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.

Glad you are feeling a little better @creative_writer
Sorry to hear things are still rough. Am around for a bit if you need a chat or some company.

That might be a good thing to do @creative_writer, the Sane guided service.
It might give you a bit of direction.
I feel disconnected from people too.
I hope you are able to get in contact with the pdoc tomorrow. It is good however that you are reaching out for support.

Hey @creative_writer I would encourage you to have a look into the guided service. We have been getting positive feedback from our participants and any additional support is a good thing right? 😊

@creative_writer giving you a virtual hug 💜
I have a teddy that I hug. It gives me some comfort at times. Maybe something like that might help.

Let me know how you go with the guided service @creative_writer. I don’t seem to get a response. I’m guessing I haven’t been accepted
