Obsessed with "suicide news" online

[Life's not a comedy]

I pay attention. I like to see who they were and wonder how they got there. I see a lot of influencers lately

That's how I found this site too from that Reddit page - this is much better and more private which is nice too!
I am too with anything, when I see it in the news or in books and movies - I both feel less alone and curious on the why and how and also helps with my own planning

I actually found this site from reddit because someone posted its wikipedia page!

Is anyone else checking like almost every day (sometimes multiple time a day, in my case) the "suicide news" online ? like I would type "suicide" and then go to the news section on Google. It's one of the most obsessive activity I have lately (besides sleeping and well rotting in bed...). I don't really know why I do that but it sorts of "calm me" ??? since there's no pictures nor names (usually) about the person who died, simply vague circonstances, I don't feel empathy, just morbid curiosity and maybe I'm searching for ideas ? but mostly I think I'm jealous of those people who finally died and are free of this non-sense circus that is being "alive".

It's a little different and kinda weird, but when I read about someone committing suicide, especially if it's a more famous case, I get super obsessive with finding every bit of information I can about said person. It is comforting in a way, seeing my pain reflected in other people, though I do feel bad for them. I guess I'm just looking for evidence that my experience isn't unique, that there are other people who understand the way I feel, who think the same way, etc

Yeah actually. I didn't know other people did this. Guess I never really thought about it.

Almost every train station has some service that takes you to London and there's constantly delays on the local news saying about how somebody jumped in front of one (I mention London because the jumpers are usually from London, but obviously the service ends up being delayed to all of the trains stops). Usually just says there was an 'incident' and it 'doesn't appear to be suspicious'. You've got your answer when you see all the helpline links at the bottom of the article.

Anyway, yeah. I read a lot of it. It definitely makes the decision feel more weightless to know that people are doing it every single day.

Yes, you are not alone.

I usually search for jumpers, which is my preferred method.

Though, a certain person who may be leaving us today (by another method) has almost convinced me not to jump.

I still keep all options open, but her words have reached me.

Peace, ma'am.

Just learned about this guy a few weeks ago after I backed out of a couple potential jumps.

Guy had balls to do it this way (or maybe he was just desperate).

Landed on a buffet table.

RIP.
