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 i get that exhausted and heavy feeling but I'm glad the tears have stopped.

I'm having a hard time with my thoughts and urges at the moment (I'm safe for now), trying to get through to a crisis service but it keeps saying its unable to connect me. Just plaiting some cross stitch threads together to keep myself busy.

Re: Battles

Hello @Spiritual_tree, thankyou. Unfortunately only one of those is an option for me but I was unable to get through. I took my puppy out the back for a bit while I watered the garden as a distraction. I got a video and was going to share here but it won't let me sadly.

Re: Battles

Glad you were able to keep yourself busy with cross.stitch threads and a dog walk 😊 @MissGremlin . Big hugs for the feelings this evening to both you and @NightFury .

Im proud of you both for keeping yourself safe today and looking after yourselves when feeling upset.

And also same to @Cuddlebear with the depression and panic attacks.

I hope you are all sleeping well. I am going to bed now also. Early-ish morning tomorrow and probably a long day with my dad.
