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 hear you. It sounds like a really hard and difficult place to be ❤️
All I can say is that it is hard, but it will pass. Just a few years ago, after going through some similar things to you, I was left with very few friends. I had just left an abusive relationship, during which I only knew my partners friends. Because of the way my ex had treated me, I did feel worthless. I had no idea what I enjoyed doing and I had to learn how to make friends. But looking back now, I have come so far.
I see you doing similar things to me like therapy and reaching out here for support. I can't fix this, but I have a lot of hope for you that things will get better and they will change ❤️
