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, sometimes strategies that keep us from harm can do that, but feeling low can be hard to lift, even with the strategies. You're doing what you need to now in keeping safe and that is very brave @creative_writer 💓

Hey @creative_writer,
Those are some pretty big feelings. I would miss you for sure. And you are doing a social work course. You are literally studying to help the world - you are worthy and although you don't feel it, you are kicking butt! And that butt is hard, but you're here and you're doing it 💓
Sitting with you tonight Xx

Well don't let that discourage you @creative_writer, if you need it call, and then if you don't like it hang up. It's all about you 💓
Maybe time for tea and a guided mediation?
