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.

Wow, that's a great outlet @creative_writer - words are powerful. Even when examining some of the classical literature, I am always in awe at how they use words to gain power, meaning and understanding.
If you like poetry, does that mean you also like music?

Finished your assignment yet @creative_writer ?
I was supposedly 'sick' this morning and thought I'd stay home and rest. In the end, I washed three cars, did the gardening, cleaning the pool, did 3 loads of washing..... my throat is shockingly swollen, but at least I feel accomplished today.

A shower for you sounds like a good idea @creative_writer . Readings do take a while in the beginning, and that's the bulk of your research? Hopefully the words flow after that.
