N has an 10/10 efficacy rating on the PPH. If that isn't "worth the risk" for you, I think you're in the wrong place. And I'm well aware that my comment sounds aggressive, but you can't escape this BS on here, it's everywhere. It's not about people having doubts about *dying*, I'd understand that. It's that they phrase it in a way that casts doubts on the method, which is completely unwarranted and spreads misinformation.
If those people would simply say "I'm not sure if I really want to die" nobody would react aggressively. Nobody would judge it. It's normal to have doubts, it's normal to have suicidal ideation when you're depressed. It's normal that just bc you feel like you want to die, you don't actually want to die and that it's a way to cope and gain control over your life. Everybody would understand and be empathetic and show alternatives. But no, instead of simply being honest to themselves, they pull this exhausting charade and dozens of threads and posts and spread fears and misinformation and just out right lies and screw with facts.
Suffering is one thing, doing all that is quite another.
I think you're right. But in the end "suffering" and doing "all that" are not separate, but there's a relation of cause-effect between them. They don't do all that on purpose, to annoy others.
Secondly, the threads are separate for methods, stories, venting, etc. Ana didn't post that on a methods thread, but on venting, although she was talking about a method.
Earlier you said the risk of vomiting N is 2 cases in 21. This means it's a 10% risk of vomiting it.
Now, you say N's efficacy is 10/10.
See? Didn't you post missleading, or at least confusing information? Just like you said about Ana?
And yes, I'm aware that vomiting risk and N's efficacy are different things. But if the risk of puking it is 10%, you must agree its efficacy can't be 100%, because when one throws it up, a good amount of the lethal dose is gone and it' not absorbed anymore into the body. That increases the risk of failure.
I'm not in the wrong place if I question the efficacy of a method. I'm nere to learn about methods, to compare studies, evidence, testimonies, opinions.... and to make my own conclusion in taking my own decision, my own choice. The studies and the evidence are very good and elaborate, yet tey're not infallible. PPH documented legal cases like those of Exit international and Dignitas, where the N is different from the veterinary liquid. So the symptoms, side effects and risks are different.
SS is designed for the suffering people. It is the LAST place one can come to before dying.
I know one cannot escape BS here because it's everywhere.But everyone here SHOULD escape BS especially here, because thjs is the last place, the safe heaven where the most desperate peop,e come to.
This isn't meant to be a place just for informal discussions.
This is not a science only website. Those discussions don't spread fears and misinformation, but they spread opinions, personal thoughts, doubts, anxieties, and they are begging for acceptance, support, understanding, comfort, encouragement, kindness, etc.
SS is magnificent and wonderful only because it is so, so unique and different from any other places like social media.
SS must remain unique and different, and free of all the bullshit present in all the other places.
The real suicidal people in here, who truly want to ctb, who truly seek moral support, or who are desperate to find any support here, don't have the time and attention to observe critical things like you pointed out, they don't feel interested or affected in any way by other people's comments, and they don't feel a need to comment on such things, like how SS threads should be or not to be.
The real people in need here never say the kind of stuff you said.
