's okay! you never have to share anything you don't want to.

It sounds like you connect not only over your experiences, but the things that help you to feel joy too? Connections like that are so soul-nourishing. I am glad you have her in your life too. 🥰

Re: Battles

Hello @Chasingsunsets, there's always another time for coffee and chats 😊.

I've got a tooth infection so I've been in pain but my day has been okayish otherwise. Yes I did have a French vanilla latte, I can't drink just normal coffee.

How are you going?

Re: Battles

Hey @MissGremlin I could catch ya! Aw I agree always love chats. I find my work just be a massive hurdle!

I miss awesome chats and also can miss out broadly on lots of life events etc. Anyway rant over 😜, sorry about that one 🫶

French vanilla hey! What’s the difference in that one ?

Oh yeah normal coffee I’m the same I like it flavoured normally!

off topic but do you like cookies and cream?

gloria jeans do an awesome Oreo chiller or cookies and cream one I forgot the name of it lol. But it’s so good! I like that if I don’t need the coffee hit 😋

oh that damn tooth still giving you dramas. Did you end up finding your clove oil or nah?


I'm ok a bit exhausted tonight! Indi still wants to play and I’m getting balls stacked up on me 😂

Re: Battles

@Chasingsunsets lucky I'm a night owl 😂. Ahhh yes, one of those massive hurdles that's hard to get over.

Always welcome to rant, missing out on things can suck. But I'm glad to have the chance to catch up with you for a chat now 😊.

I have nothing to compare it to really 😂. I used to have a different flavoured coffee sachet but they stopped making it so i stopped having hot drinks, then earlier this year I found the French vanilla latte ones and well I enjoy them.

There's actually a cookie flavoured iced coffee one that they just brought out and it's not too bad. Considering they have just discontinued my other iced coffee flavours that I drink, so I'm going to be without my iced coffees.

Hmmmm why do companies always take away the good things and always the things i like. I don't cope with change, surely they should be understanding of that 😂. There you go that's my rant 😂.

I actually brought some clove oil today, took 3 different places to find some though. It helped to take the edge off but still it's painful.

Haha if you go back a bit in this thread you'll see Casper with his ball. It's one of the noisiest toys, it squeaks but really loudly and he loves it 😂. It was 10pm last night that he decided it was playtime with said ball 😂.

Glad you are ok, hope you can get some rest soon. Awww sweet Indi, you could say that's unbearaball 😂.
