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.

Being around your mum must certainly have tested the resilience that you've developed @Captain24. But you did it... and even managed to enjoy some moments of sunshine and beach, by the sounds of it. Maybe that means you've come a long way already.
Is Pixie with you on holiday?

I have enjoyed the holiday just not the company. @Former-Member but it does show me how much I’ve grown.
Yes Pixie is with me. She is currently asleep on my bed.

Sitting with you @creative_writer 🌻
Well done for reaching out when you need to, even if it doesn't always do as we hope.
Do you have any plans for your day today? Even something small.
