The difference between this place and r/sucidewatch

[ornitier199]

Getting a bit hard to tell the difference now.

 

[Alex6216]

suicidewatch doesnt allow method talk, that's a big difference. Ask how to kill yourself and 80% of the comments will be "no dont do it" and the remaining 20% will be something like "just hang yourself" or "od on sleeping pills", useless shit basically.

I have never been on r/suicide watch, I know that people often complain about reddit on here but I know nothing about it. Is suicide watch some pro life suicide prevention place or something. If so, then there has been pro lifers on here recently, some harmful ones. This forum used to be different, I used to find this forum comforting in a way, but in recent times it does not make me feel better at all. It is a shame that people have been insulting others on here but after all people can be cruel. That is just the way that some people are.

 

[Suicidebydeath]

r/Suicidewatch is trash if you're imminently suicidal.

 

[WorthlessTrash]

How is this place comparable to suicide watch?

 

[tration7]

reddit is actively moderated. If you are not careful, you can get shadowbanned, blocked, suspended, etc.

I would browse that one for days back in 2021 and would hate it immensely because of that. II thought this place I could get away from that, but I still see it even here from time
its not completely like it since i the PPeH and resource thread are useful

r/Suicidewatch is trash if you're imminently suicidal.

yeah complete dumpster fire. I avoid the fire at all costs, which is the whole site.
I generally prefer the esthetic of forums like these and trf.

 

[WorthlessTrash]

Suicidewatch is a place where people pretend to give a shit about you and offer you useless advice and platitudes in a futile effort to get you to cope. Next to no one there will respect your decision to CTB. Here, i have seen very few people try to change my mind on the matter.

Getting a bit hard to tell the difference now.

Can you give an example?

 

[Lullaby]

r/TimeToGo used to be my go to place. It was pretty much the only sub I knew of where you could vent about your suicidal thoughts and not be judged, and the users there were very supportive about whatever you were dealing with.

Then Reddit quarantined it and then posts started slowing down completely. I don't think it's had a thread in months.

This place is a lot better than anything on Reddit and anywhere else, honestly. Though, there are definitely people here who try to sour the overall experience.

 

[mojabaka]

Reddit is bullshit because pro suicide comments have to be removed. It's just another bullshit websitr where people will tell you "don't do it".

 

[WonderingSoul]

r/suicidewatch is fake fucking bullshit. I'm convinced that only a very small portion of that subreddit is actually suicidal. They'll just tell you every method is the worst way to go. They'll shame you feeling like that because it'll hurt your friends and family and other pro life bullshit. What they usually say is that, life is so random and crazy, and that you could win a the lottery tomorrow and you'll get a pet unicorn or something stupid like that. You have to see it to believe it because it is THAT stupid. They will act like they care about you and just randomly agree with you're venting, then you could tell them your plans, and they'll be like "YoU cAnT cUz lIfE iz AmAzIng aNd RaNdOm". Don't waste your time with that sub, plus might get banned if you say too much. That subreddit is profoundly ignorant because they'll tell you to think rationally before you do anything, as if you weren't already thinking rationally. r/suicidewatch is hot raining wet dog diarrhea compared to SS.

 

[rationaltake]

So it sounds like r/suicidewatch would be good for people who want to be encouraged to live.

Different strokes for different folks.

I'd like to think SaSu is pro-choice.

 

[lostmylove]

Just ban all pro lifers honestly. It's a case of them thinking they are god . It's an ego trip to them, they don't actually care about suffering. They believe every single thing can be improved upon.

Talk about moral schizophrenia. They don't care just want to feel good.

That doesn't mean I want this place to be a death cult, if people recover that's perfect and I wish that could be case for everyone. But that's logically not possible.

SS has a recovery sub forum:

Receive support, help others in need, form partnerships to get better, or just spend some time breathing in positivity.

 

[rationaltake]

SS has a recovery sub forum:

Thanks for reminding us. I spend most of my time here on the suicide forum.

I try to remember that some people are attempting recovery.

I just went to r/TimeToGo and there's been a post made less than a day ago. There seem to be new posts every few days to a week. Not the most active, but by no means dead.

 

[just_random]

Every time I went to r/suicidewatch I felt worse... it's like 90% of them are bots that just copy paste a msg saying " we know what you've been through, but life is worth living" and bs like that
like why are most people so committed to make me not die? I just wanna go leave me alone, mind your own fking business and if you cant help just stfu...

I last checked it a couple of months ago and it was pretty dead. I think there would be a new thread once a month or every so.

If it's active again, then that's great. I used to vent there a lot when I was really struggling.

Yeah I blacklisted that entire site because of the points mentioned by others.

 

[Messgram]

suicidewatch is dominated by pro-lifers

 

[MellowAvenue]

To be honest, the biggest difference is that SuicideWatch flat out does not condone suicide as they feel just condoning it is an act of encouragement. Here, we're supposed to condone one's right to choose that path for themselves.

 

[T90-Alpha]

the reddit mods delete anything pro choice on there

 

[outatime_85]

I don't know about banning pro-lifers. Their thoughts and methods have a time and place, I think.

Recovery is good, and for those who can, that is great.

As for those who want to cash in their chips, how is society as a whole going to prevent those who want out from doing so?

Unless the powers that be start mandating that everyone they deem mentally unhealthy be put on anti-depressants or anti-psychotics by law, there will always be people seeking a way out or methods of self-medication.

Every day, people are told that the world owes them nothing, yet people are expected to do certain things in this world or be labeled as weak or failures.

I think people should be allowed to have both the right to life and the right to check out and not be shamed for their choices.

I guess this is a more pragmatic approach.

 

[Salvation_]

They'll just tell you every method is the worst way to go.

To be fair, the methods that people mention on the subreddit are the highly publicized ones that have low success rate and often those people don't have proper preparation. We all know OD'ing on pills is a bad idea but people on r/suicidewatch pretend like it is so easy when the reality is you'll most likely live and suffer through pain. At least on SS there are resources to direct people to.

 

[waitingforrest]

When I was on suicidewatch, I was spammed by people sending me videos of sermons trying to "exorcize" me of my "demons". Or saying that I was under the devil's control and that is why I was suicidal. And there also is the automated bot message, a reddit user was concerned about you, Please get help here, spam.

Suicidewatch is sanitized and is useless as talking to a crisis line in my opinion.

I used to post there before finding out this website existed in throwaway accounts, the only good thing I made from there was a kind hearted friendship, and I also met an user who not only listened to me, but tried to understand me, hope he's fine wherever he is now... But, in most situations, sometimes I got people pretending to care, telling me they'd be my friends, but when I reached out they would ignore me or just talk up to a few weeks at most (except for the two people mentioned earlier), or they would tell me I had to focus only on myself and fill my wounds with love and so on.

I think they're like that because... The concept of taking our own lives, happens in so few people around the world, that most of them can't even think doing something like that. Imagine a classroom of 30 Students, of those only 9-10 will get bullied, and only 2-3 from the bullied ones will get severely bullied... Fastforward a few years, only those 2-3 might develop suicidal tendencies, and the remaining 7 might develop anxiety or depression (but not that strong)... The rest will be fully functional people, those people whom have many friends, as they find acceptance just by existing, that's why our society is just focused on the majority...

Did I hear someone mention my name?

Idk. Have you tried to change my mind on the matter? Lol!

 

[locked*n*loaded]

You can do whatever it is you feel you need to do. My position was never any different than that. As I've explained, I only wanted to posit possible reasons to you that might be worth a reconsider. That's all.
