  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

How do you respond when people say "but you are so loved and have so much to live for!"

I hear that alot. It's kind of a generic statement used by therapists and family.

It doesn't really matter if you're loved by a few other people if you hate yourself and feel like shit 24/7.

My family say this to me all the time!!! I just say "try telling my brain that" and they never have a reply.

I guess they have so much to live for and assume it is the same for everyone else.
Congratulate them on their good fortune.

I never actually respond with anything in order to avoid an argument, but I think to myself, how dimly they understand my feelings, and how hopeless it seems that they'll ever understand.

YES. It is such a specific feeling of being misunderstood.

i just accept it and say "you're right" or "i love you too" or something along those lines.

it's a ridiculous statement, though, because i don't exist for anybody. i don't have to live because they'd "miss" me when i'm gone. they don't know the true me, they only have their own idea of me. that's what they love - who they think i am, not who i actually am.

Ha! That's kind of my reaction too. When I hear that, I just hear them telling me they have no idea who I am at all. Phony caring

Me too. I'm not a fan of conflict, so I tend to go under the radar and keep to myself. Things might not end well if I reveal myself for who I really am.
