How do I say this as clearly as possible? Absofuckinglutely. Knowing I have a way out to use anytime I need helps keep me going daily. Having my SN has actually helped me cope when my bipolar flares up. Having the ability to nope out when I need to assists me to live life on my terms.

Hey Guest,
Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.
This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.
In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

If I had access to a definite and peaceful exit, I'd feel much calmer. However, knowing that it's incredibly difficult to ctb makes me feel uneasy.

Someday, I hope to see you in the light.

Having the option, and knowing that option will likely work, be painless & peaceful, brings hope. Since death is the ultimate finality of life, & humans have a natural SI, the thought of ending one's life in an uncertain & possibly painful manner is something that causes a lot of anxiety. Once someone knows of a method that alleviates that anxiety, that is when hope appears. One can finally focus on trying to make their life better (possibly), but at the very least s/he doesn't have to constantly worry about their chosen method causing issues. It leaves the mind open to do other things. Am I making sense?
At least for me, my anxiety about the "how" is gone. I no longer worry about the when. I'll do it when I'm ready. Could be a week or years from now, or maybe never. It also helps that I now have people I can talk to openly about all of this. It's been such an unbearably sad & anxious secret having to censor myself all my life about how I truly feel because the topic is too taboo or scares people. So, all of those things have affected my overall mental status.

Yes, it definitely does help knowing that there is an exit when things get too unbearable to live.
Whenever things get to the point of being unbearable, I begin researching exit methods and collecting the things necessary to make a final exit.
So yes, it's a relief during depression knowing that there is a way to exit and end the suffering.
