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.

Hi @creative_writer,
I sorry to read you are feeling this way. It sounds like a lonely place to be. It's sad to read that you don't feel truly safe around your family.
Do you have anyone that you can talk to about this? Is there someone you can be with today that you do feel safe with?
Warm wishes,
FloatingFeather

That must be really difficult to sit with @creative_writer. I really do hope that one day soon you do find that person that fully accepts, loves and validates you. It's a big wide world out there and from my experience when you least except it that's when they turn up.
Sending you lots of positive energy and hugs,
FloatingFeather

As someone that has lived a few decades @creative_writer there are two things I have really embraced in life. Firstly always hold on to hope and secondly you never really do know what tomorrow will bring.
You're not being needy at all - you just want what most people want love, acceptance and support free of conditions. I really hope you find that person that can be those things for you soon ❤️
