Venting r/SuicideWatch should be renamed to r/ProLifersUnite

[YourLocalEdgelord]

Because that's exactly what they do. But why? Are they that desperate to feel important? Do they have a savior complex? I understand that some of them genuinely wanna help and don't know how. But the comments there go WAY beyond that.

Them: "Go to therapy"
Us: "We've tried, didn't help"
Them: "Clearly didn't find the right one then?"
Us: "After literally 20 different therapists, I don't think the right one exists."
Them: "That's your fault! Therapists can do no wrong!!!"

Them: "Have you tried anti-depressants?"
Us: "Yes, so many that even my psychiatrist feels helpless."
Them: "That can't be! There's this one very obscure drug that no one has heard of before. Try it!"
Us: "Did I mention the horrible side effects?"
Them: "Oh, those? Worth it, lol."
Us: "Did you know that the chemical imbalance argument is actually an uncommon -"
[You have been permanently banned from the following subreddits: r/suicidewatch, r/antidepressants, r/*insert name of prescribed drug*, r/therapy, r/psychiatry, r/lgbt(???)]

Them: "But what about your family? You will hurt them if you leave!"
Us: "They make me want to ctb in the first place"
Them: DOWNVOTE

Them: "I will help you. I love you and care about you."
Us: "You know absolutely nothing about me."
Them: "Noooo nooo, I can tell you are a great person, just message me!"
Us: (Message them)
Them: BLOCKED

And many more examples. This forum restored my sanity. Thanks to all who keep this place alive and running.

Agreed, reddit is garbage when it comes to suicide.

 

[BadVibes]

we need a slur for people who just spam the suicide hotline number or chalk it all down to "needing therapy"

I think that word already exists: normies. They're OBSESSED with therapy and that stupid hotline, and can't comprehend how those things don't magically make people not suicidal anymore.

reddit users like to let out nice, sweet words just to feel like they've accomplished something at the end of the day, it's braindead.

also people who 'try' to help you just so they dont feel guilty or at fault if you ctb

or when you're gone, people will be like 'oh i wish they talked to me!' but when you do, they say some dumb shit like above lmao

I don't know why they tend to deny the obvious so often, more akin to crabs in a bucket than anything, just dismissive and unwilling to accept the issues at hand

I heard that there was a time when sasu existed on Reddit , is that true ?

Yh I've meant some decent pro lifers on there but im ngl majority of the kinds of ppl r just trying to give themselves a pat on the back & a feel good moment for themselves by targeting suicidal ppl


I dont deny some of their intentions might be genuine but it's weird asf thay they only target suicidal ppl with this kind of vigilantism where they could also give their support to ppl on abuse survivor subreddits for example

 

[Terrible_Life]

Yes

How was that possible? I mean nowadays I think everything about suicide is hugely censored as if suicide would be the biggest crime a person could do ….. unbelievable and then those bastards wonder why suicidal people isolate themself ofc they do when the whole topic is being censored so extremely and whenever someone might open himself to a therapist or even to his family he risks ending up in psych ward.

 

[jerkbybile]

it genuinely feels like there's no one on reddit who actually puts enough thought into their replies to say anything meaningful. they all spit out the same "solutions", even if you have already mentioned you have tried them. it's like they just want to feel helpful rather than actually be helpful. then they'll say you aren't "actually trying to get better" when you say anything to even imply their advice hasn't worked for you personally.

Reddit til this day allows gore subreddits.

Back then, underage abuse material was also allowed and thrived

Reddit nowadays just picks and chooses what extremes they allow

 

[Spite]

They're like that because if you post a thread on r/SuicideWatch talking about how unbearable life is and how much mental agony you're in, that's not le heckin wholesome Big Chungus Keanu Reeves 100, you see?
