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 think I need scans @hanami. But I definitely need some stronger painkillers. I’m in a dark place already so I don’t need the pain as well.

How are you doing @creative_writer migraines can be so awful and disorienting. Are you OK? Take care of yourself 🌼

It’s a horrible feeling @creative_writer. I know it only too well. When my thoughts get dark at night I usually find that bed is the best place for me to be. Try and get some sleep. I hope for you that you wake up in a better place in the morning. Stay strong.
