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.

Re: Battles

@NightFury yes it is. There's a series of them that I've started listening to. Also listening to the Harry potter ones aswell.

Re: Battles

Audio books are great to listen to. @MissGremlin it feels exactly like being read to.

Re: Battles

@NightFury yes and that's not something I ever remember having growing up. I never used to be able to tolerate listening to them but now I can.

Re: Battles

@NightFury it gives me 3 things to do while I'm doing my colouring. I've either got my music, an audiobook or my TV shows.

Re: Battles

I get that. Having choice is a good thing. @MissGremlin if one thing's not helping, then you can swap and try another.

I'm going to tap out, my friend. I feel like my anxiety brain is making me super aware of the words I'm using and that I'm gonna say the wrong thing. I need to try and regulate so that I can get some sleep tonight too.

Re: Battles

@NightFury yes it's helpful to have a few to switch between.

Ok sweet, be gentle with yourself. I hope you can manage to regulate and get a good night's rest. I'll check in with you in the morning.

Night night beautiful ❤️
