My bestie just told me about the scariest subreddit she’s ever found… r/sanctionedsuicide

[synchroscope]

She was talking about how it was so traumatic seeing all those people and not being able to do anything per the rules of the subreddit. She even reported a few people to local PDs if she could find something on their profile with their location.

It was sad hearing about how much that impacted her, but it was also kind of funny because I was there like oh uh huh, yeah, never heard of the place. You say they like to use some chemical that starts with S, sodium something? No idea what that could be! Crazy that you can still buy it legally online, right?

She said she was glad that sub was gone, and that now people would have nowhere else turn but professional help. I pointed out that that probably didn't happen. But I didn't want to continue the conversation or defend it at all in case she got an inkling.

SS is exactly for this. Being able to talk about how we're feeling openly without being smothered by "help" or having the police called on us. This person is my best and only friend, and I know I can't talk to even her about this without it becoming the "Save Synchroscope" campaign. Or worse, just another stressor on her inflicted by me.

you were really sitting there like "yeah girl thats horrible. cant believe theres a community like that....yeah its so good the subreddit got taken down haha.."

Oh I don't know, at first glance that sounds a little funny when you read it and like you're part of a secret, tight-knit community. But in reality I would have felt profoundly lonely. Because I would have had the impression that I might not be able to tell my girlfriend about this part of me. About this part of me that sometimes takes up so much space that I can't see anything else and that keeps getting bigger when I can't tell anyone about it. I can tell some friends about it in a very toned down form, but they are all always so helpless that it is really unpleasant.

Does your girlfriend know that you're not feeling well? Maybe she thought she was helping the people there by reporting them? If I didn't live in this dark world, I would also believe that people at risk of suicide are probably only temporarily depressed and are no longer able to get help. Which is sometimes actually true. But not always. Maybe she acted out of friendly motives? Don't get me wrong, from my point of view as a person affected this is of course wrong, but I can understand that you assess it completely differently if you are not affected. I always look for the honest motive behind an action. Maybe she would react surprisingly differently if she knew?

I'm pretty sure that that subreddit's original creators/mods were also the ones who made this site as well.

Hahah, guess I have a similar experience, but with a relative of mine.

That time Blue Whale game was a thing, he was bothering us here to not use internet, almost claiming my mother is irresponsible...? I didn't even have a phone to start with, but anyway, I was listening like "yeah. Such tragedy is suicide; far from me to think of this."

Well, now, even after my quite numerous number of attempts (because by browsing here, seems like I did the Night-Night up to 5 or 6 times, only to do wrong and wake up with a fuckable headache) he still tells me that... I'm not suicidal? I mean... okay?

That was one of the drawbacks of the sub being part of Reddit proper; a lot of people who opposed what the sub stood for drifted in from the rest of Reddit and there were a lot of drive-bys. Still her attempts to intervene sound scary as hell and a good reminder to he wary about what we reveal.

Traumatic? The whole world is full to the brim with misery in the face of which we are utterly impotent. It doesn't sound she had anything to offer that would benefit anyone anyways.

And people who are glad we are forced to turn to professional "help" really have zero understanding of the realities of many of our situations.

 

[areyousafe??]

I feel sad seeing so many posts on r/suicidewatch, that a lot of people also share my despair. It is very hard talking to people in real life about these things, you don't know how they will react, if they will judge you negatively etc. Even when I used to post on some of the bigger subs, I couldn't voice my opinion without being sent suicide links and warnings of being banned for promoting violence (I wasn't).

It's hard to get professional help because you don't know what you can or can't say due to fear of involuntary hospitalisation. I've had the police called on me before and they don't know how to handle someone in a mental health crisis. It was very confrontational and I was upset I was treated that way.

I am grateful for all the support I have received from Sasu members, which I would never receive anywhere else.

Yeah, I don't understand this thought. Why would the site being gone magically make it so that people now have to turn to professional help. It's like she assumes that everyone can easily gain access to professional help. She also seems to be assuming that the people on that subreddit weren't already getting professional help. Like what the hell, dude?

it was so insulting that she assume none of us tried professional help. Girl, I spent $10,000 on counsellor over 5 years and max out on medication.

 

[permanently tired]

It's like that show that goes "Oh no, how terrible. Who would do something like that." And the main character just takes a sip of her drink and looks away
