@CherryBomb, @Former-Member or any other @Former-Member floating around Forum Land, will you ride a wave with me? I thought I would be fine doing something...but it turns out that the something has made my big feelings BIG and now I'm in a pickle...and there's nothing worse than a pickled turtle! I'm going to go and snuggle in my bed so I probably won't actually respond to you, but it will still super help me to know that I am not utterly alone on the wave. I don't want to tag anyone else because I don't want anyone to feel they need to respond. Thank you in advance for riding with me.
@Catcakes Yeah, you'd think that, but I've been told otherwise in no uncertain terms. That is the thing that is fuelling the overwhelming suicidal ideation. I'm going to step away from the computer now before my lizard brain makes my muddle more muddled. Super big thank you for caring though.

Re: Riding a wave
Sorry 😞 @Phoenix_Rising Didn’t mean to teach your lizard to suck eggs I do get it though I am similarly stuck.

Re: Riding a wave
I am in my car and I am ultra struggling. I have been reaching out for help all day and no one has heard. I don't know how to keep living with the bigness of the wrongness of the wrong. I am trying so hard but it just keeps going and going and no one has heard. Please please please hear me.

Re: Riding a wave
I hear you @Phoenix_Rising and there are many others here who do too. I know you're struggling with the bigness. I can feel it and hear it and understand it. I am sitting with you, wishing there was more 😞

Re: Riding a wave
@Phoenix_Rising - I hear you, and I'm sorry things are so invalidating for you. You are such a valuable human being, despite the feelings you have that you feel you're not. I so like your intelligence, humour and warmth.

Re: Riding a wave
How could they do this much harm @CheerBear? How COULD they? I so badly want to die right now. TTT said they aren't worth suiciding over but this is so so so so so hard. I feel utterly utterly worthless and hopeless.

Re: Riding a wave
I don't know @Phoenix_Rising but I know this is not worth suiciding over. You are worth more than that. I get it is so so SO hard right now. I truly do. I am so sorry things are so hard.

Re: Riding a wave
I am so utterly alone with this mess @CheerBear. There is nowhere else for me to reach out for support. How could they do this much harm? How COULD they???
