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.

@AlwaysMyself I'm sorry that i haven't replied to your post. I've only just stopped to sit for 5 minutes. I've tried to read it but my eyes keep jumping all over the page and I can't focus. But I'm going to come back to it later.

I hope your day has been good sweet.

Re: Battles

That is totally fine @MissGremlin . I saw that you were having a really hard time, and chatting with @NightFury who i was so glad was here to have a cuppa and help sit with you.

I didnt want to interrupt because i know @NightFury pretty much knows you best and most likely knows what will and wont help you in that moment, where as i may distract that flow and accidently make things worse. 🤗

I was worried that maybe what i posted had triggered you. If that is the case, or for any other reason you may want me to, let me know and i will remove what i said earlier today. My focus here is what helps YOU.

Re: Battles

@AlwaysMyself i was very overwhelmed earlier but I've calmed down a little now.

@NightFury and I often have a cuppa together, sometimes we chat other times it's just knowing that there's someone there. But you are always welcome to jump in and join us if you are around ☺️.

No, not at all sweet. I want to read it, just brain is all over the place and when it's like that I can only focus on little posts.

Hello lovely @MissGremlin 💖

You don't have to do groups to do 1-1's 🫶

I hear you on this fear of things coming crashing down... what would happen if you allowed yourself to really relish in your joy, knowing that it will shift and change (as all our emotions do)? ☺️

GAH! Internet problems are so stressful, this is understandably overwhelming. Is it working a bit better now?

You did some really productive things the other day! Good on you. 💪 Sometimes I feel angry when I haven't eaten. 😩 Vegemite toast helps when I am feeling that way, but not so hungry.

Are you a Vegemite fan? We can still be friends if you're not, it's okay... mostly. 😝

Hello sweet @AuntGlow.

That's good to know, it's something I might look into.

I don't know, I'm not sure it's possible. I did touch base on this with my counsellor the other day and she said we'll talk about it when I have my next appointment.

It's been better since I set up the new modem but not everything I need is connected. They are coming out to replace the cabling to my house on the 12th so hopefully that will fix everything.

I have no issue with Vegemite although I only have a very light spread of it when I do eat it. Casper on the other hand absolutely loves it.

Today has been such a hard day and I'm struggling with thoughts and urges. I'm safe and I'm trying so hard to keep it that way. I've got an audiobook playing and I'm working on another picture.

Morning @MissGremlin checking in to see how things are over there?

Re: Battles

Morning @NightFury my sweet, I'm awake. I have so many thoughts, feelings and emotions though. It's tough to sit with (I'm safe).

How's things over there sweet?

Re: Battles

I'm having a cuppa in bed.

I had a bit of a rough night. @MissGremlin at least I got some sleep last night, but I had lots of dreams and was woken by a nightmare once. My dreams are starting to have an impact on me and they're bringing up lots of feelings.

Re: Battles

@NightFury i cuppa in bed sounds nice. I had an iced coffee but it didn't even make it back to bed with me. I'm sitting here writing out a couple of lists. I have to get up soon to start doing everything but I don't have the energy or motivation.

I'm sorry it was a rough night sweet. Nightmares are horrible and the dreams can be hard especially when they bring up lots of feelings. I'm here for you sweetheart, sending you lots of hugs ❤️.
