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.

I'm not sure @REDLINEZ750 I'm up to episode 5.

Liam Hemsworth does not a Witcher make. He's okay, but he's not as intense.

Oh goodness, that must have been so, so overwhelming... @MissGremlin. I am really glad to hear you were able to talk to your friend though. What did you notice happen for you physically/mentally as you connected with them?

Little Casper, forever an angel.

Gosh, I am so sorry. Did she share what kinds of supports may be more suitable? I am glad she is willing to help you transition somewhere else and not cut your support entirely, that's really good to hear.

I understand why the theme of rejection would come up, but I can already see you reframing!! Dreamy, that's huge! 🥹

It is hard to talk about... how did it feel to share those thoughts with her?

Ow...that sounds so painful for you. Is there a dental hospital you can visit at all?

The rain is really lovely, I will give you that. 🙊

Re: Battles

It sounds like you and @MissGremlin were in the same boat last night @NightFury. 😔

How was it to spend time with a friend and show her the ropes? Did it inspire you to gym again? 🤩

Of course, it makes sense that work would feel vulnerable right now...

I am proud of you for reaching out to someone. Was it helpful to be held in that moment?

Ah, is it a good show? I haven't seen it!

Also, how are things feeling now? 💛

It really was so overwhelming @AuntGlow, I was so tired but everytime I closed my eyes i could see the things from the nightmare happening again. It just helped to have someone to talk to, I briefly said what the nightmare was about but then it was just a matter of not being alone in that moment. Physically it took a bit over an hour for my body to calm down enough that i could try to go back to sleep. Mentally it's still affecting me as this isn't the first time I've had this sort of nightmare so I'm worried of it happening again. I've had this same type of nightmare since I was a child and I don't know why.

She's not sure what services are available, knowing that I can't afford to pay anything it's a matter of finding something that's either free or covered by Medicare which really limits the options. But she's going to keep supporting me until I have something else in place. It's nice but feels strange to have someone actually really, genuinely care about trying to help me get the right support.

Thankyou, I do try to challenge those negative thoughts, it's still very much a work in progress though.

It was scary cos I get worried about them calling emergency services on me. But I also wanted to be honest with her so that she has an understanding of where I'm at. So as I said to her whilst I have a plan I don't have a time frame cos that's not how I work. And then went into saying how I avoid things getting to that point and what safety measures are in place. (Please know that I'm safe).

Unfortunately the public system still costs and I don't have any way of covering a $70 emergency appointment.

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow I go through stages with the gym. I start off well and then it becomes a donation. I ran my own personal training business for a time, until life and major changes happened in my life and I injured myself. I used to enjoy going to the gym, and I enjoyed it this morning, especially because I went with a friend. My body is very sore as a result.

It was helpful to reach out and be held. The person I spoke to was very good and it helped to break the spiral and the wall my tears were hiding behind.

I feel headachey now, kind of foggy and tired in my brain. I feel pretty raw and vulnerable, but it's better than feeling scared.

The Witcher is a good show, if you're into magic and monsters and fantasy and complex characters.

Hello @NightFury my sweet, how are you feeling?

In response to: Re: Battles

Re: Battles

Hi @MissGremlin

I'm struggling this morning.

I'm trying to get the house ready for an inspection today, but I'm still feeling very emotionally fragile.

How are you, my friend?

In response to: Re: Battles

Re: Battles

@NightFury sorry to hear you are struggling this morning sweet.

Oh that sucks having to get the house ready for an inspection when you are feeling emotionally fragile. Sending you gentle hugs sweet ❤️.

I'm feeling anxious, vulnerable and fragile. I'm not looking forward to today. I have an electrician coming first thing and he's probably going to be here for most of the day. I don't like having people in my house and it means I'm not going to get to rest.
