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.

@SnowieI feel like it’s been harder this year than last. I hope next year is a better one. I’ve been a mess since mid year. I may have people around me, but I feel all alone in this. I don’t understand my mind, I don’t. It’s so confusing. I don’t know why it hurts so much. I hadn’t felt so broken for years, the past few months have been harder. I’ve had to get extra help. My mood has been more unstable and I’ve had more awful flashbacks. When will it get better? 😢

Sorry to hear things have been so hard for you @creative_writer
I don't know when it will get better. All you can do is take it day by day.
You are showing how much courage and bravery you have just by getting extra help.

It’s hard being alone @creative_writer Sometimes I feel really alone when I’m surrounded by people.
