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.

Oh yes, i recall the musical one too @MissGremlin !

I do not like musicals, so yes i was not a fan of it either. But i know others who do like it because they like music/singing more than I.

The only musicals i have seen are Avenue Q (at a theatre) and i did watch Hamilton on netflix for free. I would be interested to see Book of Mormon if it was cheap. AQ and BOM because of the comedic songs. Hamilton only because so many talk of it - same reason i should prob watch Wicked if it is streamed somewhere i can access for free/already have.

@Chasingsunsets it is really disappointing but it's not the first time I've been let down.

I appreciate you mentioning them but you are right they are very much a trigger for me. Let's just say they won't talk to me and I'll leave it at that.

Casper is a very good boy and I'll be sure to give him lots of cuddles, he's currently laying across me helping to keep my grounded. I'll share my colouring tomorrow ☺️.

I love that picture. Thankyou for your support, it really means alot.

Hope you get a good sleep, night night ❤️.

@AlwaysMyself it's like everytime I want to skip it but I can't do that, ocd brain says nope you gotta watch every episode 😂.

I was in a musical as a child not that I can remember much from it, but I don't remember seeing any musicals. I've watched like grease and the sound of music but that's about it lol. Haven't seen wicked either.

Morning @MissGremlin

I am so proud of you for taking that phone call and then for being courageous and asking for a different therapist/counsellor. I know how hard that was for you. I am sorry that you feel like you're being punished because of it, but remember - you need to do what's best for you and if asking for someone else was best for you, then you've done nothing wrong.

This time of the year is hard. All of my supports are still on holidays, so I wonder if the service you're interacting with is in the same boat?

We have Gizmo to build if that serves as a distraction/something to look forward to, let me know when you're feeling up to it.

Morning @NightFury my sweet, how's things feeling for you today?

Thankyou my sweet ❤️.

Yes this service will also be closed for periods over the holidays. I was meant to talk to them before Christmas but because I didn't answer her phone call when she first rang i missed out (my fault), but I panicked about not being able to understand her. And I'm in the same boat with my counsellor being on holidays and my gp went away for a bit aswell.

Yes we have our Gizmo to build, it is something I look forward to especially getting to do it with you. Maybe we can make a start either today or tomorrow if you are up for it?

I'm going to do Casper breakfast and make myself a cuppa.

Stay safe in the rain and flooding.

Re: Battles

Morning @MissGremlin and @Shaz51

I would love to start our Gizmo today or tomorrow. I have no plans today or tomorrow, so I'm up for it. Just give me a buzz when you're up for it too.

Things today feel...

I don't know. It's only 8.30 am, and it already feels like it's been a long day. I've woken up feeling really tired. I keep dreaming about teacher life. I think my brain is processing while I'm sleeping. I woke last night from a dream where I was just going through a normal day as a teacher, and I woke again this morning from a dream where I was back as an early childhood teacher. They're not nightmares, they're just normal teacher life things, but odd things to dream about.

I am about to feed Luna, then I'll jump in the shower and take her for a walk around the block, so that we've both had some movement in our day.

Drive safely to the supermarket @Shaz51
