TW suicide

So apparently this is complicated grief. Currently receiving extra support because of the strong urge to surrender the visitor cat and end my life. And the contamination ocd is going crazy.

Seeking help, waiting on grief counseling, bag packed in case of hospital stay, considering a dose of antidepressants that would aid mood, yada yada.

This sucks.

so many hugs

Is there anything we could do? Would you like a visit?

Thanks, I’m hoping I’ll be ok.

Honestly: Thankyou for helping yourself. You've given so much help to others and I'm not really sure what to say but I love your presence here and would hate to lose it. Socially awkward of me and I'm not a real huggy person, but I'd offer you one of my awkward A-frame hugs if I was there.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way :(( it's very very shit and it breaks my heart

I know I probably I couldn't say or do something to help much, but just know that selfishly, I think you are an incredible person and would hate to lose you on here. You deserve a life as wonderful as you are. Hope things start looking up soon. Glad you're taking some steps that can help <3

Please stay safe.
