There's nothing left to discuss on here

[N7_Alliance_Marine]

It's just the same threads over and over again. This is how every thread goes on Suicide Discussion

Person A: "I'm suicidal."
Person B: "Your choice to kill yourself or not"

And no one goes through with it most of the time (which is a definitely a good thing) but my point is what is there left to discuss? If I talk about how I feel, no one clearly gives a shit since thousands of other users have expressed the same feelings as me. They'll just write the same half-assed response and move onto the next thread where they write yet another half-assed response.

 

[opheliaoveragain]

I hear your frustration but I disagree. there's a lot of nuance and good discourse on this side of the forum as well, im sorry that hasn't been your personal experience

Same thing happened to me. What you have to do is scroll over to the left side of your screen and click the chat button. It'll pop up our conversation. Another options is to click the green bubble on the top right of the screen next to search bar.

I see what you mean now. I'm fucking stupid, sorry.

What did you expect really?

Even if the posts might seem repetitive to you, for many this is the only place where they can openly say "I'm suicidal". So as "bland" as that statement may seem to you, it can be hella cathartic for them to be able to just say it.

As far as the "half assed" responses… what else is there to say? Whenever someone expresses doubt or describes a problem, people are quick to offer more substantial support, brainstorm solutions, etc…. but when the person is not offering those details, people offer support without prying into it, which sounds vague.

I'm not sure what reactions you were expecting to see here…. Personally, I live in a permanent state of anhedonia, burn out and cynicism. Aliens could land right in front of me right now and they might get a small nod as a reaction, because that's all I have the energy for. Lol

i really doubt it, u were passionate enough to type plenty on a topic unrelated to you directly, a true drained cynic would neglect interaction here as it worth the brainpower

That's because I'm procrastinating cleaning the house.

This place is extremely repetitive, and many of the mature, thoughtful posters that we once had have moved on.

 

[-nobodyknows-]

I don't know too much about your situation, but in my case the reason I post here is because I have no where else to turn to. I would much rather speak to someone in person about it, but I can't.

Honestly, I kind of miss the what I like to call the "sserafim era" where she was posting a lot of threads all the time. Made this place a lot more entertaining. Now it's all just the same shit being repeated over and over again (which I'm also kind of guilty of, ngl).

The point is it allows people to express their pain and their desire to suicide, even if a lot can't go through with it. There is nowhere else like this, in real life or on the internet, as suicide is a forbidden subject. Quite a few do go through with "the final act", whether you see that as positive or negative; the "forbidden subject" is given a space for people who might otherwise be completely alone to share a very scary experience. So "the same threads over and over" is fine if it helps people. What do you expect, suicidal people to be more entertaining?

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Yeah, well, a lot of people here are venting about their situation because this is the only place to do that. I don't think anybody is venting for entertainment reasons

 

[LostSoul1965]

Everyone has a choice. People on here can post how they feel and get support when there is no place else to turn to. This is a wonderful community with lot's of great people. Many of whom have passed. If one feels the content is redundant and not entertaining then you have the choice whether to log on or not.

I'm sure we can figure out someway to spin mundane topics of existence into meaningless conversation!

hey there...

*hugs*

i get how youre feeling...i think

i've posted an introduction thread on the private sub forum, talkin about my story etc but, after a whole week, n several views, i havent goten a single reply...

the only reason i came here, was to share my experiences, thoughts n feelings, in the hopes that some people might relate with me, since i cant seem to relate w anybody IRL

n yet, things just go as they go sometimes...

theres a weird mix of numbness, i guess, n awkard feelings idk

ive tried figuring it out but, i truly cant make much sense of it

so i've decided to start a diary, but this time on the public forum

n in there, ill just be posting whatever i feel like, how my day went, how im feeling etc

i dont have much time left so, it kinda helps w the attitude, yknow? of not giving much of a fuck, that is

of what or how people might think or react

i just wanna share things, whats on my mind

not expecting much, tbh

but... its good, that way

not expecting reactions n all

ive long realised that, we truly cant depend on anybody, for anything, in this god forsaken world...

at the very end, we'do be so, so very lucky to have somebody there w us, as we CTB but, the vast majority of us simply dies alone

n ido even say that, we'do probly prefer it that way

so...

feelings sometimes, are hard to connect to, or reply to but...

hey, express yourself, even if it falls on deaf ears

its quite funny, actually...

whatever we seek in this community...

the bottom line is, we're still seeking connections, n connections are a part of *life*

n yet, most of us a only looking for solace...

huh...

mixed feelings, thoughts

the moment of resolve

set your mind straight...

Reading it back that sounded really sarcastic and condescending, just putting it out there that that was not my intention, just, uh, take out "meaningless" and the message sounds better imo, mb

Putting aside whether or not I agree with you (I don't but whatever), couldn't you say this about all of social media?!

And..
This is giving me MakeSaSuGreatAgain vibes. Shudder.

And this conversation can be had anywhere online about anything. Every major hobby/social media/sport community has a few things they are often repeated.

Uhh, that was a command, not a request.

Be entertaining, dammit!!

Aliens could land right in front of me right now and they might get a small nod as a reaction, because that's all I have the energy for. Lol

I get that kind of indifference lol! The amount of times humans have thought "...but what if, aliens actually...." sure, it's interesting at first, maybe. If aliens land down, maybe wow, maybe hi how are you, maybe how many fingers do you have?

But then imagine, other aliens land down, interrupting our first encounter. Oh... okay more aliens, and how many fingers do you have?

Then before they ask "what are fingers?" More aliens land down. Oh... so there's still more... then others land down, then others land down, then more and more. By the time the 500th new species of alien has landed down, is it really surprising? Is it really exciting anymore? It's just mundane and boring.

That's what anhedonia feels like for me too. All things are rendered mundane and not really exciting, even if it completely blows other people's minds hahaha.

 

[uglyugly]

Well, for the record, I give a shit. I see so many people on here who are so young (I'm in my mid 50s so I think anyone 30 and under is young) and some who appear to be barely over 18. And of course I am not judging anyone and can never fully understand someone else's pain, but I think to myself: my god these people have barely started in life and they want to die. And that makes me sad, because I feel everyone should have a chance at a life they enjoy living while they are young... and hell, when they are old, too. It really makes me sad when someone wants to die because they were s-abused. I was, and it took a long damn time to work through it, but it was worth it. And I'd hate to see someone want to die because some asshole abused them. Or maybe it's not that simple - I can never fully stand in someone else's shoes. But I also respect bodily autonomy: it is up to each of us whether to live or not. So whether there is nothing left to discuss or not, to me, is irrelevant. I've spent my entire life with no one giving a damn if I was hurting or not, so the least I can do here is witness another's pain and say "Yeah, I get it. You are not alone."

yeah… i haven't been on here for long (though i do have a tendency to lurk on here a little more than what may be considered normal but we don't talk about that) and i definitely feel the same for the most part. sometimes, i get thoughts that appear interesting enough to share for a brief moment until i read through everyone else's posts, only to find that if i were to post them i'd just be echoing the same exact thing everyone else has said a few hundred or so times.

i feel like when you're suffering the situation feels exclusive to you and yourself only. it feels so indescribably unique yet there's only so many ways a person's life can lead them to the path of suicide, and it's common to find that a lot of the problems people face are fundamentally the same or at least similar from an outsider's perspective; it definitely contributes to both the repetitiveness of the posts on this forum and of course, the comments too. however, i don't mean to diminish other people's problems by stating this. i personally don't mind the repetition since they're using the space for its intended use (which is a good thing), and also there's only so much you can say to comfort an anonymous user on here who's going through a difficult situation.

however, i feel as if most people on here are far more sincere than users on other social media platforms, who often just offer false platitudes and pat themselves on the back for supposedly saving lives. even if their responses seem half-assed to you, i feel like it's the best you're gonna get from a stranger on the internet, so it at least has some value in it. i still sorta feel like i'm screaming into the void in the rare instance where i post haha. at the end of the day, i don't really have anything new to say so i'm not counting on myself to be any different.

 

[maniac116]

Not to sound critical or insensitive but if this forum is so bad what are you doing here?

 

[lawlietsph]

Not gonna lie, this makes me feel like I am not allowed to share anything here because it might not be "interesting enough". I thought this is an open space and the last thing I want to do is to disturb another person or make them annoyed. Oh well

 

[divinemistress36]

This is the only place you can vent without judgement or be thrown toxic positivity. It would be cool if we could come up with more peaceful effective methods though

 

[Marco77]

We cannot know how many people actually commit suicide. Peaceful methods are truly lacking and many are afraid. Human existence is terrible and suffering and in here we can say that. I don't know any other place where I can express my feelings freely without being told that I should love life. For me this is the only corner of the world that still pretends to exist.

 

[Warlord's Pulse]

I kinda get you. In a way, a lot of topics are just the same subject being told from another perspective

Just look at all of the "I would like to have a relationship" topics out there, for example
