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.

Oh hunny! It sounds tough. Hugs to you, my friend @MissGremlin

I've had a really anxious start to the day. Just the whole..."something's wrong, something feels off," anxiety brain. I found a lump under my arm this morning - cue panic attack in the shower. And I haven't been able to slow my brain down since.

Hey @MissGremlin, it’s going ok. Just trying to find the motivation for my 18.5 hour shift normally I can do them fine just harder at the moment but that’s ok just got to get through it.

I hear your day has started a bit rocky which is understandable, how’s mr Casper 🐶

Re: Battles

Thankyou @NightFury my sweet❤️.

Oh I understand that anxiety brain well. Finding a lump is definitely scary, have you thought about making an appointment with your gp to get it checked? I know it's hard to slow your brain down especially after finding something like that. Just try to bring things back to the basics, so focus on your breathing, keeping yourself grounded and having something to eat/drink. I'm here with you sweet ❤️

Re: Battles

Hehe Mr Casper has he been doing any zoomies lately? Indi’s tucked up still resting with me, she was up early though and asked to be let out 🐶

I might need some double shot iced coffees to get me through hehe I might actually ask for some caramel in it too 😋. Have you had an iced coffee yet? I noticed you were up early ☕️
