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

@AuntGlow thankyou ❤️.

I'm not sure what it needs, other than to just be heard, but to just be allowed to be felt. At the moment I'm having chest pain, that's going through my left arm and into my jaw. I'm trying to convince myself that it's just indigestion but I've only eaten 2 small things earlier today. (I'm safe and I'll reach out to emergency services if i need to). I just wanted to share what was happening right now for me. Please let me know if it's not ok to share this and I'll remove it, i don't want to get in trouble.

Casper is the bestest boy and he's always close by if not on top of me 😂.

Thankyou, I'm so glad to be here and it's been helpful today to have chats with lots of people including some new people ☺️.

Legiiiiit @MissGremlin sometimes when my insomnia gets bad I can't always 'fall asleep', I pretty much have to just wait until I just pass out from exhaustion. Overtired is a thing!

I hope you are able to get some rest tonight hun, and I'll catch up with you next week 💜

Re: Battles

Heard and felt, yes. How could you explore that safely? @MissGremlin

That's okay to share! That sounds quite scary... sometimes I get pains when I am feeling big emotions, I wonder if they could be related?

When do you see your GP next?

Awwww, I think we all need a Casper in our lives.

That's so lovely to hear. 😍

Re: Battles

@Jynx overtired is definitely a thing, I try to allow myself to just rest in the hope that I'll fall asleep eventually or from complete exhaustion.

Hope you have a good week and thankyou for the support and chats. Night night, catch you next week ❤️.

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow good question and one I'm not sure how to answer right now. I'm not used to giving my body what it needs cos I don't usually focus on those needs, I usually just push them aside.

It's possible, it seems to have settled down for now. It's been a really rough 24 hours so maybe a combination of stress and exhaustion. Either way I'll keep an eye on it.

I don't see my gp for another 9 days still which feels like so far away when things are like this.

Hehe Casper is always happy to give everyone cuddles and kisses 😂

Re: Battles

Hey @MissGremlin we're on our way back from spending a day at the pool with the Grade 6's.

I've got some sensory overstimulation happening...

The pool was indoors and so it was hot and smelt like chlorine. The bus ride is loud and the kids have been pumping music all day.

Re: Battles

@NightFury i hear you sweet, it sounds very overstimulating. I hope it's been a good outing for everyone and that you can take some time to regulate a bit after.

Sending you gentle hugs ❤️.

I'm at the shops which are very loud and busy so I understand the feelings.
