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.

@Cuddlebear awwww thankyou beautiful ❤️.

It is, Casper loves a good belly rub.

I've been trying to nap for almost 3 hours but I can't switch my thoughts off, I'm so exhausted. (I'm safe).

@NightFury It’s really good you took Luna for a walk and got to the shop. These are big things when feeling heavy. You’re welcome to join us here.

I love your drawing. You’re very gifted. She reminds me of a warrior woman. A kind one. I like how she’s looking at me with a welcoming smile.

@MissGremlin I’m not sure if watching something light will help your brain switch from thoughts to what you might watch?

If you want to no pressure you’re welcome to share your thoughts. Perhaps I can offer some reassurance and counter act any thoughts your mind is telling you that are not true. My mind does that to me a lot. I’m here if you need me.

@Cuddlebear i just changed movies over to see if that helps.

It's dark thoughts at the moment, not wanting to be here, feeling like a burden and that I don't matter. I feel so defeated. (I'm safe).

I reached out to a crisis service before to talk things through, it helped a bit but it doesn't make the thoughts go away.

I just want to be held, to know that somehow things will be ok. I'm tired of feeling so worn down, not having the energy to do anything and crying so much.

I'm laying on my lounge with Casper across my legs, a movie on in the background and I'm going to close my eyes to see if I can sleep.

I've just wanted to say how beautiful I think it is to see you supporting one another! You are all really special people and I for one, am glad you and the thread are around! It feels like a really safe space.

I don't 'stalk' you 'guys' but will occasionally read a post to see how you're going. Sending much love and warm vibes. I'm not much into Christmas or New Year so this is the best I can do! 😄💛

@MissGremlin I just finished doing bird cage.

Dreamy I am glad you reached out to the crisis line and here to me. You are not a burden in any way shape or form. I want you to be here. I care Id be devastated if anything were to happen to you. I truly mean that. You are not going to be defeated and we are both going to walk this together. I know when the thoughts of SI are there that the feeling of defeated is huge. The truth is that every single day you’ve conquered this. Every single one. And we will walk this path together no matter how dark it gets.

I really honestly wish I could hold you and be there to support you in person. I’d do it without any hesitation. I can hold you here and tell you that you are a special person in my life no matter it’s online. I couldn’t care and love you as a friend more if I met you in person.

It was a good idea to change movies. I’m hoping you are getting some sleep at the moment.

Sending you love, hugs, healing and letting you know again you matter to me and are not a burden.

@heartathome Thank you lovely. It’s beautiful to see you drop in. Dreamy had created a very safe space here for us.

Glitter is always needed. Anytime if year and especially today while we are struggling.

Are you well?

I'm doing okay @Cuddlebear I plan on going to see a Fleetwood Mac tribute band tomorrow night with a friend. We're going to have dinner together beforehand. It will be the third time seeing them. In case you couldn't guess, I'm a big fan of Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac! I'm excited but also anxious. All normal!

I'm glad you've got a safe space and some beautiful friends! 💛

@Cuddlebear thankyou sweetheart, I'm so thankful to have you here ❤️. Just some days feel harder than others to get through, today is one of those days. I'm not able to get any sleep which is really quite frustrating, I put a load of washing in earlier and I just hung it out. I will do my birds cage in a minute aswell.

I was looking through the guide dogs Australia Facebook page and was admiring the gorgeous pics of puppies, it made me smile. I did try to be a volunteer to train a guide dog but sadly a tooth infection got in the way and I had to hand back the puppy I had. I even saw a puppy on there called Wilbur, I scrolled back for ages cos that one post was like a year and a half ago 😂. I love how they do themes with naming the litters. Anyway that served as a good distraction, puppies are enough to make anyone smile ☺️.

Thankyou so much for being here and for all the love and hugs. I'm sending love and hugs right back to you beautiful. You mean so much to me ❤️
