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.

Morning @MissGremlin.

I had a really bad night. I'm okay. I'm sitting in bed with a cuppa.

How'd the night treat you?

@NightFury sorry to hear it was a bad night. It was a rough night for me aswell and I'm feeling very emotional today. I just made a cuppa which I'm about to take back to bed.

Re: Battles

@NightFury i also have some usual jobs to do today. I need to go to the shops. I was meant to yesterday and I did but I couldn't find a car park cos it was so busy and I started panicking and crying so ended up just driving home. I've never done that before, I've always been able to go into the shops even if I've had to cut it short cos it was overwhelming but I've never given up completely.

So I'm trying to prepare myself for the trip today knowing it's probably going to be just as busy.

Re: Battles

Maybe if you go early, it'll be less busy and less overwhelming @MissGremlin? Avoiding the crowds sounds like a great idea.

Don't beat yourself up too much about needing to leave the shops yesterday, my friend. You did what you needed to do for you and there's nothing wrong with that, at all.

Re: Battles

@NightFury but that's where I struggle, I have routine and I always go after lunch. Breaking routine feels scary and overwhelming.

I'm trying not to but I just look at other people and think why do I struggle so much with such a simple task when others don't. I just realised that I've never actually done this before, in that I've never done Christmas time shopping alone, I've always had someone with me. This is the first year I haven't and that hurts aswell, things are so different this year. I really don't want to celebrate Christmas at all and if I had the option to cancel it all together I would.

Anyway lighter subject. How's Luna going?
