Was looking for methods while experiencing a horrible bout of suicidal thoughts last year or so and Google kept doing that BS it does where it just gives you help hotlines instead of anything relevant to your search, and so I delved a bit deeper until I came across some indie article talking about a News Station that got put on blast for mentioning this site by name (they didn't want people coming here), but the article unfortunately didn't mention what this place was called, instead referring to it as a "site that encourages suicide."
It had caught my attention. There was an entire site full of people who didn't just go, "Don't think the way you do. Don't say stuff like that about yourself." I needed in. Over the course of hours and hours of searching —having to be super selective of my choice of words, because if I wasn't google would, as I mentioned before, just give me hotline numbers — a link to this site popped up.
Spent hours more just scrolling through threads once I got here, looking for methods of CTB that were in the scope of possibility for me, and ended up changing my mind about doing it. Not because I suddenly felt less suicidal from the reality of what CTB meant, but because, idk... It was just... It was nice to see people in the same headspace as me.
Recently went back into a bad headspace and came back, having remembered the site address, and decided that I would actually make an account this time around so that I can do more than just watch other talk to each other. So yeah. Hi.
