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.

I am awake @MissGremlin

Luna just gave me the biggest hug. I made coffee and now I'm just laying in bed.

How are things on your end?

@NightFury awwww sweet Luna. I have Stellas paws on my back and Casper on my feet.

I've barely slept and things are feeling heavy (I'm safe).

Re: Battles

Hugs @MissGremlin sorry to hear that. Do you have opportunities to rest throughout the day? Or maybe try and snuggle down and get some rest/sleep now?

Re: Battles

@NightFury maybe, but I'm just not able to switch off to rest.

I'm not getting email notifications again, I was yesterday but they've stopped again.

Re: Battles

@NightFury i started making myself a cuppa but got distracted. I'm feeling so emotional, I have tears on the edge of wanting to come out.

I'll find the post from the other day and let them know.

Re: Battles

I know it's hard and it sucks @MissGremlin but it's okay to let them out. I know you feel similarly to me about crying...but it is okay.

Re: Battles

@NightFury i know, I just don't want the headache that comes after it. I finally made my cuppa.

I have a question for you, it's a bit of a sensitive one though so please don't answer if it makes you uncomfortable at all.

Not sure if it needs a Trigger warning either being that it's discussing SH

Content/trigger warning

Do your scars from SH ever get sensitive, as in it's like you can feel them there again and it's tender to touch? The scars are like over 4 years old now.
