Did this site made you choose suicide?

[dogemn]

After finding out about all the resources from this site, were you more willing to CTB?

 

[GettingOut]

No, I have had suicidal thoughts as a small child due to what happened to me. In fact, this site has helped think more rationally about suicide and take other's feelings into consideration.

 

[unsaiddes]

This site has made me more comfortable with my suicidality and taught me a lot/influenced my plan, but the urges have been there for a very long time. I found my way here through the viral YouTube video that shall not be named, and instead of being appalled by what I was hearing, my immediate thoughts were "Wait, I'm not totally insane? There are others who feel the same and there's a place for them to be honest about it and build community? Sign me up."

I don't think anyone can choose suicide due to a website. Suicide is a serious decision after all. The opposite is probably makes more sense: suicidal people choose to seek out for site like these for methods, vent, empathy from others ect.

No!!!


It's the shittyness of life that makes me choose suicide. I have wanted to die since my early teens.
Life has just reinforced my desire to CTB.

 

[TheSource]

Honestly, can this thread be a sticky thread, Mods? Since the site is visible to the public, it'd be nice for the public to see that it doesn't really increase the chance of suicide.

I am more at peace knowing about methods and actually less likely to do it impulsively because I now know how hard ctb is. But I already tried to commit long before I joined here so I don't think this site has influenced how suicidal I am.

 

[tiredone]

I first attempted at age 8 or 9.
And had few more after.
Found this site over year ago, in very bad time for me.
This place help me, stop, rethink, research, learn.
This site extended my life by at least 10 months so far, and has always been irreplaceable, when the darkest thoughts come.
Tldr: no. Over 30 years suicidal before finding this site.
It saves lives.

 

[SpencerSees]

Absolutely! This site was like my glimmer of hope after countless pathetic attempts that didn't even put me in the hospital. Now i'm older and wiser and know how to do it without ending up as a vegetable!

 

[ClownWorld2023]

This website did not make me choose suicide. That choice was taken a long time ago.

But now I finally have a reliable method of doing it.

 

[Duality]

No, I already made a serious attempt long before this site existed. Unfortunately I was unlucky and ended up in, what seemed like to me, a long hospital stay.

I have found comfort in the amount of resources available on the site, plus being able to openly discuss these topics with others. It's great not needing to look behind your shoulder constantly, wondering if your friends or family will call 911.

 

[backtoearth]

weirdly it's kept me alive longer, knowing i have the resources and knowledge ready makes it easier to go to sleep at night and try the next day. it's comforting to know i have a way out when i need it

 

[Old Friend]

I found this site because I was suicidal. The site's not made me any worse. If anything, it's made me appreciate that I don't have to put up with some of the shit others on here have to.

 

[Tokugawa_Yoshinobu]

No, I was suicidal before. This site just reassured me and I saw that my feelings are not something to be ashamed of. That wanting to die can be a perfectly rational decision. It's relief to talk about the burning desire inside that drives me to wanting to spill my own blood... okay that was a bit too poetic, now wasn't it?

But that is it and that is what it is.

 

[haibane]

Well actually, if i didn't founded this site i would probably be dead way earlier. Knowing that there's people thinking the same way as me and that i can hypothetically ctb at any moment if i really can't handle it anymore is really reassuring imo.

 

[hermestrimegistus]

No. If anything this website has made me alarmingly aware of all the ways I could fuck up an attempt. Though it has shifted my thoughts towards partial suspension rather than previously considered methods

 

[ddn.ctb]

No it didn't make me suicidal but it helped me choose my preferred method and how to do it the most efficiently

 

[Scythe]

While I am dead set on dying now as compared to when I first joined the site. I do not believe this is the site's fault. I think whether I found this site or not, I would have downward spiraled as I have currently. This site's just been a place to speak my true feelings, look at pholisophy stuff, and shit on society.

 

[brokeandbroken]

Being suicidal made me seek out this site. It gave me a community when I was abandoned. People to talk to when the world wouldn't. People to care from afar when the world doesn't. I understand this site scares people. But... the world has failed each and everyone here. The world failed and we wound up here. The world is to blame not those of us paying the consequences for the laziness, apathy, and disdain we have received.

 

[wheezle42]

Of course not. I've been suffering since I can remember.

 

[bigdipper420]

This site gave me bit of hope to avoid a failed attempt but i was always suicidal

 

[colorlesshue]

it was going to wind up happening anyways, so i'm neutral on it. HOWEVER i treat this more like a social media forum sometimes to be honest </3

 

[Epikur]

not at all. on the contrary, it puts my thoughts out into more order so as to plan my cbt thoroughly ....

 

[Don’tDoxMe]

No, I only heard of this site this week and I had my 6th attempt on Saturday night

 

[thot88]

Did not get. It would have been ahead anyway. My method would have been very violent without this site. Here I found painless and neat ways.

 

[ManByTheRiver]

No. I've had the method, the means and the will for years now, I just haven't been willing to give up yet. I will keep fighting.

 

[SilentSuicidal]

I've been suicidal for years, this site is really the only place I can talk about it without anyone faking concern or just plain out censorship of the topic.

 

[movinout17]

No, I've been suicidal for years since a teen, on and off. But lately, sasu does make me more suicidal, because misery loves company, and I doomscroll because it's what I want to do.
There's nothing else I'm interested in unfortunately.

 

[hellispink]

No one is truly here just because. We all had circumstances that led to us wanting to die. I was 11 when i first wanted to die. That was a lot a lot of years ago.

 

[IWishToDie]

Nah, I'd had suicide in the back of my mind for over ten years for sure. Would have figured out SN from PPHandbook eventually, though I wouldn't have known it was superior to Azide. This place is a blessing but it's not what started the curse.

 

[leavingthesoultrap]

No. My failure at life did.
Thats what pro lifers think. That someone who is just sad stumbles upon this site and then they ctb.
