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.

Hugs @AlwaysMyself I always appreciate virtual hugs.

Hi @MissGremlin I had my dread locks maintenance appointment today. It's a big day. I left home at 8.30 this morning, and have only just walked back through the door. It's about three hours worth of driving and a four hour appointment.

I got green wraps put in today!

Re: Battles

Would love to have a cuppa with you @MissGremlin though I might have coconut milk iced coffee today.

How are things for you?

You don't have to answer that question @MissGremlin

An iced coffee sounds good. Is it a warm day over there?

Re: Battles

@NightFury it is very warm here today. I got stuck at the shops cos my car wouldn't start. I was in the hot sun and I only just got home like 10 minutes ago. My head hurts and I feel sick, I just want to rest but i know i have so much I need to do.

Re: Battles

Allowing yourself to rest for half an hour might help @MissGremlin.? Sometimes we need to slow down for a bit, in order to recoop energy so that we can speed up.

Re: Battles

@NightFury I'm just taking things slowly. I need to do things cos there's way too much to get done still and I've only got tomorrow left to do it all..

Re: Battles

Then taking it slowly sounds like a good idea @MissGremlin do you have something on this coming week?

My glass had a hole in it again, my iced coffee ran out.
