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.

Morning @NightFury my sweet, I've barely had any sleep and I'm really not feeling ok at the moment (I'm safe).

How did you sleep sweet?

Re: Battles

Sorry to hear that, my friend. @MissGremlin hugs to you. Due to it being a transition day for the kids (they're spending time in their new classrooms, with the teachers they'll have next year), I have a bit of a quiet day at work today and I only teach this afternoon, so I will be around if you need to chat.

I slept okay. I woke super early though, I have another event to attend tonight...which I'm in two minds about, but it's only for a couple of hours, and I'll sneak out early if I need to.

Thankyou @NightFury my sweet ❤️.

Ahhh yes transition day, I hope all the kids have a good time with their new teachers. A bit of a quiet day for you sounds nice.

I had only just dozed off at 1.50am for 20 minutes last night after having a seizure and then I woke up having a panic attack after a nightmare that felt so real. Then I was awake until 4.09am and had another seizure but was out of it until 6.49am. I'm safe but feeling very sore and I'm not quite with it at the moment. I've just made myself a cuppa and I'm sitting back in my bed. @StuF tagging you here rather than posting in every thread.

I'm glad you slept ok, sorry you woke super early though. Well if you do choose to go to the event i hope you have a good time. Sneaking out early is always an option if you need to, always do what feels best for you sweet.

How are you going?

Re: Battles

It does sound nice, but also a reminder that I am not one of those teachers getting to know their class for next year @MissGremlin

I've also been asked into a meeting with the principal to check in on how I'm going looking for work for next year. So, today will be an interesting day for me. My anxiety seems to be in overdrive at the moment and it's exhausting.

Goah that sounds like such a rough night. I can understand why your body would be so sore and why you're feeling a bit...out of it this morning. I hope you find time to rest throughout today. It sounds like you need it.

It's a Grade 10 Leaver's dinner for the school I used to teach at. I was there for 8 years and had this year's grade 10's for grade 6, 7 and 8. The students invited me. I would love to go, because it feels kind of special to be invited by the students, to be remembered. But also, I am under no obligation to stay for the whole two hours. I'll play it by how I feel.

Re: Battles

@NightFury i hear you sweet and i understand.

I really hope the meeting with the principal goes ok. Just remember that you are doing everything you can sweet. I know how exhausting the anxiety can be, try to be gentle with yourself beautiful ❤️.

I'm hoping to get some rest during the day but right now that's not an option. I've got things going on here and I'm feeling very overwhelmed. (I'm safe).

Oh it sounds lovely and how sweet that the students invited you. Definitely play it by how you feel sweet.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin ! I'm okay! I just spoke with my psychiatrist and talked about a few things on my mind. It's always good to talk to him and get his perspective, although he wants to make a change next year that I'm not looking forward to. Oh well, let's get over Christmas first! 💛

Re: Battles

@heartathome glad you got to talk to your psychiatrist, the change sounds a bit tough. But getting through Christmas first sounds like a good step. You've got this sweet ❤️
