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.

@NightFuryI got a little burst of energy and I put my lunch in, I'm making cheesy broccoli and cauliflower bake. I'm about to hop on the shower while that's cooking so I'll chat to you in a bit.

I appreciate your support so much, thankyou my sweet ❤️.

@MissGremlin Hello lovely. How are you feeling today?

I am much the same. It’s warm not very nice weather. I need a shower have not had one for at least a week. I find it hard to do right now.

I’ll try have a shower tonight. Dirty dishes too.

Are you home today?

Hello @Cuddlebear my sweet, i am getting worse which worries me (I'm safe). It's very hot here today aswell and I don't like the hot weather at all. I hear you on the struggle to have a shower, I only just had one but I'd been meaning to for the past 2 days just didn't have the energy to. I'm about to do my dishes, if I could I'd gladly come and do yours for you too.

I am home today, I still have a headache. Last night was full of nightmares and panic attacks so not much sleep happening.

Sending you love and hugs beautiful, I'm here for you ❤️

I find it hard to persuade myself to have a shower. I have them 1-2 times a week unless its very hot and sweaty. I dont know why i have a brain block on it, but i just really dislike the thought of shower/bath - i think it is having to dry myself off afterwards and put on clothes when my skin is still a little damp?

I like walking in the rain though. Being wet is ok, but yeah i think its the drying off. If i can stay in my wet clothes and dry off outside thats OK. 😆

I use a deoderant cream that lasts up to a week (half a week if really hot temps or active sweat). So that helps me with not needing to shower every day.

I wish i was loving showers like @NightFury .

But empathise with @MissGremlin and @Cuddlebear .

Oh but i did have a shower today! But only because im staying at my dads and they will think im gross if i dont 🫣☹️ so i feel the pressure to have one.

@MissGremlin I am sorry you are getting worse Dreamy. You must be feeling tired. Panic attacks with headache are exhausting. If possible take a rest day and just chat here for company. I’m glad you had the shower and did the dishes. Well done. I get them thwt is panic attacks daily at the moment.

Is it hard without the peer workers and staff on leave here? I find it hard when everything closes down.

@AlwaysMyself I don’t know what it is with showers but when my MH is down the drain I find it so hard. I usually take daily showers and am clean. Not at the moment.

I like walking in the rain too. It smells good and feels nice.

Have you met with your friend yet?

Hi @Cuddlebear @AlwaysMyself

I feel like I've used all of my spoons and it's only 12.38 pm. I'm curled up on the couch with the TV on, which breaks my personal rule. I don't let myself turn the TV on until 2 pm during the holidays. @MissGremlin
