Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

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

Aww sounds like a rough day for ya @MissGremlin - puzzle and a cuppa sounds like a nice way to stay grounded. I'm glad to hear you're safe hun, even with the thoughts being so strong. Please be gentle with your wonderful self, and don't hesitate to reach out to supports as needed - better to call sooner to slow a spiral, than later once the spiral feels all-consuming, yeah? You got this hun 💜

Re: Battles

@Jynx I've been sitting at my puzzle for a couple of hours and I've only placed one piece 😂. Brain is just not braining today. Reaching out feels scary at the moment, don't want to say the wrong thing. I'm just keeping myself distracted and connected here. Thankyou ❤️.

Re: Battles

Quick question. Do you have leave banked up from the school you work at @NightFury ? I know people who are leaving the system so they are using up all their leave.

Are you working tomorrow?

Thinking of you and hope you are okay.

Re: Battles

It was a bit awkward at times because I haven't done it before! haha but it was fun and silly, and I enjoyed throwing myself in/learning on the job.

What have you been up to? 💛 @Shaz51

Re: Battles

Anytime @MissGremlin 💖

Hmmm, battling sounds hard... I always ask @NightFury, "What does your heart need right now?"

I am curious to know what comes up when you ask yourself this question? 🫶

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow I'm not sure, it's been a long time since I've listened to what my heart needs. I'm not even sure i know how to, I'm not sure i can separate what's coming up between my head and my heart, if that makes sense?

Re: Battles

I know! Dipping my toes in new experiences again (to expand my window!). @NightFury

I get the sense you'd be a great photographer. I wish I could see the photos!!

What did you enjoy about that experience?

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow the part that I enjoyed the most...

I got to capture everyone's moments. The smiles, the toasts to the bride, the dancing, the relationships that seem like they're as old as time. I got to capture the memories.

Re: Battles

That makes sense @MissGremlin. And that's okay. 🫶

Maybe we can just start with something you'd enjoy doing in this moment? 🥰
