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 @creative_writer I'm sorry to hear that. It must be hard to sit with those feelings. Have you reached out to anyone outside of the forums for support?
Here with you 💝

@Paperdaisy ❤️ I think a somatic flashback was triggered. It just happened tonight so I haven’t spoken about it yet. Not ready to yet, need some time to process.
