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.

Hi @Loz_3647 ,
I'm sorry you feel that way. As much as I want to take the pain away from you, I can't.
It seems to be a journey for you to take. I've been in that place. It wasn't pleasant. I wasn't happy in it. But I survived.
I've survived to tell the story. I did not give up on supports. I fought the pain. Many times, I also wanted to give up, thinking I was fighting a losing battle.
Today, I can now declare that things have changed. It's not the 'perfect' world, but I'm surviving and thriving.
We can walk with you and sit with you, but we cannot do the work for you.
I hope you'll continue to find that inner strength in you and give yourself the permission to survive and thrive.

Hey @creative_writer ,
Just read what you posted. Do you think it's also a cultural thing?
