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've been feeling unwell today...again @MissGremlin sore throat, upset tummy. Not sure what's going on...I keep getting sick.

I feel a bit...defeated.

Re: Battles

@NightFury oh sweetheart I'm sorry to hear, sending you gentle hugs. When we are worn down mentally it also can impact us physically. Did you end up going to lawn bowls?

Re: Battles

I did play today @MissGremlin

Almost had to tap out because I felt ill, but made it through. I'm struggling with being mentally worn down too.

I'm sorry I did a runner on you last night.

Re: Battles

@NightFury I'm glad you still got to play, you did well to make it through despite feeling unwell. I hear you sweet and i do understand all too well.

Oh sweet it's completely ok, you didn't do a runner though, you did exactly what you needed to do to take care of you and that's ok ❤️

Re: Battles

The whole...reminders of the fact that in 3 weeks time I'm on holidays and my work contract is over...is a big trigger for HUGE anxiety and big emotions @MissGremlin so I did a runner.

Re: Battles

@NightFury it's completely understandable to have so much anxiety over this and your feelings are so valid sweet. It's ok that you took time out, just know that I'm always here whenever you want or need to chat ❤️.
