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

That's completely fair @MissGremlin and it's totally okay to not do 5 senses, maybe just spend a minute each (or 30 seconds if that's more accessible) on your sight, hearing, and touch?

And if you're not able to move your body too much maybe progressive muscle relaxation could be an alternative

Sometimes repeating something like a mantra can help to, something simple like I am safe, or anything that works for you

@Ru-bee I'm trying everything but I just can't seem to calm myself down. I've made the report to police now. They actually got the person that did this cos he went to the doctors i go to. So he has been taken in for questioning.

Re: Battles

Okay @MissGremlin that's good that they were able to find and take him in.

Good on you for doing that report, I'm sure that wouldn't have been easy

Re: Battles

@Ru-bee no it wasn't. Why is my life like this? I'm being screamed abuse at right now. I don't know what I did to deserve all this. I'm so done 😞

Re: Battles

Who's yelling at you at the moment @MissGremlin?

You certainly don't deserve any of this, no one does

Sounds like you've had a really hard day @MissGremlin I hear you, it just doesn't seem to be letting up today. Are they gone now?

Re: Battles

Thankyou @Ru-bee ❤️. I've chatted to 1800respect who couldn't help and I'm currently chatting to LL. I just can't handle this right now, I'm right on that edge of just snapping.
