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 can understand not wanting others to know @creative_writer I try and keep a lot from my hubby so he won't worry about me. Sometimes it works but other times he just worries more.
I guess you have a choice on what to tell them. After all, it is your MH and your choice.
I will say goodnight now. Have taken prn so am going to climb into bed. I hope you get some sleep tonight and tomorrow is a good day for you. Thanks for keeping me company. It has helped me stay present.

I get those thoughts @creative_writer They are very hard to get rid of at times.
I hope you have been able to do something nice for yourself today.

Ohhh I love mangoes @creative_writer Probably one of my favourite fruits.
I went to office works and then shoe shopping for my kids. They should now be ready for when they go back to school at the end of this month.

We have a strawberry farm near where I live @creative_writer They are so nice and so much tastier then the ones you get from the supermarket. You can go and pick them yourself too.
It is nice that you have a break from uni. Hopefully you can recharge your batteries.
Any plans for tomorrow?
