How do you get through your worst pain days?

//Trigger warning for death/suicide mentions//

Some days I'm just in so much pain it feels like my brain and body are SCREAMING at me to kill myself. Like I won't be able to hold on for another second. And everything around me is suddenly frustrating and painful and overwhelming.

How do you hold on when you feel like you're at the end of your rope because of pain?

That sounds like a series of thoughts that are unfortunately very difficult to overcome! While everyone is different, I find it extremely helpful to talk it out with someone else. When you're not in crisis, it can be helpful to chat with a listener from a member account or seek support through the forums or group support rooms. If you're in crisis, however, there are plenty of similar resources, such as imalive.org smiley

@Emily619 thanks for the advice Emily. I guess it's just been years of talking about it but none of it seems to matter when the pain is bad again. I appreciate you linking to that website. Seems helpful ^^
