Dismantling the allegation that we're pro-suicide.

[nohopenofuture31]

I love the way you worded that this is pro-choice. And not to get political, but this is exactly the same argument I make for those who are pro-choice on the other big body autonomy issue. No one wants to have to do it, and people will do it anyway (just not safely) if it's banned. This forum is so loving and supportive of people period. just having a place to come where others understand what you're feeling and won't just tell you to pick yourself up and drudge on is helpful. I've been here a very short time but have never seen anyone encourage someone to CTB. I've just seen support and advice on how to be safer

Who cares? It's good to be pro-suicide.

When I first heard of this site, I was concerned it was destined to be a.s.h 2.0. And though I've been absent for the past few months, everytime I've experienced an extreme pro-suicider, or suicide bullying/encouragement it's been swiftly handled by mods. Unlike a.s.h the moderation from this forum has been nothing but above and beyond(big shoutout to DOT). I truly hope this media push that SaSu is a pro-suicide cult ceases, as losing this website will surely cause more harm, at least in short term(likely long term too since it's not like people won't find other similar and potentially worse avenues).

Thank you Rain and the other moderators for having to put up with all this bullshit. I'm sorry this is added to your guys already full plate. But just know you guys do a wonderful job and provide a haven of hope and compassion for those who have been devoid of both for so long. We appreciate you more than you could ever imagine <3.

Idk if it's necessarily good to be pro-suicide. I think what you're trying to convey is it's good to be anti-suffering, which suicide can be seen as the end all method of which. Pro-choice is preferable. Humans are uniquely different, and so forcing opposing or extreme beliefs are dangerous and harmful. In the same way anti sasu Pro-lifers are disapproved because they are forcing their ideologies in attempt to remove SaSu, so to can pro-suiciders, who might inadvertently cause harm to someone who might not be fully committed or sure of their actions.

Sorry for posting here so long after last message, but for me this site is not about pro-suicide or pro-life. It's a site about people that are tired to the core of their mind and soul. I've spent half my(42M) life battling this. 24 medications and 20 ECT-treatments.
I'm worse off than when I started. I'm on medication that I know are heavily additive(written out by my GP), and I just don't have anything more to give. Even my own parents say they would understand if I CTB.

It all comes down to the trauma I'd cause my young(8-years old) son..

Yeah based on my short time on these forums, I have yet to seen a pro suicide poster.

When someone wishes to CTB, wishing them peace and that its painless is being pro choice. A lot of people confuse that with being pro suicide when in reality, we are letting them make their own choice

Same here. Respecting people's choice because you can relate to them is not being pro suicide. There probably are some bad apples here like in any online community but I have yet to see them.

I'm not really pro-suicide, but I'm pro choice, I love it when people get better, I just want people to have the choice to do so, but many don't have the option to do so.

I agree. I come here at my worst and it makes me feel more in control and that I have a choice which helps me to go on a little longer.

ME TOO. I hope you will sort everything out quickly and won't have to come here. I wish you only solutions and a happy life
