So much for preventionism... this site does a lot more than socalled hotlines or whatever... definitely more harm reduction for sure!

For real...

Also the lies about this website journalists and youtubers say make my blood boil, that fucking video has over 5 million views, most of the comments calling him "brave"...for what? exposing a vulnerable niche community to 5 million people?!

I didn't even realize how much I was repressing my emotions until I got here. Lying that I'm okay is so second nature to me that it took a while to get used to not doing it here. It's nice, though.

I completely agree. I feel we've all come here at the ends of our rope in various ways, for various reasons. It seems that in coming to openly discuss the taboo subject of ctb we've unlocked being able to openly discuss just about anything. Since we're all feeling the pain of living we have so much compassion for others that feel the same, be it for very different reasons.

In the typical preventative model we're not able to speak freely. I def feel this pushes people to violent or insufficient methods that bring more suffering.

Before I came here I had a lot of issues around impulsive ctb urges. I was scared of them and overwhelmed by them when they came up. This community has been helpful in reducing that for me. My recovery involves understanding I need to plan more before I can act.

This open discussion helps people understand how difficult it is to get all the pieces of a plan together. We can discuss our fears and concerns. I feel for many this helps us not immediately kill ourselves. Real harm reduction.

Reminds me of this quote:

Absolutely, in my own short experience with this forum, I've received more understanding and support then anywhere else on the internet.

This site isn't perfect but it's still better than most places out there so I'll take it. It's sort of relieving to have a place to vent about my life as well as my blackpill related views
