Hi friend, I am here to talk! I'm so happy that you aren't considering suicide. Surely, your life is so precious to God. Have you tried talking to Him? I will remember you in my prayers.

What is a typical day for you like?

I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort.
