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.

@Appleblossom snakes are very misunderstood i think. I'm very much the same in that I connect with animals better than I do people, they don't judge you.

It was a beautiful act and was so unexpected. I've been shopping at the same store for many years, they've seen me at my best and seen me at my worst. They always look out for me and I'll often get hugs from a few of them when they know I'm having a rough time.

I love how you call it supermarket therapy ☺️.

I hope it's a nice night for you even being a quiet one ❤️

@MissGremlin

That is amazing

You deserve that in your life

I'm so glade that you have had the chance to experience that beautiful jesture

There's nothing more satisfying than giving

Or tho it's an even greater experience to receive

Most of the time when it's needed the most

It never comes

But when it's unexpected like today for you

You truly needed something special

You have your self a wonderful new year's Eve

And a big hug from me

To let you know your cherish

By another stranger

Me ☺️

Re: Battles

I'm home now @MissGremlin munching on maccas for lunch.

It was nice sitting with a coffee and journalling. I always worry about what others think of me, if I sit on my own with a coffee and a notebook, or a book to read, bit today a lovely old lady came up to me and said, "I'm sorry, but I just need to compliment your handwriting. You have beautiful writing and it's lovely to see. I loved English when I was in school and it's lovely to see someone writing."

I was kind of taken aback.

I brought myself some things...probably shouldn't of...but...

* Three new colouring in books

* A puzzle/crossword book (I saw someone on the forums comment about liking doing the puzzles and sending them in to try and win stuff and that sparked a memory of me really enjoying doing the same thing. So, I figured I'd revisit it)

* a visual art sketch pad

* a sketch/write notebook.

💜💜. @MissGremlin

Feeling low with no interest or energy to do anything

going to get comfy on the couch, feet on small ottoman and read a book. These 2 will be happy. Due to their distinctive markings I’m cautious with sharing photo of them as @AlwaysMyself is aware.

Re: Battles

@NightFury oh you just reminded me that I need to try to eat something.

I understand that worry. Awww that's amazing that you got that compliment and something to treasure. I love writing things down, when I was in school we had to prove we could write in cursive before getting our pen license. I still love to use cursive now when I write anything down, I was told that I had the most beautiful writing at school ☺️.

Oohhh I love the colouring books and I have the majestic animals one myself. The puzzle magazines are so much fun to do and the bonus that if you enter you might win something ☺️.

I'm so glad you treated yourself to some things, you deserve it my sweet ❤️

Re: Battles

@Flutterbug9 sorry to hear you are feeling low sweet, I'm sitting here with you ❤️.

Getting comfy on the couch with a book and having 2 beautiful kitties to snuggle with sounds absolutely perfect. They are absolutely gorgeous 😍. Completely understand being cautious of sharing and I'm very much the same.

Thankyou, I'm on the hunt for the perfect profile picture but this one seems fitting for the moment.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin Hello lovely. I love the name Zola!

Im sorry you woke up with nightmares and a really bad panic attack. I am really glad though you had someone to reach out to that helped you feel calmer in that moment. How are you feeling today?

How was the supermarket? I saw something good happened? I’m so glad it did.


I am depressed, panicked and feeling just pretty over feeling this bad. Overwhelmed and stuck. I’ll be home and just doing what I normally do for the New Year’s Eve.
