Not at all. It's nice to be reached out to. Been here a week and this is kind of the first time people are reaching out to welcome me. It's nice. I was wondering if I had been doing this wrong or something. i had asked a few questions and people were nice wnough to answer so that happened but. what know. lol

Oops! Ha, I swear I can read. Thank you.
Different people interact differently with the forum, depending on how they feel. There's a public chat room, private chat, private messages, specific threads on the open forum and more general threads too. You can also post on your own profile and on other people's profiles too (though for some reason I can't atm).
done my meeting, back at home! Got some beer on my way back :sunglasses:



The forum design is kind of scattered IMO so you have to find the pockets where there's an existing community who will welcome. I also didn't really feel connected to this place until i came to kitchen sink and found these lovely folks.
Yes, it is kind of fragmented but such is the nature of the beast. I think people tend to feel more connected as they get to know others with whom their core beliefs and attitudes align.

Thanks for the advice and glad you can relate. It is scattered, isn't it? Glad I came to the Kitchen Sink today. I'm beginning to feel connected!

Mmm... do you think it would be appropriate to post in off topic asking for plumbing advice? There are SO Many people on here someone has to be a plumber.

I don't think I've been out of the house since the new year started.

Edit: actually, that's not entirely true. I think I went out once for lunch with somebody. But I haven't gone out of the house on my own since the new year started.
I'm going out for the first time on Tuesday. It's boob squeeze day!!!

I only came on here last October and I can tell you it feels to me like the entire atmosphere of the board has changed in just those few months. I think it's because a lot of people who were here then have left in one way or another. It felt different when Stan & BPD_LE & others were here. I miss them, as I know lots of people on here do. :aw:

Now it seems there's a whole new group of people on the board and a lot of them I can't seem to relate to. And a lot of them come through here so quickly that you don't even have a chance to get to know them. They show up & a week later, they have a goodbye thread, which I don't understand. How can you only spend a week researching and then make a goodbye thread? I know some people are lurkers and they come on here only after they found their method and so forth, but some people I don't even know who they are until I see their goodbye thread.

Yeah, and I admit, originally if things hadn't been like a find a method, it needing things, I would've been a here-gone within a week... but things changed...
Kind of glad actually. Even if not planning on it. At least I met people that regardless makes things a bit nicer.

and as @Jean4 said, some are fake, but still, just going with the assumption they aren't all.

What is it with all the plumbing problems?! I just had a plumber at my house earlier this week. @Jean4 had plumbing problems, and there was someone else on here that had plumbing problems too though I can't remember who it is right now. What's up with that?!

Like others have said... wouldn't hurt... it's off topic.. someone might have an idea, retired, or even know one or be able to direct you.

I had a plumber over (twice) a few weeks ago. When it rains, it pours!

:) to be honest i am also pretty new here, but everyone in this thread seems nice. i'll ask people questions about themselves and they're usually very open and friendly.

Which brings me to my next point - what brings you to SS? what else can you tell us about yourself.

I miss them too. A lot. We had fun.
I've found it hard to connect to others too after everything changed. But I'm trying. I believe BPD_LE would want me to try.
People are on here for different reasons and even those reasons change overtime. I came here to learn how to kill myself. I lurked and joined to ask specific questions. Then went away as my life imploded. Then came back as it imploded even further. I made friends, lost them, made more, lost them too. It all ebbs and flows.
Some people stick around awhile for support or socialisation. Some learn what they need, get support and then go.
Personally, I hate seeing all the pain and suffering. I know what it's like to have no one listen so ss is great to be listened to. I love hearing people's opinions on stuff and I enjoy having my views challenged.
I never, ever imagined I'd end up here after all my travels and adventures. Such an odd place. A weird microcosm of the world with most of its delusions stripped away.

That's a perfect description of this place. I would really hope at some point in the future the creators and moderators of this place are going to be viewed as visionaries and pioneers because I think that's what they are. They've given a community of people who had no voice and nowhere to turn a place to go to and express themselves without fear of reprisal. I can't imagine anything more deserving of an award than that. For all the lipservice a lot of people in the real world pay to giving voice to the voiceless, there are still many groups that are shunned and have no voice. This is one of those groups that the real world just doesn't even have any interest in giving a voice to.

That's very true. But I can appreciate the difficulty they have and why it's not talked about. The perception is that talking about suicide normalises it and can make some more likely to attempt. So it is suppressed. I don't think it's that straightforward but I can understand the fear over just how to deal with something that by definition, is a situation where people are failing to cope.

That's pretty interesting. Do you have a sense of the kinds of things you feel like you can't relate to them about?

I also have similar feelings but i'm curious what yours are.

I HATE that part. Apparently, I have very tender breasts and I hate it when they squeeze them between those plates. Plus they always make you hold your breath for a really long time. I just hate the whole process. I'd rather get breast cancer at this point.
I think the last mammogram I got was in 2018 and that was after not getting one for several years, even though breast cancer runs in my family and killed my mom and my sister. And apparently one of my other sisters had it when she died, though that's not what killed her. Her car got slammed into by a semi. She died instantly.

What's odd is I just kinda naturally just ended up in this group... without even looking or trying. I have no clue how it happened!

Wait.. maybe I do... chance of a pm sent to me, that I was too afraid to send a pm to them first.

wait, hold breath for a long time? I only have to hold it for a short time, longer now that it's mandatory 3d. takes longer for positioning than the actual thing itself.
