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.

Re: Battles

I'm glad you got a little bit of rest @MissGremlin but it sounds as if you were woken by someone else. It's always a rough way to wake up.

I have a lawn bowls game today. What about you?

Re: Battles

@NightFury it is. I don't mind being there for people but getting woken up at 7.26am to a phone call just so they can dump all their problems on you isn't fair. Yes I'm aware I can ignore the call but that's not me cos I care about people and when they are struggling I try my best to be there to support them. But that support is supposed to go both ways but yet every message i send gets ignored until it's convenient for them or they need to vent to someone. And that's my vent about it all, moving on 😂.

I hope the lawn bowls game goes well. I have a little errand to run today but other than that I don't have anything and I think I'll be hiding from the heat.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin I'm glad you got to vent and to get it out. It does go both ways yes, and it feels unfair if it isn't reciprocated.

We'll see how it goes, Dreamy. Today might be a good day to be extra kind to myself and try not to criticise myself and stress out if I'm playing badly.

@NightFury i think it's definitely a good day to be extra kind to yourself. As long as you do your best then that's all that matters ☺️

Morning hugs to you both @NightFury @MissGremlin .

Hope you both can be gentle with yourselves and extra self-care and compassion today.

I hope the lawn bowls goes well today @NightFury , and can be a relaxing and/or enjoyable social time for you -- regardless of whether or not you perform/do as well as usually do. 🥰

Morning @AlwaysMyself

I feel a little defeated this morning. I was doing well this week and then it shifted yesterday afternoon and now things are heavy and I feel horrible. So, that's why I need to take care of myself and show myself some compassion at bowls today.

Re: Battles

Hello @Captain24 sweet, i was awake earlier this morning but dozed off briefly just before and now I've woken up in a panic so I'm working on calming myself down.

How are you feeling today?

A doze is good @MissGremlin

Use Casper, pat him, feel his hair, run your fingers through it, feel his breathing, feel his heart rate.
