Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

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

@NightFury today has been tough. I had a rough night and woke up to a nightmare in a state of panic. So today I've been emotional and feeling very fragile but I'm safe for the moment.

Re: Battles

I hear ya. @MissGremlin

I woke up from a really unsettling nightmare this morning too and it's been a tough day for me today, having to go back to work knowing that I won't be working tjere next year, having to go back to work knowing I'm not wanted there.

Re: Battles

@NightFury oh sweetheart, I can hear those feelings are so tough to sit with. I know it might feel like you aren't wanted there but I also know our brains can be our own worst enemy at times.

Have you got Luna with you sweet?

Re: Battles

I do. She's laying on the floor at my feet. @MissGremlin

I've kept it in all day and started to spiral on the drive home, so I reached out to a helpline.

Re: Battles

@NightFuryso glad she is with you. Casper is laying at my feet too, I can't sit at the moment so I'm standing at my kitchen bench leaning over it.

I'm so proud of you for reaching out to a helpline sweet. I'm sorry that things are feeling so tough at the moment.

I'm glad you have Casper there with you too @MissGremlin

I'm sorry that things are tough for you as well, my friend.

I went to the gym this morning before work for the first time in 6 months. A friend wanted to go and needed someone who knew how to ise the machines, so I decided that it would be good for me too.
