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 being unwell makes everything harder so it's completely understandable sweet. I hope you can hop into bed and snuggle up with Luna soon ❤️.

Re: Battles

No, no one said it to me @tyme I said it to myself.

They announced to the staff that I'm leaving today via the work email chain, thanked me for my efforts this year. Made it sound like it was my choice. And it just made me angry, started the "I'm out of work in five weeks" spiral, then I got angry again and now I'm crying.

Re: Battles

@NightFury oh sweet, i can understand those feelings of anger. I know being out of work in 5 weeks is scary but I truly believe that something will come along for you. Hugs my beautiful friend ❤️

Re: Battles

I hear how upsetting that can be @NightFury . At the same time, can some self-talk help?

THEY are the ones missing out! Not you!

In the past, I was at a school for 10 years. The environment got so toxix that I left. I felt so bad for leaving, yet the next place I went was incredible! It was a dream to work it. Then abotu 3 terms later, I heard about the role I was in. They hadn't made any progress and had to call the department to get helped...

I chuckled inside.

Tell yourself that this school is not a good fit for you. It's not because you are not a good teacher!
