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.

@MissGremlin Wilbur is right next to me and I’m patting his belly which he really likes.

They sure do need a lot of extra funding. I’ll be here while you wait for crisis line to pick up.

I understand sometimes our thoughts are so loud that colouring in or watching a movie that feels safe and soothing isnt enough or can’t be done.

Remember that our mind tells us things that simply are not true. Mine does it all the time. That being here means we will get to experience those good things coming ahead that we can’t see right now.

Have you had anything to eat today? What’s your favourite snack?

@Cuddlebear awww sweet Wilbur 😍.

Thankyou, I'm glad you are here with me ❤️

I don't like when they are so loud, it makes doing anything to distract myself difficult.

I know they do but it's hard not to believe what it says sometimes.

I have eaten today.

I don't have favourite things.

Re: Battles

@Captain24 AuntGlow was saying for us to talk about how I made a box up to grab when things get too much. I'm more than happy to chat about it if you'd like to ☺️.

@MissGremlin I know it’s very hard to not believe it when it’s loud. It can be very convincing.

The thing is you mean a lot to me. You are a magnificent person who has a lot of worth Dreamy. I know Caspar also absoluteky loves you and that there’s a bunch of people here who love you too including me. That’s because you have such beautiful traits, talents and abilities. You think of us everyday with your beautiful affirmations too. And even when you are moving through the darkness to light you support others who are in the same situation.

Im glad you have eaten just wanted to make sure that there’s some food in your tummy.

@Cuddlebear @MissGremlin @AlwaysMyself @NightFury

Gizmo is sooo cute. Looks like Lego have done a good job. After seeing the picture I’ve done quick search n Lego website $150 available now. Is tempting. Might have to be adult and wait until I get quote for alfresco blinds plus steel fabrication firm.

Anyone seen or used mosaic mystery colour by number? I did couple of these type f pictures when in hospital start of this month. Earphones on, music playing, colouring in and I was just in that space.

ncis dvd almost finished then going to bed after taking my sleep meds. Hoping everyone has restful night and gets some sleep.

new day tomorrow to forget about today and start anew

night

Reading along as i wind down for bed, in support of you both @Cuddlebear @MissGremlin . I wish i knew the right words to say to give comfort and reassure that you (both!) are so valued and loved here - by me and others. I can tell others do too because of the words they say to you in genuine language and you also to them.

If it helps for you to mention the thoughts that you would like a y help to combat, please do so and we can give you OUR truth to help combat any misbelief from your anxious or depressed brain. 🥰 above all, know i/we care. We choose to be here (i choose to keep checking in) because we WANT to, because we VALUE and LIKE you. 🥰

Hope you can connect through soon and hope the person you speak to "gets" you and is a great compassionate listener and can help alieviate some of the feelings.

How are you doing now @Cuddlebear ? I saw ypu said earlier you tried to call a line also but the wait was too long. (I think ive called lines only twice in the past, and both were 30min wait which feels an eternity at the time!)

Re: Battles

@Cuddlebear awww my sweet, thankyou for your beautiful and kind words. I'm so grateful to have you here and you mean the world to me ❤️.

I love you beautiful ❤️.

Re: Battles

@AlwaysMyself @MissGremlin I completely agree. We are here checking in with Dreamy because we do CARE, we do VALUE and LIKE you.

If it does help you to mention your thoughts we can give you our truth.

I am safe AlwaysMyself. I have gentle classical music playing which is helping slow my thoughts down. Doesn’t always work but is right now which is good.

I appreciate you checking in with us even after having a very big day yourself. Thank you. ☺️

@Flutterbug9 the lego gizmo is very cute, I can't wait to build it. Damn having to be an adult and wait 😂.

Oohhh I've heard of them but haven't done any. I might have to see if I can get some now ☺️. So glad you had them to do while you were in hospital.

Hope you have a restful night sweet ❤️.
