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.

It can be tiring telling our history again and again @creative_writer
Hopefully you don't have to go through it for your sake.

@creative_writer When I am sitting and waiting to see one of my supports from community mh, I often see ‘walk-ins’ come in and ask to speak to someone. It couldn’t hurt to go and ask maybe?

That is understandable that you only want them to know what you are comfortable with @creative_writer
As you feel more comfortable with them, hopefully you can open up to them more.
I hope for your sake that the appointment tomorrow helps in many positive ways.
