My struggle

Hi Evie I have sent you the message again from the previous moderator, hopefully this can help, if not perhaps you need to call 000 or lifeline?

What strategy or support did you use last time you were feeling this way? Or maybe you can try some new strategies. There's plenty of information about strategies others have used and recommend if you do a quick search of the forums. Even something simple like going for a walk, imagining you're in a peaceful and happy place, or listening to some uplifting music

Have you mentioned to your psychologist that you might need some coping strategies? I'm sure they can help you with some ideas next time you have an appointment.

Remember you can contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 if you need to talk to someone immediately.

Hey @Evie1 I suffer from anxiety too and have got suicidal thoughts too.

What helps me is a few different things, but some things are:

Punch a punching bag or pillow

scream into a pillow

watch my favourite show - big bang theory

turn some uplifting music on and just walk around the house if late

play on my ipad

go on youtube and watch tv bloopers (makes me giggle)

Is there something there you could try or might give you ideas of something else you could do

@Evie1well can you put that on and just keep replaying it till you feel a bit better. What else could you do?

@Evie1well that is great that you are trying to stop self harming. I know it takes a lot of strength to change our ways and try and use different coping strategies.

All the strategies that I listed I use them to try and stop myself from self harming too.
