Suicide by atmosphere

[Kellogg's]

Do you think the suicidal vibes of this forum will be enough to make somebody depressed enough so that they'll find themselves hanging from a closet rod eventually? Because while trying to obtain a quicker method I really feel like needing that one more push in order to go through with partial hanging and got nothing better to do than reading the posts here.

I think it helps us stay around longer honestly. But eventually something else will come along and it'll be too much.

Pain. Some form of pain will be too much. Nothing will soothe it. That's when it'll be time to leave for sure.

I don't think this forum will make anyone want to kill themselves more than they already do. If anything it will make them feel less alone and offer an outlet for thoughts they can't take elsewhere. That alone can be quite the relief.

I think people find this site when searching for methods, so they kinda already made up their mind. When they're here, they eventually go through with it or decide not to. They just talk to like-minded people while they're still on the brink.

No. I do think that in some cases undecided people could theoretically spend so much time dwelling on their ideation that it becomes hard to stabilise their lives, but they seem to do a good job of self moderating. I have had concerns in the past that ideation may have a kindling effect, but no one here seems to be the type of person who wouldn't be ideating anyway...

There are definitely forums that increase levels of anxiety and ideation, though.

On the other hand, we wouldn't know whether someone out there actually killed themselves or not.

I often feel less depressed reading the comments of people with suicidal ideation and severe depression. It makes me feel less isolated. Feeling isolated absolutely increases my desire to kill myself.

I think the people on this site have already made up their minds. Most of us came across this wonderful place when we were in the process of researching methods & planning. I don't think a non-suicidal person would have any chance of being influenced to ctb by this site.

Just try to approach people you are interested in and get rejected.

I think this website is very calming, it gives information readily and without judgement. As a result, it is very easy to spend hours reading. For people who rely on impulse to kill themselves, this can help with emotional regulation and actually cause people to wait or change their minds.

For people who don't intend to change their mind, it still helps a lot and allows people to put a lot more thought into their suicide than they might otherwise.

I think things like bullying and harsh language tend to aid in the atmosphere of suicide you mentioned, but I haven't seen it here at all.
