I used to be a poster in r/SanctionedSuicide back in mainly 2016. Pre-SN days. Kinda moved on, saw it got deleted in 2018 but by then I hadn't visited in a long while. I did notice it got splintered off with r/TrueSanctionedSuicide, I guess the original got too delete-happy?

I thought life would get better, that didn't work out.

Looong time lurker since reddit sanctioned suicide days/ true sanctioned suicide / and briefly time to go.

Thinking about how many years have gone by with little worthwhile improvement in the quality of my life... Oof. I just wish I could make up my mind already. 🙃

I knew about it but I only browsed it a few times. A regular forum is way better than a subreddit as a format anyways imo.

I joined the sub late 2016. SN was not a thing.

The forum is much better.

I lurked there in 2017-2018, until it got banned. Sort of forgot about it for a few years, but then I decided to look it up again recently and found the new forum. It's a bit strange to think about, I guess I didn't think I would end up here again...haha. I do agree that the forum is better than a subreddit though, less risk and better format.

I was a few months too late to the subreddit. I had a long search on the internet about suicide methods before stumbling here by accident.

bought in early 2020 before the pandemic. did not open to test the purity yet, but that just means that I can keep it in ideal storage conditions without breaking the seal for longer in case I feel the need to CTB again. it is now outlawed in my country, so my source does not exist anymore. sorry

Yep I remember the subreddit days, I perused it every day for quite a while between 2016-17, drifted away then later found out about the ban. Was pissed about that till I discovered this place. My passive suicidality mainly dates from 2012 to now. I doubt at this point if it's going anywhere.

Delete if this isn't allowed.

I used to lurk the subreddit but never posted.

Anyone remember a user called something along the lines of gonenewyears(insert whatever year that was, I forget)
I remember his posts fondly and cried when I read his goodbye.

I remember this user and I think about them often, how they climbed a mountain I believe in their final days and chose to ctb there on new years. They were a very poignant individual and their words have stuck with me throughout the years. It is a major loss that their last writings were removed due to idiotic reddit admins.

Suicide watch gets a lot of visitors who are well meaning but know very little about suicide. "Just be a homeless nomad if you want to kill yourself" is a sentiment I recently saw on there. When the person obviously didn't want to do that the person stated the person had their mind closed off to suggestions.

Are you able to find their posts via this tool?

Mee. I mostly lurked but it was my most frequented sub for a while along with the dreaded r/depression. I felt bereft when I found out about the ban some time later. Wasn't there when it all kicked off with allegations of promoting violence or some such.

Oh I just noticed I already replied to this thread haha
