  • 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.

Hi. Yes, it's definitely played the role, i can't turn off the brain constantly thinking about shit that's going on. IMO, the world is going downhill, it's getting harder and harder to live simply and I really pity children who'll be born later.

I classified my problems into check boxes and realize 40% of it are external -something comes from current system of living: i.e. injustice, capitalism, ignorance, corruptions etc; These are indirect but very impactful because there's practically almost nothing I can do about it but obey and surrender

I think that for me personally, it does not impact me that much. The thing that makes me want to ctb is the suffering that I am currently experiencing rather than all the suffering that exists in this world. I do not read the news and I feel very disconnected to world events, it does not affect my life. Just existing is enough to motivate me to suicide, I would not want to live in any kind of world, to me non existence is always preferable to living.

It depends on my state of mind. If I have more energy or I'm not so hopeless that I don't have the capacity to care it generally makes me want to do something about it. A lot of the time I'll still have that emotional response that it's wrong and bad, but I'm too stuck to do anything or it feels too big and in those times it can bolster my desire to ctb. It's never the reason I want to ctb, but it can exacerbate things

It must be hard for you to try to live through these perilous times.

Others - like myself - were depressed before all those worldly events occurred, and so aren't worried about them, since our personal matters are closer and have more influence over us than those worldy events. With this mindset, suicide is always close at hand, so nothing worldy is really a threat.

Having said the above, I feel endlessly sorry for all the people who are having - or will be having - a really tough time due to the current and potentially imminent worldly events.

No,the World was much worse in the 1930's and 1940's---World news doesn't affect my CTB wish in the least, a personal loss destroyed my own world

All the stuff you mentioned definitely contributed to my stress but I would be lying if I said those were the prime motivators for my eventual suicide. Life has just gone gradually down hill for a long time now. This has been the worst decade of my life.

Not remotely. If I could reverse my degenerative condition and regain my health I'd kick all that shit in the nuts and live life to the fullest.

It impacts me not much as I am old and don´t need to kill myself in order to escape from this world, but I am worried about my children and grandchildren.

When the war started in Ukraine I was considering hanging myself again (I live in eastern europe) to not get drafted.
Thankfully Putin wasn't crazy enough to start WW3 by invading a NATO country.
(Not that I actually think the US, or any nato country with nukes, would commit suicide to save some eastern European countries )

I don't want to get political, but the way in which politics and culture have become so intertwined in the United States is a factor. Not the main factor, but a significant one. Another factor is that there are so many evil people in the U.S., and they are becoming more common and weilding more power than ever before.

My body was never created/built in a way that would enable me to be successful in this world. I'm born into a social species that requires being successfully social in order to survive. I should have never been born.

My baseline health was already low physically and mentally and it's getting worse. The combination of all the illnesses removes any chance of success.

If it didn't have to interact with people in a way that means I can't get rid of/make myself safe from the dangerous and toxic ones, then I could probably cope with the rest. But if you can't express and manage with people you can't work, you can't get enough money to live, you can't gain access to health care etc.

I wish I could live safely alone, but my physical health is so poor and getting worse I couldn't survive that way either.

If I didn't live in a culture where toxic people are supported and enables them to thrive, even encourages them, I think I'd have a better chance of survival.

So I see that everything you've asked about in your post are signals of that problem. But they aren't directly making it worse.
