Does you think some people are here for fun?

[JustAboutDone]

only a small minority on here will ctb

Then imo the site is successful - because giving people a safe haven to talk about suicide is then actually giving them time and space to air their thoughts and maybe decide it's not for them. Or, if it is, then they don't end up with agonising liver failure as they have found a method that suits their needs.

I went onto the channel this came from and the poems on there are actually quite good. I would recommend you guys to go and check them out. Especially Breakdown.

I often wonder if others are just here for attention, but I try not to think about that, because I know everybody has their own problems.

There aren't many chances to meet people with the same problems as ourselves. I seek information about methods. But not for do it immediately. There is not many people we can talk about this. It only makes friends and family more distant, angry. There are not many places where you can talk about suicide without being treated as wrong. It's difficult the empathy when people around you don't feel the same. It is not for fun I come here. It is like a part of me.
I currently don't have motivation to ending my life. Tomorrow could be. There's been stability during my lasts years, because I had a girlfriend that made me happy and she was my connection to the world. 6 years later we broke. 3 years later, I'm wandering those suicidal ideas. Since I can loose my house, without job, without love, without hope. But I'm not desperate. Things keep going, yet.

Thanks, that's my channel, it also has stuff on it by @Misanthrope which he allowed me to use, I might do more at some point.
Here's my other channel which has some light hearted stuff also.

Oh, the angelic fox turns out to be a poet too. Should the ladies expect bouquets arriving at their profiles soon? :D
On a more serious note, I shall have a look at the channel and get back to you with my very own commentary :)

Ok,
The "Ever Wonder how the Internet is made" had me in tears. As did "Gordon Ramsay versus Theresa May".
The "It's the Great Brutish way of doing things" was an eye-opener, as was "The world of now".
Keep it up Mr J Fox. Esq

I feel like being in a cue, in a room, waiting for ctb. I feel better being comprehended and somehow with companion. May be the end is near, may be not. I'm very happy becoming old and see that things come near, in one way or another. My be are the antidepressants who obligue me to say 'happy'.

It has started to cross my mind lately that some people are doing this for kicks. I guess if you're getting the information you want then who cares right? What about those who see this as the only place they can truly vent? You can't tell a shrink you're thinking of dying or else you get locked up indefinitely. I find myself here daily as my mind goes up and down all day long depending on how I'm feeling physically. I wonder what pure suicidal depression not connected to anything else really feels if someone can explain that to me.

As long as you aren't so vulnerable you can be talked into suicide -when there is some hope- then I wouldn't worry about it. If you get what you need, people are decent and not trying to rip you off then it's all good.
There are probably loads of ingenuine people. Just follow the motto to trust no one on the internet is how I see it.
I feel more concerned for the extremely vulnerable ( I know we all are to some extent) who could be coerced into it. There are some sick people around.

That's not wrong at all, I'm in a similar situation. I think people are more talking about people joining this forum who are not depressed, sad, troubled or suicidle at all, just show offs looking for attention.

If someone comes here to show off i think they might have bigger issues than the rest of us. Because thats just sad and twisted, how fucked up do you have to be... Then again im not saying their probably isnt just like their might be people getting off on our storys and the way we express depression and other symptoms of pain. They say we are fucked up, but trust me theres more fucked up people out there.

 

[Roberto]

I'm not sure if I had to participate. Not being suicidal right now, is a reason to not to be here?
I try to share information with others, and care about if someone is very young and have the common problems with their parents / friends and didn't try a therapist and is a temporal new problem that can solved in the future.
I understand pain, emptiness, hopelessness, depression, anxiety, avoidance that we can suffer. I try to care about the participants while I haven't found it's my turn to ctb.

 

[Buddyluv19]

Why does the entire forum have to be negative and depressing. Say a depressed suicidal person comes here to vent a bit but also to get a pick me up from the flowers thread or from a fellow member. If it was only about death and dying it'd be kind of boring because the whole thing would be hanging questions over and over. Who's to say that's not a coping mechanism for whatever the poster is going through that they don't always feel the need to share their whole life with everyone in the forum... Why does there have to be a proper way to use the site? Just ignore people who bother you??

@Redt2go
Where is the 'flowers' thread? I need some flowers.

Oh thanks. I'm going over there now.

Frankly, my my fovorite thread on the site is 'now listening to'. So much music I have missed out on! And the videos! The other day I saw a video that was so intense and sensual on that thread. It made me realize I am still alive! It doesn't change the fact that I will ctb, but it gives me some relief from suffering.

I like poppy.

So pretty :) those red letters are a link

I posted in another thread about this in more detail but I worry that some people are here for a creative writing exercise or to screw with people. So some of the stories or information about methods could be completely invented with the intention to sound real, or even worse completely invented with the intent of causing harm by spreading wrong information. There are probably also some scammers playing the long game and fishing for PMs or offering to share a new source for N that's actually a scam.

 

[Johnnythefox]

probably also some scammers playing the long game

I would say definitely as opposed to probably.
