I find it sad seeing posts everyday about someone deciding to kill themselves

[Cat5050]

Do you agree?

 

[muffin222]

Well, I definitely find it sad that people suffer such deep despair that they feel death is their only option, but seeing that this is a suicide forum, those types of posts are to be expected.

 

[booray]

Well, it is a pro-choice suicide forum, so it comes with the territory.

 

[foxdie]

I do find it sad even given the nature of the site. The world can truly be a ghastly place to people. It's just sad all around imo.

 

[BeansOfRequirement]

What's sad are our lives until we kill ourselves.

 

[Blue Rose]

It is sad, but it is their choice also.

 

[Trisolaris]

That is the nature of this forum. We've come here to seek refuge with like-minded people until we do the deed.

 

[whywere]

Sad, yes, BUT to whatever degree that is the state of what type of (non) help we get from the society in general. I have had 2 attempts and almost ZERO, THANK HEAVENS for Sanctioned Suicide global family here!!!,no help . I am judged in a flash and then left to my own devices. THEN I am ridiculed and ostracized. At least I have a site , Sanctioned Suicide, where I have people who have helped me so, so much!! Love to all here!! Walter

Definitely, this forum is not for the faint of heart. This forum is for the people who are willing to die or willing to recover. I, for one, belong to the former. It saddens me that there is no way out in their current state of life, and suicide is the most desirable option.

 

[Makko]

It's only sad from an outside perspective. From the perspective of the person posting, it's a resolution to take the only step that will, in their world, change things for the better.

 

[Meditation guide]

It's a suicide forum. Of course it's sad.

 

[UterEntonaur]

I think it's far more sad that even in 2021..... for some people, the only way to end the suffering or pain, is to end themselves.

 

[GarageKarate07]

Actually, NO! I know there are very young people on here and seniors. I know there are people with deformities here as well as chronic disabilities. I'm actually glad that they have found the courage to free themselves of this awful place. There is NO quality of life here worldwide. There is No real help for depression, there is no country that absolutely takes care of its people, there is no country that feeds its children for free, there is no country that has made laws to give its citizens the best and kindest life possible, there is no country that has put a stop to war, poverty, debt, or this financial class game that has ruined our lives and caused so much damage. I'm glad they left because they can either finally be free, start another life with a better chance, meet better fucking parents, or go be happy in eternity. I dont find it sad at all. I find this place and the way we treat children here sad. People say they care but we actually really don't. The game goes on. Every citizen goes to work from 9 to 5 and does not a damn thing to change the world for these children. Smaller countries are used and scavenged from without the consent of the people and then we "give them jobs and democracy" when they were far better off without the church bank and state forcing a new and opressing way upon them. We sit on our hands and make excuses to stop being stupid and actually make this world a better place. It would almost be a sure bet that the other side is a much better place than this world will be for a very very long time. I'm happy to see someone escape from this horrible world. I hope they are safe and happy on the other side because it sure doesn't happen here. We would rather lobby for Exxon and Wal-Mart.

 

[aneurysm]

Life is sad

 

[Thanatonaut]

It's sad, but it's sadder that we live in a world where humans are fine to leave their fellow humans languishing in misery that makes them want to CTB. Instead of actually working to help those in need, most people just bellyache when someone has the temerity to actually DO something about their suffering. Then all of a sudden they care.

 

[it's_all_a_game]

Yeah, it's very tragic. In a better world, very few people would even want to take their own lives, much less be successful at it.

 

[Fthis]

Do you agree?

Not really. It can be a bit sad to see some members that have been with us a long time CTB, but I'm mostly just happy for them to not have to deal with this shitty world anymore.

 

[AQUA]

Bless them

 

[Nigh]

It's bad to say- but I get envious.

 

[Fthis]

It's bad to say- but I get envious.

Me too

 

[Cashewmilk]

It's bad to say- but I get envious.

Me too... I'm envious of their confidence, everyone here seems so damn 100% confident they're going to succeed in their attempt. I'm so jealous, I wish I could say the same. I've been trying to kill myself for the last 18 years, and none of my methods (hanging, overdose) have ever worked. I have no money, no access to anti emetics, I do have SN, but I have severe GI issues. I just don't know what to do, I'm too afraid of jumping off a bridge or a building. I'm literally stuck in a prison. I have nightmares about being in a state prison or going to one and coming to terms with it.

Me too mate, been trying to kill myself for the last 10 years. At this point I'm at the end of my tether.

 

[Shadowrider]

Yeah!

Of course I am pro-choice.
Of course I can understand if someone thinks there's no way out and it's better to CTB than to continue with a miserable, meaningless existence that cannot be called a "life".

But understanding this does not mean I am okay with it.
It does not - and it will never, ever - mean I am happy to see people say goodbye and report their suicide online.

I am fucking sad because they had no other choice.

I see many nice, smart and caring people who end up in hopeless situations. These people would deserve something better.

This is what makes me very sad.

So many cool and good people who are/were in so terrible situations that they had no other solution.

There are so many horrible people - stupid, egoistic, not caring, arrogant and so on - who have everything and who are so goddamned satisfied with themselves.

And, there are so many nice people - intelligent, caring, humble, empathic - who don't even have the necessary things and who are/were convinced they don't even deserve it.

So I am sad.

Very sad.
Everytime someone announces they are going to CTB and report how they are proceeding withtheir chosen method, I _am_ sad. Even if I don't comment on how they are proceeding.

I cannot blame anyone for catching the bus, but please let me not be happy about it.

I am not a cold, unfeeling psychopath who does not give a shit about others.

I feel crap enough.
Knowing that others feel exactly as bad - or maybe even worse - does not make me feel better.

 

[Ber0]

Do you agree?

This is pretty much my view on goodbye threads from an older general life-view post I made. I tried to cut it down cause it was like 3k words at the time.

[[["I just always think to myself when I see these threads, It is a feeling of crestfallen, heart break, there is no way to accurately describe it. -- and I'm not stupid, I know it comes with the territory and nature of where I am, I was trying to figure out a good way to describe it, and one post I read comes close, I think. Being here is like boarding a train, and everyone gets on and has their destination for better or worse, even me. And I should be happy when people finally reach their destination, it would be selfish of me to want them to stay on the train. And although I'm happy for them, it still hurts a little to see them go, because even if the change is small, no matter how much I knew them or if they were just a stranger, each person brings their own unique identity and color into the train, and although the disappearance might not be obvious for everyone, there is a sense of emptiness. It's not like an ocean is made of a single drop of water after all. To think that perhaps things could've turned out differently for people who never wanted to board the train, perhaps it's a last resort for some, or maybe just one thing after the other led them here, or maybe it's a welcome decision for some. And like I said, it's the part that kills me the most, to know that it's not enjoyable to them being alive, that their life isn't going to plan, that they aren't happy. Looking around the train, you probably couldn't name all the strangers you've seen leave, perhaps forgotten many of them are, and yet they leave behind the absence of themselves. Whether it was a larger interaction or small, there's just something missing, something not quite place-able in words. Everything is fine, and yet, there's something missing with such deafeningly small detail. I know I shouldn't be so selfish, and I do always respect other's decisions, but it never changes that empty feeling and sadness I get each time I see those posts."]]]

I like this. A refuge :) yes.

 

[blvck]

Yea, because deep down i really wish i could take the pain away and undo the hurt that has pushed people to this point. I really wish I could make everyone here, including myself, happy.

same actually

 

[SuicidallyCurious]

When I first joined the forum I was a bit surprised but it adds up statistically with what is known about suicide. For every post here imagine how many gruesome murder suicides are going on

 

[booray]

I think suicides are vastly under-reported due to stigma - unless it's a teenager - whereas murder-suicides are always reported. I am morbidly curious about suicide, so I google "suicide news" every day, and i can attest that there is at least one case of murder-suicide every single day somewhere in the US. It's usually always by firearms and the majority involve married couples. It's usually always the husband killing the wife and then turning the gun on himself. Sometimes entire families are taken out, or it's one parent taking children along for the bus ride. The only ones that seem to make any sense to me are when elderly couples decide to leave together.

Yes I've been researching obscure subjects like this before I ever considered CTB. For example I google nearly every day xxxx date mass shooting or "mass shooting today " to get a window into the chaotic hellscape out there
