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’m sorry it’s so tough for you right now @creative_writer and I hope you don’t have to wait too long to get the right pdoc. It’s super hard not having the right support.
Your existence does matter but I know what it’s like to feel worthless so I am hearing you.
I’m still at work but I can chat for a while.
Sending hugs
🫂🤗🫂

I’m so sorry @creative_writer please stay safe.
Can you do some self care? I have a box of poems and photos to look at to try and lift my mood. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn’t.
Please stay safe 💜

@Eve7I can keep trying self care and maybe focus on keeping safe for now as opposed to the rest of the day. I think the physical pain hasn’t been helping. I think the acidity is causing pain in my stomach. So started taking antacids. And I’ve been getting headaches with the stomach pain, it’s weird. It’s an iffy combination along with MI. I’ve been feeling so weak and at times lightheaded too. I do at least have a doc appointment after the weekend.

@Eve7it’s hard. I hate my mind has thought of ways that I could end my life. Right now, I just need to stay away from whatever I could use, there is a reason why my parents keep it.
