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.

Re: Battles

@Chasingsunsets that support button likes the attention 😂. I'm not even tired which is rather frustrating.

@Chasingsunsets haha oh the shenanigans of the support button 😂.

Hopefully I can at some stage, tooth infection pain is really getting to me at the moment so I'm going to take some pain relief and hope that it helps.

Re: Battles

@Chasingsunsets yeah still the same one. It's kind of wearing me down or maybe it's the thoughts (I'm safe). I'm not even sure right now, I'm in the process of writing how I'm feeling out cos I need to get it out of my head.

Night night, chat to you next time.

Re: Battles

Yeah @MissGremlin I hear you, things like that definitely don’t help at the best of times and certainly not when our MH isn’t at its best. Writing all your thoughts down is a great idea. Sorry I can’t stay on for any longer however also might be good I head off to give you the space to write all your thoughts. Take care and thinking of you, should be on in the morning some time hopefully 😊

Re: Battles

Firstly please know that I'm safe and whilst things are so very dark i am doing what I need to do and reaching out to a crisis service when things get really bad.

I'm also not tagging anyone in this other than the PSW's cos i know it's dark and heavy, but i needed to get this out. I've been sitting with this alone since surviving new years eve and it's honestly been such a struggle. I am waiting for help since my doctor did a referral (before Christmas) but despite me telling the service I was referred to where I was at with my thoughts i was refused being put into the suicide prevention program. So now it's just a waiting game as to when they'll call and what sort of help they will even be able to provide, if any. Please let me know if anything needs to be changed/removed, I don't want to get in trouble and lose this space.

Can you please put a trigger warning on this cos I can't from my phone.

The aftermath

Noone talks about what it's like to survive when you'd planned to end your life. Waking up the next day to realise that you somehow made it through. Reality hits and you question everything, why, how, now what?. I'm stuck in limbo, not living, just existing. But for what, I feel nothing, no joy, hope, pleasure. It's only pain, despair, suffering, torment. I sit here and think about when will I plan the next date and will that be it, or will something pop up to give me a reason to fight another day. I feel like the darkness is calling my name, like it's pulling me in. Death for me isn't something I fear but rather it's something I crave. I long to escape this world, to leave it all behind. I'm exhausted in a way that affects my entire body, when every task takes so much effort and leaves me feeling drained. Sitting in this space is overwhelming, it's frustrating and makes me so uncertain for what the future holds, if anything at all. Is there a way past this, is there hope, is it possible to come back from this?.

Re: Battles

Hi @MissGremlin

I can hear you're really questioning things and what it is that keeps you going. It sounds like an incredibly difficult space to be in 🥀

Is there any particular kind of support you'd find helpful from the community tonight?
