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.

Hey @creative_writer - I remember my days of study. I sat in front of a blank screen for ages! However, once the words start, they just flow....I hope this happens for you.
Do you think the pressure of this assignment has affect your MH today?
As for my day, it was pretty okay. I wasn't feeling that well so I had to have a rest. I feel better now. I thought it was COVID, but it wasn't.

Hearing you. I absolutely know what it is to have the continuous stress and pressure of having to meet an assignment deadline. It's not until I have submitted it that I realise the stress causes me to lose sleep, get agitated and frustrated @creative_writer .
Will a good rest let you think better tomorrow?

I wasn't feeling great so I didn't eat anything today. So when I came home, I had some fruit salad. I also had a chicken kiev and salad in the arvo.
As for dinner, I think I'll be okay without. I seem to still have pains in my bones.... so strange...
I also made 2 extra chicken kievs and a pork and apple sausage roll.......it was supposed to be for tomorrow. Then after school, by niece and nephew came and ate it all....
Oh well, you gotta love em! @creative_writer
