Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

Battles

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

You're so welcome @NightFury ❤️.

I appreciate you being here for me too ❤️.

So what's on tomorrow for you? Have you got some kind and gentle things you can do for yourself while you aren't feeling well?

Re: Battles

Hugs @NightFury it's so normal to need to 'cut and run' sometimes. Legit - we satisfy our primal desire to run. Sometimes it helps to also actually... run. If there's spoons of course. But it can 'complete' the brain's danger response to follow our urge to take flight. And also, if you just meant 'signing off and going to bed' that is so valid too 😋 Glad you are doing what YOU need 💜

@MissGremlin your unwavering kindness and support of everyone here is like.... a warm n toasty forums blanket. Thank you for being you 💜

I have some housework that needs to be done @MissGremlin but it could probably wait.

And my parents are coming for dinner.

What about you?

Hi @Jynx I just meant signing off and going to bed, but it was the flight impulse that kicked in. I'm not an actual physical runner. I'll reply to your posts on my thread tomorrow. I'm feeling unwell again and mentally run down so...no spoons for big convos.

Re: Battles

Awwww thankyou @Jynx ❤️.

How's your day been, did you get up to anything fun?

I went for a trip to the shops, had my music playing and kept it quick. On & on came on when I was in the shops, I had to fight the urge to not start dancing 😂. I even helped an elderly guy in a gopher cos he couldn't reach the things he wanted up on the top shelf. Little acts of kindness go a long way 😊

Re: Battles

@NightFury i definitely think that housework can wait. I think tomorrow you should allow yourself to rest until it's time for your parents to come for dinner.

I have no plans for tomorrow, maybe I'll start one of my diamond art sets that I got 😊

Re: Battles

I think I agree with you @MissGremlin I know I really need some down time.

Starting a diamond art set sounds like a great way to spend the day.

Re: Battles

@NightFury it sounds like you need and definitely deserve some down time sweet ❤️.

Yes it does, I was looking at them today and I'd like to start one of them if I can 😊

Re: Battles

@NightFury So fair, lack of spoons is rough at times hey. You are doing you, and that makes me happy. Be gentle with your wonderful self 💜

@MissGremlin hmm... just raspberry pickin again. They're coming in so fast! Might have a boogie later actually! Aww I hope one day you know that you can absolutely dance in the shops!! It's like, not illegal or anything! And that is so super wholesome, go you!! They absolutely do 💜
