Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

Literally the only people I talk to are my parents, sister, brothers occasionally and people online and colleagues from work . How do you cope? It truly sucks and is lonely.

Yes, I can't talk in confidence about suicide with anyone I know personally. It sucks a lot but at least I can communicate with likeminded individuals on this site. Fuck the people trying to censor this place, making it harder for people like us to find some community and not feel so isolated.

It's the same case for me, I only talk to my family and people online. I don't think I have coped? Like all I do is let the days go past me while I lay in bed watching movies on Netflix. Feeling lonely is truly one of the most awful feelings to exist.

I only talk to my dad, nephew, brother and students in real life.
Then, I have lots of online friends who really make things easier for me and I don't feel neither alone nor lonely, especially thanks to the lovely people I've met here on SS.

I talk to my family, but I choose to isolate myself. All the friends I had in real life, I'm not in contact with anymore. People are just disappointing and exhausting in my opinion.

I have 1 childhood friend who still reaches out to me but i know he does it out of pity and probably feels sorry for me. i'm still thankful that he takes the time to contact me.
I speak with my Mum once a week, usually small talk as i know it would hurt her if she knew just how i'm truly feeling.
Sometimes talk to my brothers but it's usually when they think somethings up/checking up on me.
I don't talk to colleagues outside of work.
All in all, super super lonely. I think it helps with ideation as it makes the thought of leaving much easier.
On occasion i ring samaritans, and funnily enough i actually enjoy having someone to talk too. their always super compassionate so that's nice.
I don't talk to anyone about my issues. Gave up trying to explain why I feel that way and they end up twisting my words or putting words in my mouth that I didn't say. Or the "just need to pull up your bootstraps son". Not even my wife knows my issues, to her I'm just a smiling, happy, fellow.

I have a fraction of my mother. And the rest is hell fury or neglect/apathy.
So that's about it.
I've tried being open and reaching out/dropping lines to others before, and it never ends well for me, it's like sticking my foot into a bear trap.
Plus, it's amazing that the suffering person who has nothing to look forward to but death, is the same person expected to make the first move in getting their own loved ones, nevermind anyone else, to notice them and acknowledge their pain.
And then when they do they receive the equivalent of "shut your mouth" or hands over the ears.
I swear the people around me whine like babies but also live in a fairy tale, where my life or lack thereof, is seen as a monstrous beast encroaching upon their privileged, ignorant wonderland.
And as for fellow sufferers, outside of this site, I have previously talked at length with a few people but both our situations eventually clash, it's very difficult to expect two people who are in a world of pain to support one another, even if they're the only ones who could remotely understand the other's woes. It works for a time, but it's not stable.
Things can become outright nasty and hostile.

Yes. There have been a few individuals who have offered to listen to any of my "problems", but they were all people who I am not/were not friends with or close to, so I really did not feel comfortable expressing anything to them. Plus they would likely only offer the same generic advice that you hear from everyone else in general anyway.

Yup, literally these days I am completely alone. Maybe sometimes share with random people in support groups or post here.
For so long my supports workers were my biggest social aspect bc of how fucked life is. Now I have started over and I have no one... files close with workers...
Been really feeling the isolation these days. It hurts but I've always known this is where I wanna be to end my life soo...
The rest of this yr is gonna be hard to get through but I'm pretty set on ending my life by fall/early winter.

I use too but then I come a cross a forum that allows the open discussion about suicide without fear of judgment nor criticism. Neither witch are in any way, shape or form usefull.

When shit hits the fan, when I'm half ready to kms, I absolutely have no one to talk to. Real friends and family don't wanna hear anything, bc, well, apparently, they get really upset if they hear, that I wanna be dead. Online fiends are usually busy and have their own issues, which I absolutely understand. I rarely reach out. I don't wanna poison anyone's life and mood and simply make it worse.
so yeah. At the age of 34 I finally realized, that at the end of the day we all are very lonely.

Remember that scene in Batman Returns were Selina Kyle goes nuts in her apartment. That's how I am starting to feel. Society has fucked me over and I have made a lot of mistakes in life to. Loneliness is a killer. By the way the ones who have good family members should think themselves extremely lucky. Most of mine are gone, and I aint even 40 yet.
For me, not having emotional ties with anyone is essential to avoid going completely crazy. The feeling of loneliness was overcome with time, having sporadic conversations or monologues with strangers on the internet is more than enough.

Lately I'm only able to talk with people that I met in this forum. Feels good because I consider them friends and it's an achievement for me considering I ghost everyone from here (not on purpose but I get paralyzed idk why) but there are people irl who I would like to talk about my situation but they start to cry and act weird and I hate it. I don't feel lonely at all but sometimes I need a hug and there's no one here x)

I tried talking to a friend who's a psychologist about something I went through years ago.. Got a reply later that she needed space for today and to chat tomorrow..
cheers @ me.
and yet what I shared is only 40% of the BS in my mind. I didn't even touch the ctb part (not that I would).
the pain is real.
