  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

I don't think so at least not for me. Every time I try to get excited for something in the future I realize I don't actually care about it because I won't be around for it and that okay

If there is no afterlife there will be nobody and nothing that can regret anything.

If there is an afterlife, it depends on how much of your potential lifetime you cut off. If you are in the final stage of a deadly disease or in old age you will miss nothing good and will not regret anything.

My only regret is not doing it years earlier. Life gets worse, not better. I wish I had the guts when I was a teenager.

Of course you cannot regret anything when you are dead, but even if I was able to regret, I know I would not regret suicide. I am certain that it is the right thing for me, I want nothing to do with life. Suicide is the one way to end all the pain and to be at peace. When you are dead you cannot suffer. Non existence is objectively better than any kind of life.

No one has a crystal ball to see the future. Plus, you can't regret anything once you're dead

Obviously you can't regret anything when you're dead, but assuming you could somehow view the aftermath of your actions and maybe even alternative outcomes for your life.

You just might. Now there are definitely some lives that are so fucked that even best case scenario is still won't make up for everything they've been through. But for some people who just never had much going for them or the impulsive ones who just had a bad stroke of luck, yes I do believe that if you were to see the consequences of your actions on those close to you (assuming you have any) might make your problems seem small. Maybe if you saw visions of what could have been or just what you missed out if you had simply trudged through life taking it one day at a time.

Now this largely depends on your reasons for considering suicide and how long you gave yourself to think about it. Some of us here were shat straight into a frying pan and fucked up the ass as soon as it opened up. Some people just never had anything going for them as if life forgot to give them their hand outs of opportunities and privileges when they were born and just never noticed they lived their whole life for no reason. Some people were never used to falling and when they build themselves ups o high and tumbled down for the first time their entire world basically shattered.

I have looked back and reflected on my life and asked myself what parts of my life would I have regret missing out on if I had done this earlier? I have asked myself what kind of life would need to be handed to me to make me reconsider, how much would I be willing to give to earn it for myself. I have imagined killing someone's child and leaving the corpse for the parents to discover, imagined how close friends and family would react to the news.

I have asked myself all sorts of questions and I have come to one conclusion: I don't care.

Will I regret it? Probably.

Would it make a difference? Considering my feelings didn't change dick diddly while I was alive I'd say the feelings of the dead carry less weight.

I've read and heard enough stories about the dead communicating with the living (through dreams, mediums, other signs) to believe that the consciousness lives on after death. It even happened within my own family.

With that belief, my position on whether I would regret suicide is this:

- Have I tried everything possible to fix whatever issues (physical or mental) that is compelling me to suicide while I'm still alive?
- Is there truly no hope for things to turn around?
- Is the pain unbearable?

If my answer to all three questions is a yes, then I can say I have no regrets of suicide despite what awaits me on the other side. If there is a "no" to one of my questions above, then I owe it to myself to try and make things better now rather than in the afterlife, since there's a chance I would still have to deal with it then.
