This is a pro-choice forum, not a pro-suicide forum

[M]

This is a pro-choice forum, not a pro-suicide forum. I think sometimes that gets lost in everything that is posted here. I don't believe anyone is going around actively going around encouraging people to commit suicide. If you do find someone that is going around preying on users on this forum, you can either PM me or any other staff member and we will take care of that person as soon as possible.

We don't tolerate that type of behavior on this website. Anyone doing anything as I have described above will be removed from the website.

We help and support those that are looking for information to end their life. As the forum description states:

Sanctioned Suicide is a forum to discuss mental illness and suicide from the perspective of suicidal people, as well as the moral implications of the act itself.

There are some pro-life forum approaches, which would be nice to have along side the resources thread? Pro choice shoukd mean that! But if someone gets immersed in this site atm, it can feel even more like there are not as many ways out.

I am actually creating a website that will serve this function. It discusses all things regarding life but will start from the ground up. 6 feet under to be exact. So suicide from all perspectives, research, euthanasia, but then we will talk about all things that tie into it which is arguably everything. So socioeconomics, personal events such as trauma, laws, etc. Very humanistic.

Hopefully the platform will equip people with information and cognition to live their life as they choose. It is community oriented so contribution is encouraged. It also aims to give voice to people that usually don't have one or are only caricatured in pop culture.

Finally, there will be no method info on the site since it can be found elsewhere and it is not the main purpose. In a sense, if you think of this place and similarities places as a yin, that place would be yang.

I appreciate this post. This website does feel very pro-suicide at times, which is why I also have an account with the Suicide Forum. One website for my negative hopelessness and one website for working on getting better. Though I definitely support having more resources here on how to feel less suicidal

SanctionedSuicide is what you make of it.
Some are here only to find a suicide partner, some register just to have excess to the extensive resources, and we have some members who like to talk with like-minded people about depression and suicide without being judged.
Take me as an example, the day before I joined SS I was extremely suicidal. Waking up and having to go through my day was torture. I was soo alone. I do have friends and family. But I can't talk to them about suicide and my inner feelings in fear of being check-in into a mental hospital.
But since I joined SS, my days are filled with some purpose and joy. Here, I meet and interact with like-minded sufferers. I can help others with words of encouragement and offer tips and tricks on how I dealt with a problem and vice versa. To me, SS is actually therapeutic for my soul. Today, one month after I joined SS, I am still in pain (my problems obviously aren't disappearing and my depression isn't something I can lose overnight). However, I feel much better now, thanks to this community. Also, I feel more prepared in case I choose to end my life.

Potentially it depends. I have been mistaken for another psychopomp. But if I am one and the same I hope our time together was enjoyable. If I am not, then it is nice to meet you.

It was enjoyable (that sounds bad)
Either way - Nice to see you again/Nice to meet you too.

I think that if someone asked from users all of them would say that they wish nobody would have to ctb but would get health and happiness in their life instead. Also I bet if there was a survey that do people here think that people who don't have 100% hopeless situation like terminal disease with untolerable pain with 0% change to survive should in your opinion try all resources to get life better that most or all of here would say that they think they should do try to get better life instead.

I have found that me and others are really afraid that others than dieing will read these forums. I really myself that I talked with person with terminal disease in public forum of resources and not PM her.
Though general discussion of euthanasia ways is found in many places ( all the info can be gotten in euthanasia sites, from published news, articles etc). Many talk about it because they are just interested about the subject and aren't going to use it. We all get very old and sick one day and it's interesting to know what old, sick and dieing people who don't have euthanasia in their country have done to get it.

In this forum we don't know who we talk to. If someone discuss with only people with terminal disease and have one he/she can forget that in public forum others read it. Dieing must think it positively. And it hurts them when people say to them how happy life can be since they have no change in this life to get it.

So I think that there should be own thread to people with terminal disease and old people who live with terrible pain and are dieing anyways.

But I'm disappointed when I see people who are going to ctb for any reason getting angry when they get prolife messages. Others can't know their situation and theythey try to help somehow if his message make others think he wants some kind of help here since we all know that people don't encourage others to ctb. Only wish for things to get better for them.

But people who work on this site have read much more than me. I have read maybe 1% of messages so I'm sure they are right that there is a problem.

Can there be made forum here for old, sick and people who are dieing with terminal disease? It would be good for them to get peer support.

Those who want to ctb for other reasons can make their own thread or PM together if they don't want advices to get better life and wishes that things were different because me and many others will give that if we get impression that they seek some help here.

I have seen many who say they want to ctb because of some mean persons, having no friends, having low self-esteem,self hate, not having any love in life etc. when they clearly just want a friend with who to talk to about their situation and try to find ways to fix their life for better. And me and allall oth have been there to listen and support them to live in those threads.

I think some people tend to think especially not on here if you are not against suicide you are pro suicide due to American policy on suicide being based on magical thinking rather than what the science shows. You are not allowed to die until the last possible second(90% of hospital cost is spent on end of life care) because our death policy is based on that monotheistic value that our life belongs to God-your life is always worth it and if not you are crazy. Even though their the ones claiming you go to eternal paradise after you die. This isn't surprising though becuase studies show religious and non religious people are just as good. Teen pregnancy rates are near the same, drug usage, helping the poor and whatever other metric you want to use. Why is this? Believe in the Divine or humanity by non religious or whatever else is a delusional tool to strengthen relations, it's lets you kill other tribe, demonize them without feeling as bad, feel superior, and whatever else. Makes you feels human are special even though science says we are not. Ie its a good thing to keep animal conditions terrible even though they could easily be improved and in many ways animals brains are the same as ours in the areas people consider to make like working living like happiness, bonds etc.

It's a shame people who are literally not suicidal in the slightest choose to do "research" here and don't know how to tow the pro-choice line very well but I think things are looking up!

I always found myself terribly annoyed by grammar nazis, but can't help myself, I will admit to the hypocrisy and beg for forgiveness, but the phrase is "toe the line". Bit interesting etymology actually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toe_the_line

Also love the username. I can't explain why exactly, but I think it's one of the coolest names in mythology.

Fun fact, I actually considered this before I typed it and assumed "tow" would just make more sense, so I at least thought about it ;) I just skimmed over that and that is kind of interesting, not only a misspelling but also an egg corn LOL

Hey, sorry for taking one of the coolest names, it was actually just after the cute wolfie from dark souls but now I shall have to do some reading

 

[Janica333]

Can someone start a thread to dieing people? There they can speak openly with peers about anything for example how they wish they could live (pro life talk ;)), or talk about how great it is to die without being afraid that some teens read it and are influenced (in reality teenagers can lie and take part in any euthanasia site but that's unpreventable for us). I mean people who have months or few years to live, maybe less, have to accept eventually that they die no matter what and think positively about it.
