How different is our experience of SaSu depending on which sub-forum we spend the most time in?

I don't visit suicide discussion regularly anymore. It makes me too sad. And I lost people on here and I don't want to go through the same again.

There was a time I switched between recovery and suicide discussion.

Now is the compromise I spend most of the time in off-topic. I am not positive enough to engage in recovery threads.

I feel comfortable in off-topic. I think this forum is still unique because the people are very caring, compassionate and we can talk about very stigmatized topics. There are also a lot of members that I like in off-topic.

Hey, i joined this forum mostly for the Recovery section, to have a place where i could share my thoughts and feelings, then found out Off-Topic too and sometimes use it for the games haha, and now started using the Make A Friend thread. Suicide discussion really made me sad, thats why since i joined after checking it a little bit i chose to have that category hidden. Besides that personal thing, its been a good experience!

Im mostly active in suicide discussion and try to "help" people with my knowledge of methods i have from here and other suicide manuals.

When i joined i was also active in recovery as i was in the mental headspace to write my thoughts out and maybe help with my opinion on some matters that people cared about. I dont come there anymore as im not fitted to help others other than general knowledge.

As for the difference between the both its really only that in recovery there is some hope left. Suicide discussion is abit more nihilistic than recovery but alot of opinions are very similar between the both.

The only place thats alot more relaxed without constant suffering and despair in it is off-topic and thats where for someone like me who doesnt plan to ctb in the near future the site lets you have some non-suicidal based interactions. All the people i remember well and like are from here and its for sure the nicest of the 3(4) we have here
