I m not suicidal but every night I go to bed I just wish I wouldn t wake up... there s more but I just done know how to explain it all, basically I m always having panic attacks before doing anything and no energy motivation to do anything that needs to be done... I m always on edge and can t focus on anything just dreading responsibility and overall miserable
