How would the people you know react if they knew you were on here

[WaterHemlock]

I've discussed suicidal ideation with people I know. They'd understand my need for a place like this
People more casual in my life would probably just gossip about it.

Badly. In a nutshell, they'd probably try to get me sectioned or be really upset with me. They wouldn't understand at all most likely. I have few true friends that would be able to deal with it, maybe one that really accepts it pre-SS and she kinda knows where I'm at and is in a stable enough place that I can talk to her.

I have another friend and she desperately doesn't want me to ctb, but still helpful.

Doesn't matter.
Never did.


Condescending bullshit. Bunch of condescending, fucked up bullshit and fucked up bullshit.

Oh I guess it's all totally fine.

My girlfriend asked and i told her, i told her eventually i would explain my complete pro choice ideals with her if she wanted but i know shes worried now.

Honestly my other friends would probably be like finally shes been talking about this for like15years

I've already told my partner that I come here because it would be worse for her to see it on my screen randomly. She seems fine with it. She knows it's better for me to be able to express my thoughts honestly rather than keeping them bottled up so that I don't worry her.

I think they would be shocked to learn a site like this exists, but not entirely surprised that I'm on it.

Personally I think my friends and family would be slightly surprised if they knew I was on here. Obviously they would not be ok with it but they wouldn't be terribly surprised due to my history. I'm curious to see what you all think your friends and family would think if they knew you were on here and were able to see your posts and comments.

I think, for me, it would be best described as a clusterfuck

Depressed for 12 years. No one will be shocked: Not family, not coworkers not old friends. It's as if everyone expects me to die already.
What a miserable existence!

Nobody apart from my family would care or be surprised lol. My family knows how depressed and lonely I am but for some reason they've convinced themselves I'm fine

 

[Kobusu]

Can't imagine anyone in my life being particularly surprised, nor do I care much if they do find out.

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

In the back of their minds, they must be thinking this is a possibility…
