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.
@FloatingFeather my body feels like it weighs a tonne and feels really uncomfortable. Just need to keep reminding myself that I’m okay and breathe in and out ❤️

Re: Struggling: TW suicide
@FloatingFeather I should really be more mindful of my triggers because now I am having physical sensations.
@Former-Member I managed to sleep okay, woke up groggy but that’s just how it works for me.

Re: Struggling: TW suicide
Waking up groggy can put your whole day out. I saw that you were not feeling good earlier, how are you now? Did you reach out to one of the trauma helplines @creative_writer?
I am here all night if you want to chat xx

Re: Struggling: TW suicide
@Former-Member I wake up groggy everyday even with enough sleep which isn’t great but yes it does make it harder to get out of bed. I didn’t reach out to one of the trauma helplines, maybe I should have, a part of my brain was fighting itself by saying it wasn’t traumatic enough but it was traumatic. I guess sometimes we prefer to deny things because accepting it can be painful. I did speak to my peer support worker today though, I was feeling alright then I spiralled later on.

Re: Struggling: TW suicide
Feeling a bit better after reaching out to a helpline. Flashbacks are never easy and I can’t believe I didn’t realise I was triggered until much after being exposed to that content.

I'm completely freaking out. When will I get out of this cycle?
