So for the past 2+ months (I think it's two months, but it may have been longer and I just don't remember) I've been incredibly withdrawn, because I've been struggling with suicidal depression so a magnitude which has left be barely able to function at any level beyond the absolute minimum. I'm not a risk to myself, so please don't worry. I think I'm coming out the other side right now - which I said a little while ago, but that turned out to be a bubble, and today this time felt like a bubble that had burst too. I still feel like absolute shit, but I can feel things other than a desire to be dead now so hopefully it'll stick.

I still feel like a burden and like I'm just in the way of everyone else's lives and taking up space and empty, but it's not as all-consuming as it was which is definitely a step up.

You are not a burden..you are a miraculous piece of this universe just in being a Human Being馃 You have wants and likes just like anyone else and deserve to be here. I just read a book that truly helped me because I often feel I don't deserve to take up space or say my views to people etc. It was called "Untamed" by Glennon Doyle. She says we need to stand in our humanity and take up space!!! To say what we need or feel...to have all our emotions and KNOW WE HAVE A RIGHT TO ALL OF THEM. It was a great book. You got this Dan and we are here for you. 馃尀馃悶

@Coralmist this is such a beautiful message for Dan and for the rest of us.. I'll add that to my reading list and hopefully I'll get to it once timing is right..
