Honestly, I should apologize. I didn't realize there were actually people here justifying their suicidal thoughts while simultaneously putting others down. I can't attest to how this site used to be, but there are some of us newbies who are disappointed that method talk can't be allowed.
I don't think a thumbs up sufficiently expresses my agreement with this statement enough that method discussion is essential to prevent unnecessary harm due to suicide failure.
I agree with this. That is the "us" and the "them". This needs to be a post-platitudes area. You know why? Because every other fucking place in existence promotes the same shit that doesn't work. They have the rest of the internet. Let us have this.
Seriously. Not to sound stupid, but I didn't even know that failure was that common. I keep seeing people on here say that they attempted suicide multiple times, like what??? Now I am afraid because apparently hanging yourself is not that easy to do. It's crazy to think about because people kill themselves every day.
The technicalities are probably not that difficult to overcome but if you don't know about the pitfalls, you won't know what to pay attention to either.
um i been here since bout 2018 ,does that mean im pro life ?
Lol maybe old timers are just ghosts checking in on their people, let us live.
That was the point I was trying to make. A poorly made one, I might add. I was saying that staying alive is just as "pro-life" as people coming here for recovery or here only because of health issues, whereas, they would otherwise stay alive.
Most of people who died by suicide contemplated suicide for years even decades, the amount of ignorance in their statement "pro life" is upsetting.
Then you didn't read my whole response. I was referring to the comment that newbies are "pro-life," or the idea that someone joins with a health reason is somehow less than someone who doesn't have a health issue and is suicidal. If someone who hasn't committed suicide and has been here since 2018 can be considered pro-choice on suicide even though they have chosen to live their life, then how is that different from someone who has decided to take their life solely because they have a health issue? Or, someone who has been a member since 2018 be better fit for this site than a new person who is looking for methods. I realize now that apparently there are people who come on here and degrade others for their choice in ending their lives, and for that I was wrong in my comment and I apologize.
I was referring to thier comment not your response to them. Sorry
Wth?! I thought that would be a sure way to die if you've got the guts. Then, there are people who die by ways you wouldn't have guessed are fatal.
This. My stance regarding suicide is clear—it's a personal choice and should be discriminalized. Fighting to change the world so that people actually find life worth living is cool, but frankly almost all suicidal people don't have the energy or motivation to do so.
Oh my god dude, this right here is the kicker, this is the part that people just refuse to comprehend or even humor.
I didn't appreciate one of the comments you made on one of my posts. So it's really a 2-way street. I haven't been on this site long and just because you've been here a long time doesn't make your ideas/opinions more important than mine. I'm sorry you've had a rough life and I can understand wanting this site for support. But, I'm just saying the bad you see in others may just be a reflection of yourself. Blessings.
Doubt that. I don't attack people I don't know in a hostile way unless they are attacking myself or another. Got enough of that shit as a child. Plus I refuse to use freedom of speech as a platform for hate rhetoric.
Those comments were on another post of the person I quoted. Basically he was bashing another member for being an immigrant. Claiming he was stealing jobs and needed to stay in his own country. There. Satified?
I am stable now. Would say I have my ups and downs, but nowadays it's more like I have my horrible crashes and stable moments. I was simply angry at that particular member because they were cruelly attacking another member in a very prejudicial manner. I simply cannot tolerate those who bash the weak or wish death upon others. It's unnecessary and cruel and it's a big factor in why this world is so fucked up.
