life is too hard

life is too hard

Hi..i am not coping..i dont think anyone can help me..i have been having suicidal thoughts for a long time and have had a couple of unsuccesful attempts..i see a phsyciatrist, phsycologist,am currently doing DBT,and have been hospitalised 3 times in the past year...none of which is helping..the only positive thing i have in my life is my cat..but even he hasnt stopped the dark thoughts...i do have the means with which to end it all..its just a matter of when...i have read some of the other posts and can relate to most of them...i just want to be happy but every day is just so hard...my brain is moosh...im not eating or sleeping properly...which is making me feel worse...i guess thats enough for now...thanks for reading this post..😿

@catgirl @Mazarita @whitedog @Queenie

😺

I am picking up that you are more settled...you have some strong support and much respect on here..

Many of us when younger think that we are the only ones with problems...stigma..bullying..ridicule..all keep us hiding our illnesses..very draining..

Isolation just makes it worse...my issue...I bounce up and down..life keeps on dishing out more...

we learn that we go down but we can get back up..each time that little bit more resilient..

I have read that between the lines in your responses today..

I am not on here as often as some and sometimes get lost in other threads..say hello and I will try to find you...

we all like having you around...another hug...group hug if all comfortable with that..

night

@catgirl here's the link for the course. It's with the Edx platform and is run by Berkely University lecturers. I've never used Facebook with Edx so you should be fine without it.

Re: life is too hard

@catgirl I really like week 1 of the course because people were talking about things that made them happy. I'm going to think a bit about what makes me happy. It's a bit inspirational to see what other people say. 🙂
