My own circumstances are such that, for personal commitments to caring for a partner, I am not able to ctb just now. Although I have attempted and been stopped on a previous occasion.
Since coming here I have found great consolation and encouragement in just experiencing how many others are just 'going through the motions' of a pointless existence which grows more weary day by day.
Do others also find this community a crutch to help them limp on through life, and why on earth do self styled 'pro lifers' not get that I, and possibly others, get more blessing from sharing with like minded others than being told to 'pull myself together'.

I think this website is great for emotional support. I think it can also be a good "launch point" for people who are desperately in need of CTB, whereas other places on the internet just ban people who need help.

Yeah, I definitely find comfort in this community, whether I'm actively suicidal, just depressed, or even when I'm feeling well. (My moods fluctuate all the time.)

It's just nice to be among others who genuinely understand. I would have been dead months ago if not for this place. I don't know how much longer I'll hold on, but this community continues to help me (and I am so grateful to all of you. ❤)

Most people have a preconceived notion that suicide is bad. So they have no empathy for suicidal people and they won't try to understand. I also found consolation being here.

Pro life people are just so incredibly cruel and insensitive, I just think it's best to take no notice of people like that, they are completely ignorant and are blinded by their delusions. But to answer the question, not really. Existence offers no relief from suffering and the reality is that as humans we are all alone, trapped with our own thoughts. It's horrible how there isn't an option to just peacefully pass away without risks and complications.

Even when I feel somewhat good I'm still visiting this forum because of many kind hearted people here. I can't vent anywhere else in my life so I love how people on this site are understanding unlike people in my life.
