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

Thank you for sharing this with us @MissGremlin. It was definitely a recovery-focused share, because you have expressed how you're feeling and let us know what you've been doing to support yourself. 🥰

Things must feel really big in your body and busy in your mind right now, I can't even imagine how overwhelmed you are, especially with flashbacks present. Even so, I can see you are making great efforts to not only ask for support and connect with others, but to really show up for yourself when things are hard. That takes so much courage.

We are endlessly proud of you.

I hope your medication helps and you are able to get some rest tonight. Know that support services are always there for you too, okay? 💛

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow that's relieving to hear, thankyou ❤️.

Things are definitely big in my body especially the anxiety and fear of the medication affecting me and also of sleeping cos of the nightmares and panic attacks. I have Casper close by and I'm snuggled up in my bed listening to my music.

Unfortunately the support services really aren't there for me at all, not given recent experiences. I'm just extremely thankful that outside of here I have my friend to talk to.

I can relate to feeling afraid to sleep @MissGremlin It's a feeling I'm all too familiar with. When I was going through insomnia, I was afraid to sleep, but also terrified of another night without sleep. So, I can relate to the anxiety.

I'm proud of you for taking steps to support yourself and seeking external support.

Morning @NightFury my sweet, how are you feeling today?

It's such a horrible feeling, it's not new for me either but this is a bit more intense than it has been previously.

Thankyou, it took alot to seek support but I can't keep going the way things have been so I knew I needed to get help.

Re: Battles

I had a rough night @MissGremlin so I'm feeling a little fragile. I'll be okay though, don't worry about me...you need to take care of you.
