Going away post: I'm recovered.

[I_love_to_bake]

I haven't been as active as I usually am on this site for some time, and I decided to officially announce why I'm taking a step back.

First of all, I want to say that this community helped me in my darkest times more than any therapist could. It gave me a novel perspective on human suffering and my own situation. So thank you all.

But, for my own health, it's important to recognize when I've improved and don't need this place anymore. I wouldn't recommend SS to anyone who isn't truly suffering because the darkness can pull you in. And in the same way, we might find ourselves stuck in a cycle because we keep active here.

Like many, I came to this site looking for methods. I discovered Stan's guide and ordered some SN. About a month ago, I disposed of it. I am no longer intent on suicide. I have found a way for my life and I'm clinging on to it.

Another reason why I am leaving instead of continuing to offer my help to fellow strugglers is because many of us here just simply dont want to get better. I used to be the same way. It's really hard to find for yourself a reason to WANT to recover. But nobody can show you, you have to see it for yourself, why life is worth living.

I'm going to offer one piece of advice, whether it's accepted or not, because I feel obligated to do so. You need to set aside your pride and learn to trust again. I know we dont want to. I didn't want to. I thought I was independent and I didn't need anybody. But the truth is, we need to be willing to be vulnerable to see the love other people have for us in their hearts.

Peace out, and God bless.

You've come so far! Through that never ending dark tunnel back out into the light. I wish you all the very best in your recovery and don't forget your sunscreen. I hear it's pretty bright outside the tunnel.

Wow i'm glad to hear that. I wish you the best of luck in your recovery

 

[Myforevercharlie]

That's great! So happy for you! Go and life your live

That's great news, @I_love_to_bake . I hope you remain positive as you move on through life and I wish you the best for the future.

 

[TrailerTrash]

Excellent news for you - best wishes.

 

[MrBigSad]

Glad to hear it :) I totally get where you are coming from when you talk about how this site can pull you into a dark place.

But like you said, it's also very therapeutic. I came here before my attempt. Failed, then came back.

I'd so much prefer speaking to people on here than any psychiatrist or helpline because people here have real empathy.

We come here when we are at the brink. And it's surprising how many here pull us back to life. Not for religion or own personal gain, simply because they are suffering as we are and want company. I wish you all the best in your recovery

This made me sincerely happy. I am so glad that at least one of us isn't totally determined to die lol.

 

[goodbyebunny]

I'm happy for you. That's amazing.

My world got better discovering this thread. Thank you and positive vibes.

 

[woxihuanni]

You got everythint you wanted out of this forum, apparently and went off farting rainbows. I once wrote to you to talk about baking and did not say a single word outside of that subject but you just ghosted me barely a few words into the convo. That was just another kick in the teeth for me. Keep farting rainbows, but if you come back crawling here, my ghost will laugh at you.

Oh and there is no g*d to bless you, it is a bunch of people you condescendingly call unwilling to 'get better' who helped you. How grateful.
