  • 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].

For me, never again. Unless it's a private institution.

Was a very bad experience, the rules, the food, all the meds that left me drooling, countless hours in front of a TV set, something I dont do at home. Sorry about your bad experience also.

I'm so sad to see this many people being failed by the system. I suppose I was lucky; nothing really changed for me when I went, but at least it didn't make me feel worse.

The worst I felt was after leaving a psychward. Pretty sure theres a statistic that upon leaving the ward people are much more likely to CTB.

My stay was miserable. Most of the staff there were insufferable dullards. Some, though well-meaning, attempted to convert me to Christianity as a treatment approach. I had to partake in "sensory" groups where we listened to Native American flute music and did pointless exercises. I had no access to my phone. A deranged old man would keep the entire ward up at night with his prolonged screaming fits. I was put on a drug that gave me a severe allergic reaction and nobody there believed that I was actually in pain. One nurse went so far as to shout at me when I begged her for assistance in alleviating my physical suffering.

This was my first time being sectioned. It was at the same hospital that I was taken to via ambulance after my attempt. I ended up attending another program shortly thereafter which was slightly more tolerable but ultimately proved to be worthless.

I have PTSD from the whole ordeal.

Was in a private institution for 2-3 weeks November/December last year.

I feel I am almost back to where I was before I went into hospital. I honestly don't think such a short hospital stay is even worth it. I think unless it's a month, it's not really going to help.

I am better somewhat because of a change in meds and not using alcohol. If I use alcohol I will absolutely deteriorate and end up in A&E or the ground.
