Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

Battles

Re: Battles

@Dreamy Pulling ourselves through the darkness and pushing through them is what makes us strong people and warriors 💪🏼 I thought it’d be interesting to share but sometimes I like to imagine myself being in an action movie where the protagonist (me) uses their sword to fight off all the enemies that are trying to fight against me (I link that to everyone in the world being against me) - like those common fighting scenes in Chinese dramas. :dagger:️ 🏮🐼

Re: Battles

@Blackcloud i don't feel strong or like a warrior at the moment. I feel like i have the entire weight of the world on my shoulders and I'm buckling at the knees. You have a great imagination, mine is useless. Too many times of being put down and told that I'm imagining things that are stupid and unrealistic.

@Blackcloud love that warrior analogy!! 

 

@Dreamy you might not feel like a warrior today, and that's okay. you still conquered a social setting today, and that's huge. 

 

gotta head off now (mod world got a bit busy tonight!), hope you both have a lovely night and i'll catch you both tomorrow!!

Re: Battles

@Dreamy that's okay to not feel like a warrior at the moment. I'm sure you'll come up with things too hehe! I'll have to log off for tonight, but we'll talk to each other in another day ❤️ night night!!

I had another quiet one. Just catching up and emails and stuff before I head off to bed.  It sounds like you had a fun night.  I hate those sort of things so much as well.  It's just bearable if you know a couple of people and can sort of mingle with them, but otherwise it's a nightmare.  I just find the quietest, most secluded corner i can find and sit there until it's over.   So i'm sorry you had to deal with all that tonight.

@MJG017 I'm about to try to get some sleep if I can. My body is cramping in places i didn't think it was possible to, stupid heart playing up and messing with my potassium and magnesium levels. I didn't know anyone there so it was very overwhelming, who would have thought you could be around at least 800 people and not know anyone at all. Just goes to show how much of a loner i am. Anyway hope you have a good night. Chat to you another time I guess.

I can't quite easily imaging being around 800 people and not know anyone.  My first thought would have been 'surely no one would notice I wasn't here.'

 

It sounds like the stuff of nightmares to me!  I'm glad you got through it, but those cramps sound so annoying.  I get them in the legs now.  My potassium and magnesium levels are low as well.  Vitamin D and B12 as well, and some other ones I forget.  It's getting hard to keep track of it all.  I feel like the periodic table of deficincies!
