Is there anyone here who's starting to feel like coming to SS is pointless?

[seekingoblivion]

It's great that there's this place where there're all these amazing people who I can share this darkness with. But right now whenever the loneliness amplifies and I wanna log on I get on here and feel this is pointless. As with everything else. I'm so tired of of existing I just want out but I can't figure out how to do it and it's so fucking frustrating.

Yeah you know what your right reading your post makes me realize that I shouldn't even have read it. LOL Just kidding.

That is the way depression feels. Like nothing is meaningful. On the other hand many people like coming here, it gives them some sort of solace, a retreat where they can vent without judgement. A place where they can talk about their dark side. Personally I like coming here often. But I can see why some people would get bored with it soon.

It kinda feels like that. But, I got some informations from this forum and I want to contribute as well. Information exchange takes a very important place for me.

When im real down yeah. I don't wanna get om here just wanna he alone completely.

But when it's not TOO bad this place is my safe zone.

This is my facebook now..

yes there should be set methods listed. its becoming a coping forum/social media site

 

[TAW122]

Not at all. I enjoy this place as I like to contribute to the discussion and also help others' when it comes to methods (especially firearms) and also, given my small recovery since earlier this month, I see myself as a pro-choice advocate, or someone who pushes for pro-choice and want to advance that.

It helps to get me out of my head. talking to people, scrolling etc

I agree with you sometimes when I see threads about viagra and weed and sex and smoking challenges. As well as those who feel like toying with their death rather than refer to the resources and be logical.
But as for the "coping" part, sometimes people feel good to come here and have others ask about them and receive love.

i fully agree.
I just feel like some threads are some stupid they make me turn off the browser. for example, "cab i microwave my head".

lol when u edited your post i edited my emote, from "like" to "haha".
I logged off SS the day that thread was created as soon as I realised it was a legit question being put forward to us and I think I laughed for a good 10 minutes a few days later when I saw them argue it being possible. Apparently all you need to do is cut a hole. We've all been duped.

 

[ArtsyDrawer]

It's the only place I can open up compared to other places. Sure, I can post on Facebook, but I'll be either dismissed as a suicidal nut at best, or get in an argument about how suicide affects feminism (excuse me, what?), and how it's a selfish thing fueled by "the patriarchy".
And then someone will send me their likes and prayers.
Prayers don't fund surgeries.
Another friend of mine is having a rough time on her own because her ex is a manipulative asshole who needs to be shot.
Here is ironically happier.

Hol' up!
I speculated it would work out assuming it superheats water inside the brain and causes it to explode. Are you saying microwaving one's head is a legit method?

 

[Koal]

When I first joined this site it was when I was researching methods, I've decided on SN now and I'm just waiting on shipping, so I just come here now to see if there are any threads I can post in.

Yeah that's why I started coming here too. It's an awesome place. It's just right now everything is feeling so empty and I come here looking for some of what you've listed above but I get here and feel so empty and lonely still.

 

[KiraLittleOwl]

It helps me to feel less alone when suicidal ideations overwhelming me wich is more often when I want to admit.
I can't speak about it with anyone else. Medical professionals just write it down in their computer and that's it. I can't share it with my SO because I don't want to traumatize her even more and with relatives because I know they are absolutely not equipped to deal with it.

I like the people of this community. It's certainly a very remote spot on the internet - and the internet is huge! -, but it's not like people here commit crimes against other people. We are here because we suffer and because we seek ways to end this suffering. This is a very justified endevour and certainly is a right of every human on this planet. It's your life and only you can decide what to do with it.

I can also relate to what you said about this being pointless. Well, whatever bio-chemical imbalance we deal with, this forum can't cure it. Maybe science, some sort of medication/drugs or other interventions can - or maybe nothing currently can! -, but the main job of this forum is to let you know that you are not alone and that there is a way out, even if it's an exit.

I have used the ignore feature for a few users. It helps

 

[Partial-Elf]

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, SS is helpful for methods and recognizing that there are others who feel the same way.

On the other, many of the threads are redundant or are not thought provoking.

 

[waived]

I've had some pretty good discussions in private message.

 

[Jodes]

It's good for trying to help people feel better

 

[Nichols]

Reading that some users have successfully CTB'd is an inspiration of sorts -shows that it can be done, difficult as it is.

You don't need to come here for that. The truth is a huge number of people in the world commit suicide, many of them without having had or sought enough help, and many choosing awful methods that cause serious disabilities. If course it can be illegal which has a lot of consequences
