do people you know personally know you're here?

[maidens]

personally, a lot of my online friends (at least the semi-close and the close ones) know I use this forum, but nobody irl. it's because I really don't care if people online find out, but I know many of you probably feel otherwise, which is understandable! I'm just curious.

 

[Celerity]

Wow, I'm honestly shocked that the number is so high. How does the topic even come up in conversation?

 

[Undertow Mermaid]

I told three of my online friends, one of them had attempted to ctb before and he said forums like these made him worse but he didn't say much more on it. My other two friends told me to stop visiting and said it was cringe.

 

[AAT]

No, have not told anybody. Would not be wise to tell while planning to ctb.

 

[donehere24]

I haven't even told anyone that I'm planning to ctb, much less use this site. You could say I'm living a double life

 

[Forever Sleep]

Only one friend because they are suicidal too- so, I thought they'd understand. I tell my Dad that I chat on forums but I keep it vague and say it's about philosophy/big life stuff- true really.

 

[just_a_guy]

Not sure how this would come up organically, unless you're waiting at a bus stop, "you know, speaking of catching the bus, did I tell you that I'm a member on a site that let's you talk about suicide and suicide methods freely?" "No, you didn't, do you want to get McDonalds or Burger King?"

 

[todeswunsch]

My ex and both my therapist and psychiatric knows about the forum. My ex used to used it too.
They are currently my support line and I trust them enough.
Most people that I know IRL knows that I'm suicidal, even in the workplace, so its no surprise anyway.
I am pretty open about what I think, for better of for worse

 

[marypary1234]

No, I have not told anybody. If they knew they would try to stop me.

Yikes at these friends tbh.. commenting a topic like this with "cringe" shows these friends are immature and/or very young..

 

[Spiritual survivor]

My friend I stay with, he's also expressed his suicidality to me constantly. He once had an account but he doesn't get on here now I don't think.

 

[FuneralCry]

No. It's nothing to do with anyone else as well.

 

[movinout17]

Yes, my parents know. Two weeks ago I ended up telling my dad, my main support, about it when I I had a nervous break after smoking weed.

I'm usually 70% suicidal, so the 30% SI part of me which is afraid of death, is paranoid, and cares about my family just freaked out. My mind was paranoid that week.

Now I'm obligated to go to inpatient soon, and I turned over my SN to my parents because I had to confess out of guilt and paranoia that I ordered it.

I have since opened a P.O. Box and ordered sn again.

 

[Kit1]

No. Only my therapist and she doesn't know the name of the site.

I have a Discord server for my friends and everyone has their own respective channels including myself, I very very occasionally vaguely talk about this forum and sometimes they ask the name.

Since me and my partner share a room, it came up when they looked over my shoulder and asked about it

 

[ForeverBroken]

No one in my family knows but I've mentioned it to my counselor. She knows I come here but not the name of the site.

 

[Scythe]

One single online friend who seems like they could do with some help from a different prespective and a change of pace from the usual bullshit advice.

 

[loopdaloop]

No. most people don't really get it or don't want to get it, they see it as a cry for help and not a genuine discussion. But back in the psych ward I did briefly talk about this site with a psych student who was volunteering there and talking 1 on 1 with patients for his degree, and honestly he was kinda chill about it and didn't care which was refreshing (but maybe he took it lightly because I was already in a mental institute, so he expected me to say stuff like that)

 

[sick.faery]

hell no or else rn i'd be locked up in a psych ward somewhere

 

[Penquinman]

Nah they wouldn't take it well and I wouldn't want to make people more worried about me.

 

[NeedAnEscape]

No, nobody knows that I use this site. I would get hospitalized immediately.

 

[Blackpepperpancake]

No, as I viewed sasu as a normal forum site, I did mention a bit to my close friends but they have no idea what's the name of the site is.

If I make it a big deal, I'm afraid it would go south, so I'm trying to act like it is normal, maybe it actually is, maybe not.

One of my online friends literally tracked down my irl to talk to him by only knowing my first name, my irl's first name, and my university. Creepy shit.

On the other end, I was able to figure out an online friend's exact address by only knowing their parent's occupation and their Spotify profile. So be careful out there haha.

My irls are suicidal

 

[Sprite_Geist]

No, and I want to keep it this way. Sanctioned Suicide is one of the only places where I am given (at least) an illusion of privacy and secrecy.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

No.

Nobody irl / outside the SS community knows that I'm here.

 

[PandaBe]

No nobody I don't know how they'd react I don't think anyone I k ow irl thinks a site like this exists.

 

[Unsure and Useless]

I can't keep a secret to save my life, so my presence on this website has slipped into conversation with friends on rare occasions. How? I have no idea.

I brushed it off as me being my usual curious self that eventually deleted my account when, obviously, this is not the case.

They think that this website is a suicide cult, and they used to joke about how "Marigold joined a suicide cult 'cause she was curious" lol

Fortunately, they don't know the name of this site.
