So how did you find out this SS website?

[SoulWhisperer]

Tant's video on YouTube.

 

[Lost in a Dream]

I looked up "pro-choice suicide forum" and this was the first or second result that came up.

 

[Jealous Blackheart]

Had spent quite a while looking up methods. Google wasn't very helpful in that regard and it's where I got bad information like VSED being a viable method. The only "real" method I found before finding this site was The Exit Bag but I was never able to assemble one myself. After running out of options I got on the dark web and my search results there ultimately brought me to this site.

When I found it my first impression was that it reminded me of Through-The-Light from the book By The Time You Read This I'll Be Dead. They're not the same but I can't shake the association. I've read that book too many times and wished that site was real since I was.. nvm. Irrelevant.


tl;dr: Dark Web.

For me, it was also the Tantacruel video. I don't resent the pro-life position as much as a lot of people on here, but it's definitely pretty funny that a video intended to raise awareness about how dangerous the site is just wound up sending a bunch of people right to it.

[Just_Another_Person]

Was searching for hang knots on Google.

 

[amnesia999]

Looking for info on OD'ing led me to that infamous NYT article about this site which wasn't hard to find.

As the title says, how did you find out this SS website

For me it was also tantacrul's video i randomly came across it at that point I was in a better place , I was trying to better myself I took a year drop just to work on myself and it worked out and I was better i thought everything will be fine now but it's the same cycle again i didn't join the site at that time I joined it in recent times cause to simply put it I needed assistance with my CTB,pro suicide or not this site is not a bad place in my mind and was never i always felt like regardless of what people say suicide is a personal choice if I feel like I wanna live I will live if I don't I won't providing a method and helping me end my years of suffering I am really grateful for once in my life people are not telling me what to do and forcing me to live be happy so far no one has encouraged me only told me they hope I get what I want..

Some random yt saying the site promotes suicide or smth, it big bad ect. I was just like "hell yeah". A site that allows these sort of talks, info sharing, such and such - probably what I thought

Ditto

 

[waterrrrrrrrrbottel]

As the title says, how did you find out this SS website

looked up a guide to hang myself (on bing, ofc lol) and found it. about 3 years ago

 

[CogitoMori]

Through a scientific journal discussing the commonly held opinions of professionals regarding impulsivity and other behaviors in suicidal people, as opposed to the actual thought process and problem solving that suicidal people say is involved in the process of ctb.

Article about Amazon getting in trouble for selling SN long ago at this point, I just thought it was great and outlet like that existed as someone with an ED I'm used to places where people talk about struggles being shut down and censored and I was curious about what this place was like despite how news spoke about it and all I found was some of the kindest souls hurting badly and wanting relief. The way this place is demonized in the media makes me sick.

 

[Tuonetar_]

I was trying to learn more about Marcus Jannus, the Swedish man who livestreamed his own suicide via hanging, which lead me to this forum's thread of partial hanging/suspension.

 

[Zanmato]

I was reading an article about a person who commited suicide.
It says something about "a website now blocked in our country" (telling also the name of Sanctioned).
And yes, at the time it was blocked.
I tried to searched it again some months later and here we are.

 

[Hunter2005]

I came across a post on Twitter last year

 

[qualityOV3Rquantity]

I was part of the original r/sanctionedsuicide when I was in my late teens, then my life got better so I left. Then my life got worse and I looked for the subreddit but couldn't find it (sinc either was banned) and eventually came to this site.

 

[Gstreater]

A YouTube video that really went out of their way to demonize this place. Now I know it's all b.s though so I stopped watching their content.

 

[whywere]

Had typed in suicide methods back in June 2020 and this site came up.

[OnlyOneSolution]

I read BBC report and researched some of their claims. SS came up in the research.

 

[smurftonic]

many years ago googling suicide sanctions and what was required (thinking death penalty kindve idea) and led me here

 

[itsnigh]

Through researching ways to ctb peacefully for weeks. I then found the old Nembutal dr death articles. Then the NY times article. Then here.

 

[Transboyo]

I had heard of SS through a YouTube video at first. I didn't gave much of an idea or thought, thinking that people are free to do whatever they want and in the end the curiosity got the best of me. Considering CTB more than once in my short life, I came back to the website and I was amazed by how many resources and research about the methods. I keep considering CTB still, perhaps finding other methods to relieve the pain that I can't seem to get rid of.

 

[ChronicAnamnesis]

4chan interestingly enough, some stupid thread on there "name the most fucked up website you know"

 

[ThisGameIsOverrated]

I think looking for suicide methods

 

[Lostandfound82]

I'm pretty sure I was searching up methods and came across it.

Tantacrul. And then was a guest from February 2023 up until I finally decided to make an account

 

[reyonrays]

Someone mentioned it in a reddit post

 

[lilyofthevalley404]

Saw it anonymised in a YouTube video (pro-life, "big-bad" bs) but found the site named in Reddit while looking for an online pdf of "dignified dying"
