WHY ARE YOU ON THIS SITE

[StarryStarry]

I've thought long and hard about writing this post, but I feel I need to in order to avoid anyone else getting hurt. I became a "member" of SS a while back. My purpose was to find other people who felt the same way I did - depressed and suicidal. Sadly, I'm worse off now than I was before. Not because of SS, but there are some people who come onto this site for the wrong reason and the end result is someone getting hurt. I'm not going to go into detail because I am so hurt I just can't talk about it, but please don't come on this site to use other people for your own enjoyment - it's hurtful and it pushes people over the edge. If you have anything ugly to say please don't. I can't handle it at this point in time.

Whatever happened, I'm really sorry. It's sad that there's so many predators on this site, you have to be a really sick person to take advantage of someone who's already emotionally broken.

I agree - I was so happy and then realized why this individual had done what he had done. It's left me demoralized and I hate myself just that much more.

 

[RainAndSadness]

I'm sorry you've made that experience here. I've sent you a DM!

Unfortunately there are people who come here with bad intentions to prey on the most vulnerable.

It's horrible that even on a site like this we can get taken advantage of. Humans can be so dark inside. Sending you strength

Thank you. I'm so humiliated I hate myself for this.

 

[Sleeper System]

I just want to be around people who hurt like I hurt. I hope to some day be strong enough to ctb but until then... I need this place to have somewhere to go and to be heard. Anyone who takes advantage of this community needs to be stopped.

 

[adesertrose]

Thank you. I'm so humiliated I hate myself for this.

The only person who should feel humiliated is the one who stooped so low and is so unkind that it needed to do something awful to feel something. You have done nothing wrong. Let's just hope that they will regret what they did.

I came here to meet people who felt like I do.

That is the purpose of this site. That's why I came here. The majority of people here are true and honest souls. There are some who come for the wrong reason and hurt other people by reading their stories and using their pain against them.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Horrible people out there.

Agree, but you can always block people here if you find them objectionable

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I like having a place I can inconsequentially rant about stuff, especially about how awful I am without too much judgment.

 

[StarryStarry]

Agree, but you can always block people here if you find them objectionable

The damage is done.

The damage is already done.

Please hate the hurtful person who did this to you and try to be a loving friend to yourself.

 

[Idontmatter]

I'm so sorry that this person hurt you. This site has been like therapy for me. I've leaned a lot on here

I came here partly to learn about methods to lessen pain and increase reliability as the main purpose, but chatting with others in similar situations helps to lessen pain some. Also I am completely pro choice, but when people have shown signs of hope I have encouraged this. A couple of people I have chatted with have changed their minds and they have been able to get their lives back on traclk and I was told that I helped some with this. Several people I chatted with did ctb, and a couple of these appreciated the chance to talk about things before they left. Of course there have been some differences of opinion here and some people get upset if your opinion is not the same as theirs- these discussions, mainly in Offftpoic, at least help to pass the time some until I can get my life ready for the best time to ctb, which is likely in the next three months.

 

[Riddle]

I came here to learn how to die, I stayed because it is nice to be around other people suffering and feel a sense of community.

 

[TheBroken]

Being free to be open on any platform comes with some inherent vulnerability - saddened you were hurt in some manner.

 

[WorthlessTrash]

I came to find possible peaceful methods to die from, and relating to others in a judgment free zone is a plus.

 

[Bedrock48]

I came here, kinda hilariously, because of the pro-lifers. I had some bookmarks of threads I liked to look through but never felt like I needed an account. Then the url used during that time was taken down and all those bookmarks were obsolete. After some panicking I found a new link on Reddit and decided it'd be safer to just make an account I'll always have.

Then I stayed for the people and conversations.

 

[may13]

Initially came here to refine my plan. That was done quite some time ago. I spend most of my time here now because in a way it is the closest I've felt to "normal" in a very long time.

Maybe it's pain shopping. Maybe it's the closest I can come to feeling anymore.

 

[downndone2]

I'm sorry that happened to you.

 

[NearlyIrrelevantCake]

I'm sorry you've been hurt by someone, especially on SS where we should be able to be safe from that.

I came here to find working CTB methods after almost 20 years of failed attempts.

 

[Slimetae]

The methods and to rant but damn people out here hurting people they know are already hurt sorry that happened to u…

 

[CrossroadsCurious]

NYT post, felt a connection, exploring my darker thoughts from my failed marriage. Site interest comes and goes, but glad it's here.

 

[Achlys]

Where else can I talk openly about suicide without fear of being locked up or being subjected to empty platitudes?

 

[RubyGloom]

i'm so sorry you went through that here for you if you ever want to talk / vent

 

[sandalphon]

I'm not suicidal, just here to read up on methods.

Agree, but you can always block people here if you find them objectionable

This is why it's a bad idea to form any attachments in this forum. It's a great resource on suicide methods, but a terrible place to make friends.
