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.

@Captain24 Please don’t leave. You are wanted, loved and are important. I remember reading over couple posts by Auntglow. The post I saw which mentioned by you and Dreamy was about a box of things that Dreamy mentioned she has and Auntglow mentioning you have similar.

there was a post by Auntglow that mentioned about someone having upset Dreamy and that an email had been sent.

has been tiring, draining, exhaustive days for various people recently and, I know from personal experience, mind tends to use those times to play games with us, trying to confuse us, making us feel we are not wanted and/or done things wrong.

i haven’t seen anything that you have said that is wrong.

@Flutterbug9 it wasn't that someone had upset me as such it was that there was someone that I was supporting in another thread that was struggling and I was concerned about them. But the peer support workers were in touch with them via email so I'm glad that they were supported.

But no @Captain24 you have never said anything to upset me. I only stopped replying earlier cos I laid down and had a nap as I was feeling very overwhelmed.

Debating between getting shower etc and doing some chores or going back to bed for the day

how are things with you today @MissGremlin

Re: Battles

@Flutterbug9 that's a tough debate. Maybe having a shower and then seeing how you feel after that could be a good idea.

I got up earlier to do a couple of things but I dozed off before and I just woke up after having a nightmare. Working on calming myself down cos my body is all shaky (I'm safe). I just feel so exhausted and drained.

Re: Battles

Sorry to hear about the nightmare @MissGremlin

I can hear the drain and exhaustion it has caused.

what things do you use to calm down and ground yourself?

shower won which has helped release some tension in my back. Starting thinking about ‘home is where your heart is’ post. Starting thinking about which house feels like home and burst into tears. I’m tired of going into tears at drop of a hat

Re: Battles

@Flutterbug9 oh sweet, I'm sitting with you. I have tears aswell, you're not alone ❤️.

I only have my home but at times it hardly feels like home if that makes sense.

I need and want to have a shower but I'm struggling to find the motivation to actually do anything about it.
