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

I'm hoping it'll settle too.

Luna's very anxious and barking a lot at random noises tonight too. @MissGremlin maybe we both need to curl up in bed.

Hello lovelies! Just checking in. It sounds like some early rest and wind-down time might be in order tonight? 🥰 @NightFury @MissGremlin

Re: Battles

@NightFury oh that is always a little unsettling too. Hopefully she curls up with you and settles for the night. Definitely a perfect night for curling up in bed i think ☺️.

Hello @AuntGlow, today's been a little lighter for me and i was able to get some housework done. I spoke to my doctor this morning and i was honest telling him about how I've been feeling and my thoughts and how close I've come to acting on them particularly last night and how I've been using SH to cope (I'm safe). He's prescribed me another medication to try so I'll hopefully get that script filled tomorrow and see how that goes. He also gave me a number to ring to try and get some support but the person I spoke to was hard to understand but he's given me another number to ring so I'll see if I can ring that tomorrow cos I really need help.

How are you going sweet?

@AuntGlow I had an appointment with my EAP counsellor and we talked about a lot. It's been a big afternoon and I'm starting to feel a little...drained as a result. An early wind down sounds amazing.

Re: Battles

Yay! I am so glad you were able to get some housework done, that must feel good.

I am also happy to hear you were able to confide in your GP and that he suppported you - that's really positive. 💛 @MissGremlin

@NightFury I completely understand why you would be feeling drained after a big conversation. Please feel free to tag me over on your thread - I would love to hear all about it. 🥰

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow it was good to get things done but I'm feeling sore and tired after it.

It was a very emotional phone call and it was hard to talk about things. I felt like things just came rushing out once I started but I've been keeping everything bottled up cos I was scared to open up.
