An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
my autism, trauma caused by abuse and rape, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder are NOT temporary, they are going to stick with me for life unless I decide to kill myself. why cant pro-lifers understand that some issues that suicidal people face simply can't be cured?

Those pro-life people are just so incredibly delusional and lack any compassion, it sounds really horrible what you've had to endure, existence is just too cruel.

I don't think pro lifers actually understand or even think about it really. Maybe they just think "oh, so you are depressed? Take some meds, go outside and have fun" or stuff like "time heals all wounds"... that's obviously not true for every situation but they might just not get that since they don't experience it like that.
And sure, some problems that make people suicidal might really be temporary but to generalize that is so stupid! (And i personally think that people should choose their own solution, temporary or not)

Because they don't understand. They think our brains are like there's where your sad for say 10 minutes then it passes. It is an annoying and stupid quote. They've got no right to judge. Bollocks to them all. They should try years of mental torture before judging us.

Pro-life people have not realized that they have a permanent disease: Hypocrisy
Being told "life is beautiful", "smile","make your dreams come true" is almost like being told that they have a better life than you.
Many people supposedly care about CTB, but they don't even lift a finger.
And there you have the evidence, thousands and thousands of cases of CTB.
They just want to distract you from your thoughts to keep you in this hell.
I remember when I was in college, I had a classmate who always posted on Facebook about CTB prevention and she was always supposedly worried about people with depression, saying CTB won't solve your problems.
And you know, I've had depression and thoughts of CTB.
And do you know what she did with me? Basically, nothing.
She regarded herself as an "inclusive" person and openly supported the LGBTQ+ community.
But she never noticed my depression and loneliness. And she didn't even say anything when I dropped out of college.
And there are thousands of cases and unfortunately those people are the ones who add fuel to the fire that keeps this hell alive...

I guess they want to make you feel hopeful. But of course it comes across as totally ignorant and phony to ppl like us.
I think it's might be possible to learn to cope and heal in a way where you can have a relatively fulfilled and peaceful life even for someone with such horrible issues as you. But I still think it's your choice which path you wanna choose. And ignorant advice and phony, forced positivity doesn't help of course. People are so stupid, and scared and hypocritical...

Literally. I don't fit into this world and it's not just a "temporary problem", it's a life-long problem. My adhd and other neurodivergences are not temporary, they are chronic conditions which make it hard to function and live in society. For me the problem is having to exist in a world that was not meant or built for people like me

Oh, your example reminds me of this frustrating experience of mine from years back with a former classmate of mine - at the time a current one - to whom I explained that I'm not sure if I can be friends with them and their friends because the people who they associate with have harassed me and laughed at my expense, but all they could say - despite being the passive on-lookers was: "well, I didn't harrass you". That still doesn't mean, especially given you gave me no reason to trust you, especially given whom you associate with, that I owe you my friendship. And you know what the really rich part was? I accept their friend request and since then they have NEVER tried to communicate with me. They had every chance. In fact, I have tried striking up a conversation. Why do people insist on merely filling up their friends list with meaningless contacts as if it were a popularity contest?
Sorry for going off-topic, but your comment reminded me of this, so I felt like getting it off my chest.
Anyway, sorry that happened to you. That person clearly had no frickin' clue what they were talking about. Clout and popularity chasers act so righteous but do nothing but shame and ignore people who could use the support and validation annoys me to no end. And they often happen to be pro-lifers. It's really fucking sad that people supposedly so obsessed with life don't give a shit about the quality of other people's lives. They're just talk. Their only real obsession is controlling other people's lives to fit their standards and to give them what they want/need.

I don't care if I didn't even have any problems ( which of course is impossible in this hell called life) .
I don't care if i didn't even have any problems . I want to ctb problems or not no one has the right to tell me I can't . I don't have to justify it or give reasons to anyone . I want to that's it. it's no body else's business if want to kill myself or not. it won't affect anyone anyway. but they made assisted suicide illegal and nembutal also a crime to keep me a slave in their prison.

seriously, two of my top reasons are the fact that I'm never going to have a job that pays me a living wage and my BPD which isn't curable. if anyone really thinks my problems are temporary, they're more than welcome to give me a few million dollars to afford to be alive and also create a cure for BPD

It's something they will never understand. Because they are not in the "spot". The problems they have faced have been in fact temporary or something to actually manage in the long run. Only somebody who knows that things are NOT (most fucking likely) getting better to a bearable line understands it. Every person has a breaking point. Most people never get to that and they die naturally or from accident. I think suicide is the most painful way to die because that person has died fighting so hard that it literally broke their will to live. It's kinda absurd and fucked in my point of view. Never thought I would personally get to this point but here we are. Still trying to get on terms with it but I would say month is the most I will be here anymore.
