What outlets did you have before SS, if any?

 

[tieiwi]

None. I forgot how I found SS I think from Reddit? Was really surprised when I first came on here. I was thinking "wow I didn't know this could be an actual thing". I thought I'd need to access the dark web or something. Either way just grateful to find a place where we can all be honest about our feelings.

Really nothing at all. SS seems the only place you can be truly open. Found it from Google ages ago.

Feel ya, have had no real outlets either. I guess you can count my ex, but I didn't want to burden her every time I felt suicidal - which was basically daily.

None. Reddit is a joke. Was pleasantly surprised when I found this.

that's what I like about SS, I don't feel like a burden. No guilt or shame or anything. It's really nice :)

I was using reddit but it's completely crap. Most of the post go unread and you can't really express your true feelings without the mods removing your post.

Funny thing is that I found this site by Google images. I was figuring out how people hung themselves and somehow I found it :).

yea the mods suck, plus there's always those people telling you to get help or whatever :/ actually i don't even know if i did find this place from reddit probably from a google search or something

Yeah I believe this is the only site where you can be truly open without judgment and not feel like you're crazy.

Idk if I would call it an outlet as such but I remember before SS I used to do the cliche thing of googling 'sui methods' etc etc. Eventually I stumbled across a long pdf of sui methods and ratings and such. I bookmarked and read it most nights before bed to comfort myself.

It was the only thing that really 'got' what I was feeling in the way the author wrote it. Still miss that pdf sometimes lol.

Reddit. My posts either never got noticed or only trolls responded. I ended up getting perma banned for trying to answer someone's question about hanging without going into any specifics.

Only good thing to come from it was someone dm ed me a link to this site (but in a pro choice sub, not rSuicideWatch).

Don't forget the edgelords telling you to kys and practically bully suicidal people for being suicidal. r/suicidewatch is a fucking joke.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

The best I could hope for was yelling at nothing and hoping no one would hear. That or trauma-dumping or angst-posting in group chats. Since joining this site, I've definitely greatly lowered my blatant self-sabotage attempts to almost nothing (only occasionally do I still lash out at ppl).

 

[StarryStarry]

I've contacted Samaritan's numerous times. They listen, do not judge and offer solutions to issues. I've appreciated them, but I've found people here who truly understand how I feel, why I want to end my life. That in itself is tremendous because after a while of people not understanding and telling me I was feeling sorry for myself, how lucky I was, how I needed to do this or that - just a bunch of shit I have finally found people who truly understand me and don't judge me.

Reddit was first, Remembered going to chem forums and asking the LD of Potassium something-that-stops-the-heart but all I got was well Reddit shenanigans, "I am a genius this, you're dumb that."

I also thought I found it from reddit, but that could be a false memory. I'm pretty sure most of us got desperate and went where no one else has ventured... The second page of Google search dun dun dunnn *spooky music*. Lol sorry I'm tired.

 

[Meretlein]

Sugary foods. I used to live off of cupcakes and coke.

 

[NearlyIrrelevantCake]

Nowhere that I could actually be honest about my desire to CTB.

 

[FuneralCry]

Nothing really. Over the years, my way of dealing with the suffering has been to try and sleep as much as possible. I wish I could sleep forever and never have to experience anything again.
