Do your loved ones (friends included) know you're a member of this forum?

[Idontmatter]

My husband knows I'm suicidal but he doesn't know I'm on this forum.

 

[FuneralCry]

No. Nobody in real life knows that I want to die. It is nothing to do with anyone else, it is my life, my choice. They would not accept and understand my decision. I have been suicidal for many years. I will make sure that nobody will ever know. I am the type of person who keeps everything to myself anyway.

 

[Matcha vs Matcha]

Nope. But there wouldnt be any issue if so, theyre very open minded and know where my issues come from so they'd definitely understand.

 

[yive]

i have no friends, family doesn't need to know about this. although, i think they might guess that im suicidal, but that won't change anything. ctb is inevitable for me. my advice is never tell anyone about it, life is a prison, and suicide is a prison break

 

[Neowise]

Nobody knows except for one online friend who is also depressed and survived two attempts. I wouldn't mind telling a real life friend because she is also depressed, but other than that... I don't want anyone to know. My mother would use it to insult me, my boyfriend would worry too much. People don't need to know everything.

 

[_elliott]

lol, i talk about the forum a lot but none of my friends seem to care, i think they're tired of my constant suicidal stuff and it is embarrassing for them.

 

[Sprite_Geist]

No, because I do not have many people in my life to know about it.

 

[odradek]

No one in my life is aware of my membership on this forum... that I'm aware of. I'm often paranoid that they do know and are keeping it from me for some reason but I'm sure that's a delusion.

The few people in my life either aren't internet savvy enough to find a place like this or would not come across this particular corner of the web based on who they are.

 

[ascetic_]

No. They wouldn't care, either, except for my older sister.

 

[PeacefulTonic]

They don't even know this place exists. I think that's better for me

 

[meetapple]

No but I told my therapist and now I regret it.

 

[avoid_slow_death]

Hell no. Wait, my ex does. She wasn't happy about it when I told her, but, she doesn't yell at me about it. Just worried a lot. No idea if she does anymore. Doubt it.

 

[TriggerHappy]

Yeah.
They don't like it much... but fuck 'em.
They know I'm not easily influenced, but am possibly a bad influence...
They bitched about my online obsessiveness, but what shut them up is
When I told them I'm learning to perfect my methods.
They understood, I leave them no choice, arguments are mute.
Already the drugs leave me with an occasional tick /shudder
No way am I gonna be at their mercy when I get dementia / Parkinsons
(Have markers) im never gonna be that burden.
I got strangled by a client and got my windpipe crushed.
In icu they informed the staff not to give me pain meds.
My own fkg family told them to withhold treatment
I think they were freaked it was a sexgame gone bad.
then they make me surrender my rights, commit me to an asylum,
today they want me back on lithium.
that numbness, might as well be dead.
They have no idea who I am, what I need, or what to do with me
they understand but they dont like it...
They've left me to it, so I can get it right.

 

[Death is your gift]

They do not know about this place.

What would be the point ? They would not understand it.

Telling family, friends or therapists will only make them even more concerned about my situation. I am not sure if they can do it legally, but I do not want to be locked up in a psych ward for good.

 

[blueclover_.]

No. I want to limit the exposure of this forum to the general public. A lot of people are trying to take SS down, and I feel like I need to do my part to keep SS safe and that requires being quiet, which is a piece of cake because I hate most people.

 

[Hyd999]

No one knows. And I have no friends so. :/

Same

 

[Yiyo123]

My doctors know that I visit a website, but don't know the name. I told them because I trust them.

 

[VKVK]

I barely have loved ones. And no, they either wouldn't care or wouldn't be surprised.

 

[plough22]

No one knows, my job is built around helping people, managing alpha behaviour. They'd see weakness, a helpful place but you can show you need help. Go figure.
It's great having SS, no one else's business

 

[Grav]

My wife knows. She sounds wary but also relieved that there's somewhere that I can fit in with my thoughts.

 

[Dot]

No1. Evry1 thnk jst use Youtbe.

He was so happy the last few weeks he was with us, we are sure that he was influenced by outside sources towards the end. We think that he may have enlisted technical & emotional assistance from terrible online sources known as suicide forums. ​

No note was left or communication entered into.​

[samras]

No one knows and I don't intend to tell anyone. I regard this site as a safe private space.

 

[stygal]

My mom knows it and she's fine with it.

Other rl friends - since we don't talk about mental health a whole lot or I feel the need to bring every little detail of my life into the conversation - it never came up, would talk about it openly tho.

Not even afraid to open the site in public.

And I recommend this site to an ex as well but his relationship is better now so I don't think he's here.

 

[Sarros]

I always told myself that I'd never open up because anyone/anything could compromise my plans. Then I got drunk at a wedding afterparty and told the bride's sister about this place and then the bride herself about my plans to CTB while throwing up, hunched over the toilet. Yikes.

Poor polar bear! Why didn't he leave a suicide note?

 

[8evergo]

is like black market who knows where it knows no one else knows

 

[Apathy's Girl]

My husband and psychiatrist know.

 

[Dear Agony]

No. No one around me could be considered anywhere near "pro choice" when it comes to suicide. I'm sure if anyone knew I would be in a psych ward by now. My mom knows I have suicidal thoughts and I'm sure some other people that I know do too, but they have no idea about the depth of the thoughts/think it's something from like years ago and I don't think about it now anymore.

 

[finalexit]

My wife knows. I might've told my one friend, can't remember
