NYT doesn't realize that this site has prolonged our lives a little?

[Brayu]

Before the SS my idea was to cut my wrists and thighs in the middle of a railroad... that's what I planned.
Nowadays I have someone to talk to about it, when I have absurd ideas like that... when I can't get over my pain, people here don't just tell me not to kill me, but embrace me even with their comforts.

Since the NYT did all that drama about having kids 25 and under here (emotional blackmail), know that I'm 23 and if I turn 24 it's because people on this site listen to me and don't see me as a social freak just for the sake of it. be bipolar.

Friends, thank you for everything, just for you to exist here is a relief.

Without this site people in awful conditions don't have a safe space to talk about real concerns. Or at least gain a sense of unity because other people are feeling the same way. Everyone would end up feeling alone, having to deal with it alone, and not have any of the resources available to make informed decisions, without this site.

This site comforts me. If it weren't for this I'd jumped in front of the Mitre train and died a painfully slow death, which is what they apparently want

 

[Kobusu]

They don't know how much spaces like this help people. It's a place where people who feel like, and in many cases truly don't, have anybody else can talk openly and freely. It's a safe haven

Ya bro same here homie. I'm still kicking due to this site

 

[...]

on paper i have family and friends that care for me but i could never connect with them and talk to them like i do people on this website. i would feel so incredibly lonely, frightened, and frustrated if not for this place.

 

[Toonloon]

this site doesn't guilt me or make me feel bad for talking about ctb. everywhere else makes me feel like shit or stupid 4 talking about my choices and feelings. i get scared when i see it go down.

Before this i tried suicide with oleander (horrible !)
OD on anti depressants and recreational drugs (serotonin syndrom...horrible !)
And OD on caffeine which was truly dangerous and a horrible way to die i consumed something close to 5 grams (horrible and nearly died) with both method 1.2.3 i had to vomit every 5 minutes for 3 days straight. I vomited so much i nearly died of dehydration.

At least this website tells people how to peacefully die if they really need to
The stupidity lies how they try to prevent people from suicide without actually solving the issues about what causes people to do it

Just look how stupid hollywood movies are regarding deaths and suicide..when a character jumps in front of the train its always a silent death like in those old james bond moview when in reality you get severed limbs and probably survive. Most people get their info from movies...slitting wrist lmfao its never succesfull like never

Now i got the resources and the best methods i can be chill about itmand relax and when its needed it's like flipping a switxh..i think a clean non suffering death is important for relatives

 

[Crazy4u]

this site is the only place I can talk to about my feelings, suicidal thoughts, and issues without feeling judged or defeated

 

[Jaded Pear]

I barely interact with others on here. But when I feel really down/have an urge to suddenly die I now end up coming here and just read other peoples experiences. It helps me tell myself I'm not crazy for thinking the way I do, it's strangely calming and not something I can find elsewhere. This site has probably kept me alive longer than I'd like to admit. I still see myself dying sooner than natural, but the info and people here have made me realize my past plans where not a good idea.

 

[Circles]

Honestly it doesn't matter to most pro lifers. After all I'm sure most who's against this site are anti abortion. One life lost matters more to these people than a 100 or a 1000 people being saved by the site. They only care when it's behind their keyboard and screen, but when if any of us asked them personally to help most would tell us to fuck off or give shallow advice and empty cliches, or worse that hotline number. Hell I wouldn't doubt some would say 'kill yourselves' cause I've seen that on Reddit.

 

[TheHatedOne]

Without this site I wouldn't have known much about hanging, let alone about SN the method that I'm going with now which is more peaceful. They can go stick their ignorance upon their arses, imagine being so fragile that you throw tantrums over people who decide what would be okay to do with their own life.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

This place is so bad for my suicidal ideation due to how comforting it is to be here that I have to take breaks from here just so I can make any progress on my suicide note.

 

[Dreamlike Reality]

It feels unfortunate that I'm one of the users aged under 25 of this site used for the emotional blackmail . . . I haven't been here as a proper account for very long, but I've been lurking for a while and I can say that I would have already ctb with another method that was sure to fail and leave me with irreversible damage if I hadn't found SS. Not even to mention, this place is a safe space for so many people, and I can feel comforted while talking about feelings I can't share with even my closest friends.
The NYT is horribly ignorant with their article . . . Why do people try to share their perspective on topics they simply don't comprehend . . . ?

 

[FuneralCry]

On this website peoples right to die is respected, the society is the problem trying to force people to live. It is our life and our decision and it is nothing to do with anyone else. A place like this is needed where people can talk about suicide without hearing toxic positivity and platitudes.

 

[Chikitawita]

This site has saved me from taking my life in painful ways. It has made me feel like part of a community. I'm not alone
