What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and this site was gone?

The ironic fact it that this site is keeping me alive. First time I feel heard

That would be terrible. I would feel abandoned like a child.

I feel connected and understood here with a topic that no one else understands and which is far too difficult for most people. Here I am giving voice to the side of me that feels drawn to suicide. And because I don't completely suppress this side of me, it is currently calm in everyday life and not annoying.

I think I would search a new site.

Honestly me?--I'd probably be just fine, I stopped being really being suicidal at all December 20th after all.

But I would genuinely wonder about how all the other people I know on this site are doing. Maybe I should establish alternate contact methods with them to chat with them if SaSu ever goes down. Not sure.

But I would certainly remember many of the people I've spoken to on this site, and all the interesting conversations and muses on life that have been shared here.

I am confident this place is more than just a place to document people's suffering, but to truly explore what certain natures of life are; with no restriction whatsoever. And I think in that regard, this place is truly valuable. Many interesting thoughts have been shared here, all of them human, I may not agree with all of them but I can at least see where they are coming from. I would certainly remember the people I've interacted with here, and hope they're doing as well as can be.

I'm so sorry I didn't mean to make you anxious. I understand though, because I did the same thing with some documents on this site, when I first found this site.

nono not at all !! i'd thought about collating certain posts before, and i'm glad i have

If it was gone I would lose all the information I need to ctb and access to a platform I can vent freely about struggles... I would just be devastated.

 

[Namelesa]

While I don't necessarily need the info for methods at the moment as I literally can't use any effective method due to my circumstances I would feel completed defeated and full of despair. This is the only place I feel like I can be comfortable to talk in and be understood. I feel like this is somehow I can partially belong in and if this was taken away from me, I would feel so alone and isolated. I would probably feel so hated and that I will never find a safe space again due to outsiders thinking we are a cult and that they see suicide as an unvalid decision. I literally can't kill myself so I am going to have to suffer either way with this site or not so taking down this site would just make me feel worse.

 

[Hojag]

Well, I'm pretty new to the forum, but I felt so light by joining - as if I could speak out things I couldn't IRL. My posts (replies) aren't visible yet, but reading comments here makes me feel, somehow, understood.

Understood in a way I even delayed my suicide scheme - and woke up feeling better!

So, yeah, I'd say it would be really sad if that happened (but I would hope for it to reborn on a new domain).

 

[Shadows From Hell]

Would definitely be heartbreaking. Only place I go to to unload my thoughts and meet people who understands what I go through without the fear of judgement.

Since I found SaSu, I haven't bothered trying to find any other suicide site. I also know there is no other site that could outdo SaSu.

 

[NegevChina]

It will make me more depressed, it will be very bad for me. Though I've already got most of the knowledge i was looking for. I can say that this site saved me from ODing, jumping and train. Probably kept me alive and safe more than I would have been with out it. I've learned of people dealing with problems very much like my own, felt I was not alone in this world. I hope this site will be up much longer than me.

 

[kitia973]

This is why I download pdfs of resources and information. I wouldn't be surprised, seeing how negatively this site is viewed by mainstream media.

Same, I feel less alone here. And it's the only place I've found so much information and support.

 

[shrizoid]

No warning whatsoever, what if Sasu was taken down all of a sudden? Your sasu friends and posts wiped out for good. All the information on methods you read about, gone for good. The chat you're used to participating in, gone away. So how would you react? What would you do if you lost this community? Is sasu a big part of your life?

I'd probably feel an immense sense of dread as this is the only place that I can talk about topics like these

 

[LostLily]

I would be even more sad and lonely. However, a new site will raise from its ashes because there will always be suicidal people. And as long as being suicidal is so stigmatized we will always seek to the internet for understanding. This is what happened when the ASH forums got shut down

 

[FoxSauce]

Tbh dunno but I would be like

"Well shit"

I love this site tbh, but if would come to to that. I'll cry. :)

I've heard other sources that many people wanna take this down, tbh I hope they don't succeed
