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.

@NightFury i don't see it as you've wasted your morning but I think it shows that your body really needed some rest. That's why I slept so much last night, it wasn't by choice but my body needed it after running on 2-3 hours of sleep every night for i don't even know how long.

Re: Battles

Honestly, I could have rolled back over and slept for longer @MissGremlin but I have things to do before I can sit down and Lego with you. Sleeping is not getting those things done. So, I guess you're right...my body needed the rest and probably still needs more of it, but the jobs on my to do list make it feel like I've wasted my time.

@NightFury i hear you sweet, it's so hard when there's things that need to be done and then the guilt that comes with not getting them done. Just be gentle with yourself sweet ❤️.

Hi @MissGremlin

In spite of my late start, I've been busy this morning. I did a couple of loads of washing, took Luna for a walk, tidied up my bedroom where I'd just dumped stuff from yesterday, and did three hours of study in preparation for my assignment that's due on Sunday, made a phone call to my new employer to talk next steps and I've just had some lunch.

How are things over there?

Re: Battles

@NightFury well you have certainly done well sweetheart, I'm proud of you for getting so much done ❤️.

I did a load of washing, cleaned my kitchen sink and did the dishes, cleaned the bathroom and then vacuumed the house. I think i overdid it as I started to get dizzy so I decided it was time to stop for an iced coffee and to catch up on the forums.

Re: Battles

You've been busy too @MissGremlin and you've also gotten a lot done. Well done! I am proud of you too.

Coffee and a forums catch up sounds like a great way to chill following all that work.

Re: Battles

I do! I'm hoping it works out that we can.

I have telehealth appointment at 5, and an online class at 8 pm. Blergh! @MissGremlin I would miss the class if it wasn't an assignment week!
