Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

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.

Re: Battles

Thanks @MissGremlin

I feel bad for Luna too. She's gone from having me home every day of the week for five weeks to me doing long work days and not getting hom until late. She's been such a good girl, but I feel bad for her.

You had a busy week this week too, didn't you? How is Casper doing?

Re: Battles

@NightFury awww that would be tough, I'm sure Luna is happy to see you when you get home though.

It was a busy week but still spent alot of it just laying on my lounge with Casper. Casper is good, he loves when I take him outside with the hose when the weather is hot.

Re: Battles

@NightFury Casper gets so excited when I come home if he's been left alone, even if it's only for a short time.

He gets soaking wet running through the hose, he never used to like it but now he loves it.

Re: Battles

I think a lot of people, me included, have something in their past that, if known about, there would be fears of being judged.

I try to look at things from perspective, it’s not my life, I don’t know what happened etc.

“don’t judge a person until you have walked in their shoes”

few years ago I provided support to a person who, due to a decision of their own, came close to loosing care of her young child.

Re: Battles

@Flutterbug9 that's exactly right. From the outside you don't know the exact circumstances of the situation someone was in.

Trigger warning mentions SA!

I

Content/trigger warning
made a mistake getting involved with someone who was a bad person (had charges against him relating to children) and it cost me losing both of my kids. But even when I'd done the right thing and left him after he became violent towards me while we were going through reunification the court system then supported him to have unsupervised access with my son allowing him to SA him. I've never really spoken about this to anyone but there's a reason I didn't fight for my kids but rather chose to support my mother in caring for them and that's because they had formed a bond with her and to destroy that would have been detrimental to them. My daughter was 6 months old when she was placed with my mother and my son from birth (approx 3 days old) as he was taken from me 4 hours after he was born. The system could have done things differently, they could have supported me to get out of living with him so that I could have my kids with me but no they just chose to remove and cause more trauma. Had I have known that years later things would have turned out like this between me and my mother then maybe I would have done things differently. Cos now I don't have a relationship with my daughter as she's been turned against me by my mother, my son is different and still sees me. But I can't change the past, I have to accept what's done is done and just hope that one day things will change.

Sorry for the long post.
