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.

I hear you @creative_writer and it is very hard to sit with shame but please remind yourself that you were not the perpetrator and it’s not your shame to carry.
Here with you tonight 💚🤗💚

I can understand that feeling too @creative_writer as I often feel I’m becoming too reliant and need to use more strategies myself but if the help is available it’s good to use it.
