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.

@creative_writer hope you are making some progress. You didn't see my last post as I made an error and wrote a drug in it.
Basically all I am waiting for now is to become a cripple.
Spine is shot and nothing anyone can do so as I said to tuxedocat I will organise myself from here and I most likely won't be posting anymore.
I wish you all the best with uni and your pain and I sincerely hope you don't have to suffer for as long as ive had too.
Thanks for your support bye

Hey @Former-Member,
I have just read up on some of your posts. Sorry to hear that you are in so much pain. Extensive and long-lasting pain can create a world of hurt across so many areas.
I do hope to see you post more on the forums, I have just started with Sane and look forward to getting to know you a bit better Xx

Afternoon @creative_writer
Well-being, community and belonging is a great research space. These three elements of children’s lives have become very popular over the years. I think that with the use of technology, a lot of children have missed opportunity to connect in these ways.
how was your day?

Oh @creative_writer 💔,
Firstly, sending BIG hugs 🤗. I am a Mum and have had that complaint from my girls too. Sometimes it is not helpful, even if it is coming from a good place. Keep just doing what you can, pressure is never helpful when there is a timeframe.
Secondly, the added stress of your flashbacks will not be helping. Flashbacks are rotten 😓
I use this link to help me regulate and refocus. I can do this with you now if you like??

Sometimes it can be hard to know how to help others. And yes, planning to make sure you take care of yourself sounds like a good plan ❤️.
Sometimes I do that breathing exercise every 10mins when I am anxious. Is this due on Monday? @creative_writer
