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 today has been hard and thoughts have really been hitting hard but I'm safe. I'm about to head to the shops and really not looking forward to the crowds.

Glad today has been a little better than yesterday.

Sorry that today has been another hard day. I'm proud of you for being here and connecting and for heading to the shops in spite of it.

Re: Battles

Good afternoon @MissGremlin!!

Apologies for my delay, how are you feeling today? ✨

Oh no! It's always so disheartening when they discontinue products that bring us calm and joy. I think listening to your body is a good idea here. 💛

Ending the counselling session abruptly would have been quite jarring... has she checked in with you yet?

100%, I completely hear you... you are doing everything you can right now to manage some pretty big feelings. I am proud of you for showing up and trying, that takes a lot of effort and courage.

Awww thank you, I will let you know how I go. 🫶

Re: Battles

Hello @AuntGlow, that's ok. Today has been hard, since stopping the medication I've been feeling really off. The suicidal thoughts today have been really strong (I'm safe), I've tried to sleep most of the day so I don't have to think.

I've been trying to look for other products but there's nothing that I haven't already tried and I don't like the others. I at least can still have a nice cold Milo and that's not a product that's going anywhere.

My counsellor hasn't touched base yet, although I wish she did. She's said I can message her if I need to but I feel weird doing that, like I'm too needy. She made the comment that I seemed to sound stronger this time she talked to me and I really wish I could have said it's only cos I have someone here listening in.

How has your day been?
