I have been struggling a lot lately with suicidal thoughts. It’s become a daily occurrence and it’s been really overwhelming to cope. I am safe right but having to fight this is very exhausting. I feel so trapped, I am tired of living in pain, fear and shame. I feel like a burden to people and unimportant.

@creative_writer I'm sorry things felt so bad tonight. Thank you for telling me that you're ok now.
If it's ok, I might send you an email tomorrow. Not about your immediate safety, but just about how we can support you at the moment, given things are extra tough. Is that ok?

@creative_writer, sorry to hear you're feeling this? Depression brain is a powerful thing!
For me, it took a lot to change thoughts I had similar to these. I still have them sometimes ❤️ I found it useful to think about things that happened in real like which proved these thoughts wrong. Not sure if that could be useful?
What are you getting up to today?
