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.

Sorry to be a little daft this arvo.... I'm confused @creative_writer ...
So you spoke to a MH clinician about your past trauma, and now you are freaking out? Have I got that right?

Hrmmmm... thank you for clarifying @creative_writer . Perhaps the mention of SA was only an assumption on they MH clinician's part?
If this is causing your stress, it's probably good to ask them to contact you to see if you can clarify things?
What do you think?

Would that be the reason life seems to be holding back? @creative_writer Only a thought though. It's important you tackle trauma when you are ready to.
