But, there's a whole "Recovery" section of the site for pro-lifers. Personally, I'm finding comfort in knowing that there are people to talk to who understand what I'm about to do. They understand the emotional rollercoaster of this. What I'm about to do is NOT easy. I'm scared. The people here (mostly) understand that. I don't need to be "cheered up". I'm not in a "dark place." I don't need to "saved." Not that I would encourage someone else to commit suicide, but if someone is serious about it, then they should have a space for support that helps them while they prepare their minds and spirits for the escape.
Pro-lifers don't get that. They come on here and keep trying to push hopeless hope on people. I mean, I'm not faulting them for wanting to help people they see as needing help. Especially if their genuine in their efforts. But, pro-lifers hear and don't listen. They'll start a conversation and just wait for an opportunity to push a narrative that someone who is serious doesn't want to hear. See, some of what annoys me about a pro-lifer is that they think they know "a solution to my problem." To them, life is by default a positive. So, even trying to explain why I'm doing it falls on deaf ears, because this person is just trying to wait for an opportunity to throw some motivational platitude at me in an attempt to make me second guess my own experiences. As if my trauma is lying to me. Or I'm looking at it all wrong. They do this without any attempt to understand me.
The beauty of this part of the site is that I'm among people who understand the mindset and the spiritual aspect of this. So, someone trying to push hope on this side of the site seems a bit disingenuous and superficial. And some people just find it annoying. Furthermore, to come here and then try to use "pro-choice" to push a pro-life narrative is a bit insensitive and deceptive.
Just my opinion.
