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.

Yes it is good to have this site and yes I too feel better away from people and it does get lonely at times.
I'm lucky I have a little dog that is my best mate maybe a pet would be good for you if you are so inclined.

Makes sense @creative_writer . That was my life a few years back. I lived on the extremes. When things were good, they were very very good, and when things were bad, they were terrible.
I'm slowly working my way out of this way of living...but it takes time.

This is probably a silly question, but you've seen a professional in the past, right? @creative_writer . Anything come of it?
