I just woke up 40 minutes ago and started thinking about how invaluable this place has been to me during recent times and how disastrous it would be for my wellbeing if it shut down. I feel confident in saying that the banning of r/SanctionedSuicide probably drove at least one person to end it all.
I'd like to believe my usage of this forum is healthy overall. Participating here has served my mental health wonderfully. The lovely community, the recovery subforum, the comforting words I've received during my darkest times, the knowledge that I can trust the users here to keep me company on my last day if it comes down to that, etc. SS means the world to me. Simply feeling less alone and actually understood here has been healing to a tremendous degree. Nowhere and nobody else makes me feel like this.
