Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

Feeling worthless 😪

Feeling worthless 😪

Hello 👋 I'm new here and I just needed to express myself to people who understand living with a mental illness. I'm emotionally unstable wreck of a human not worth being on mother earth. I suffer with BPD borderline type and struggling with all my feelings of hate anger worthlessness, I have thoughts of ending it all. I wonder if life is going to get any better for me. I hate having these intense out of control feelings about myself and others. I just needed to say this 🙌 I hope any can relate to my situation

Re: Feeling worthless 😪

Actually @Yuinblackduck73 I assumed you were Yuin from your posting name. Yes our languages Dharawal and Dhurga are from the same language group Yuin

Yeah, I understand about other mob knowing.

It's ok, I just thought I'd let you know about Yarning Space

I do not currently live on country but nearby so I can go there several times per year.

I have been to Yuin of course - lovely country.

What is the Yuin totem?

Dharawal is humpback whale and I'm am loving seeing lots of videos of Burri Burri on Tv etc due to the migration

Nice @Yuinblackduck73 now I fully understand your forums name.

Do you see many umbarra these days?

I'm currently in the Hunter Valley living, don't live on country but our mother Mountain Gulaga is calling me home. Plenty of umbarras on our lake where I grew up. I miss that place

Sorry @Yuinblackduck73 I did not see your post.

Oh so you are in Wonaruah, Awabakal or Worimi country?

I hope you have a chance to get back to Yuin as much as possible.

What type of art do you do painting, weaving, sculpture etc?

Hi @tyme yes it would be nice to connect more, but I feel this is Yuinblackduck73 thread and I don't want to talk about me on here. I'm just mindful of other people's spaces

Hope you are well @Yuinblackduck73

Just taking one step at a time, I'm tired of feeling like this. Thank you for caring and kindness

Hi @Yuinblackduck73 ,

I'm not sure whether or not you'd like me to join in here and also offer support and listening as a peer that experiences difficult thoughts too.

So I am posting to give you the option to choose what you would like. 😊 I'm here to listen, or provide alternative perspectives if desired, or provide friendly chat to distract, or to take an interest in your art and culture (if you are willing to share; I love learning about culture especially and I dont have any Australian Indigenous friends, family or coworkers so sadly I haven't had much opportunity yet to learn from direct person discussions - only what I read).

Let me know if you'd like an extra supportive friendly person in your chat 🙂
