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.

@creative_writer hoping the pain meds kick in soon.
Just sitting here watching a bit of tv with the cooler on. Quite hot here today.

@creative_writer I saw a meme once that was like 'adult life is like playing a video game where you skipped all the tutorials and are now just fumbling around trying to work out how to play.' I think adding trauma history to that is like playing the game on ultra-hard mode! 😓
Hope you can get swift results and don't end up having to play the waiting game too long. 🤞💜

@Snowieit’s warm here too, just lying in bed right now, still in pain, maybe the meds need to be taken consistently for a while, after all one box lasts 30 days.

Better can take a while, and it's usually not a straight line either @creative_writer . But I can see you're doing the work, I hope you see the benefits soon xx
