Discussion Do you feel guilty posting here?

[Suidice]

I like this forum, it brings me comfort and understanding, but i also feel really guilty posting here since my discussions can be used by other people to help them commit suicide. Do you feel the same way?

I feel guilty too, but it's the only place I can speak truly without judgement

I don't feel guilty. In fact, most of the purpose of this account is to help others.

Why should I feel guilty? I'm not doing anything bad to anyone. I'm very happy to have found this place. The people here are so nice and understanding and non-judgmental.

What shocked me is the fact that on youtube this forum was presented as the most toxic place on the internet. Which is thankfully not true at all.
(Tantacrul's video about this forum said that)

This forum steered me away from a very violent method and this method would have traumatized my parents greatly.

It's a conflicting feeling. Especially since we have "multiple opinions" due to having DID. So we sort of made some general rules for ourselves:

• We cannot comment on people's methods unless it is to tell them if it won't work/will be painful.
• We cannot reply to active goodbye threads except to say things like "whatever you choose, we hope you find peace"
• We cannot try to publicly workshop new methods on here.

A few more too. We have major issues with Moral OCD and guilt, so if we thought we caused someone to CTB in a potentially dangerous and/or regrettable way, it would probably drive us to CTB too. These are sort of... safety boundaries.

I don't feel guilty posting it actually is nice to speak freely about things without judgement or criticism. If someone's truly suicidal they're going to be seeking out any information to successfully do it no matter what there's more to the internet than SaSu plus it's not a pro suicide forum nothing I've seen posted has ever been harmful only informative no one's pushing anyone to do anything here

someone thats going to commit suicide is going to do it regardless of whether you or i post here or not

yup, the feeling is there. It hit me even harder when I've seen the members to guests ratio, I feel like I shouldn't be here. I don't feel like I'm doing something wrong, but I feel guilt, the heavy sinking feeling in your chest. People often conflate the two, but for me, those are 2 separate things.

Maybe it's because of the heavy content on here. Reading a thread documenting someones CTB while piecing together just how it was witnessed is something... different.

I feel guilty that I able to come back. I get the information I need here and form a plan then something stops aka car won't start, gun jammed, or do everything right and wake up 3 days later vomiting. I wish life didn't hate me so much.
