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.

Re: Battles

Sometimes I get a super narrow focus @NightFury where I will make commitments and then it's like.... I forget that I can in fact change my mind about things. It helps for me to stop for a moment and really reflect on what is most important, and what can perhaps be put off for another day. Also reminding myself that even if I am 'letting someone down' by cancelling plans or whatever, that if they're good people they will understand and even prefer me to look after myself. And if they're not good people... well then I don't care about their opinion anyway! Hehe

I hope you can carve out some time for yourself real soon 🤞

@MissGremlin aww bless, lucky pup indeed!

@Chasingsunsets life seems to be throwing me quite a few curve balls at the moment.

Hope you've had a good day.

Re: Battles

I agree my friend 💛, I’m just waiting on a few good balls for a home run haha.

what are you up to this evening?

It’s been a so so day. I have 48hours for this eye to get better or they said hospital for drip antibiotics. No thanks so here’s hoping 🤞

got to look at the funny side Indi injured the same eye, cost me millions excluding the eye medication as I already had some for her but least she didn’t need antis aswell. So I made her come to the doctors too since she paw slapped me 😂

good excuse though wait with her outside until they are ready to see me 😀

Re: Battles

@Chasingsunsets wait there's good balls? Haven't had any of those yet 😂.

I'm just laying in bed with Casper fighting strong thoughts and urges (I'm safe). Exhausted is an understatement but do you think my brain will switch off to actually sleep, my brain is like the energizer bunny it just keeps going and going 😂.

Oh no, Indi really did a good job with that paw slap. Fingers crossed it starts getting better so you don't have to go to hospital. Sending healing vibes your way ❤️.

Haha taking Indi with you, you know she would have loved that 😂.

Re: Battles

😂😂 yes!! There are good balls! Look for those don’t miss em hehe!!

I’m also wondering if the moon has set us all off. I have been similar thoughts and don’t know why (safe), my cycle can play a big part also so got to look out for when that’s coming and can explain mood if timing aligns.

im curious to know what things you like to do on your low key/ rest days? Only if you are comfortable in answering,

I think I ask as I don’t do a whole lot just end up sleeping and non functional but I know some do some cool stuff, movies, music, art etc

Hope you can stay distracted here and let us know if there is anything you’d like to chat about in particular 😊

hows mr Casper doing?

Yeah lucky no concussion with it from Indi hahah, yeah I was going to edit last msg and say let’s be honest she wants to come everywhere 😆, she come a lot of places she’s my bestie 😀- even with a paw slap 😅

Re: Battles

@Chasingsunsets hmmm i shall have to wait to see if I get any thrown my way.

It's possible that the moon has something to do with it. I can't even blame my cycle since I've not had a period for over 8 years now so I got no excuse 😂. I'm just a grumpy sod 😂.

My rest days are usually working on my puzzle and used to be my colouring. But now it's just laying on the lounge with a movie on dozing off if I'm lucky. At the moment I've kind of lost motivation to do anything even though there's things I want to do i just can't bring myself to do them.

Random chats usually act as a good distraction for me. I try to keep my sense of humour in check even when I've got those thoughts swirling around. I know when that sense of humour doesn't come in to play that I'm in trouble and it's time to reach out for support.

You mean the Mr Casper that's currently using my chest as a headrest, yep he's good and snoring away 😂.

Haha concussion is a real risk with how hard and fast those paws can hit you 😂. Awww she's the bestest best friend ❤️.

Re: Battles

There coming and soon I hope!

I guess the interesting thing I have learnt along the way hormones play a massive part in MH and our moods even with no cycles 😀, what do you think?

You have some good things, I wish I could do a puzzle or watch a movie but those don’t interest me on good days either. It’s awesome that those can help you when you are feeeling in the mood to do either 😊

it’s awesome you know your warning sings too 🙏

The old chest rest hey, best pillow in the house he reckons haha. Indi is also snoring she’s got her own peice of bed atm spread out tonight haha

Re: Battles

Sorry @MissGremlin didn’t see this pop up until now, I’m also not long behind you.

I hope you can get some rest and hope to talk tomorrow whenever. Not sure when I’ll be on, at some stage though 😊

Take care my friend 💜
