This site saved me

I was depressed and thought there was no way out of my pain. Realizing theres a way out always makes me want to try in life before I quit. Has this site helped anyone else?

Knowing I'm suicidal and can always turn to death as a last resort is what keeps me going, honestly. It's given me a certain comfort. Like a "fuck it, let's try this, if it doesn't work I can always just kill myself" still trying to find my perfect method though.

There's a great quote from Sarah Perry along the lines of "life would be radically less miserable if if wasn't mandatory". The knowledge from this site sometimes creates the fleeting illusion that continuing life is optional, and that sense of control can be an enormous psychological relief.

This site has sure helped me. It has opened a whole box of options on how to ctb that I never even knew of. Having as many options available to you as possible for such an important decision is important.

Yes! yes yes yes : )

This site is probably not helpful because it is time spent doing something weird which will just lead to more social alienation for me. I can't talk about how I post on this site in real life and yet I spend a lot of time doing it.

In a strange way, it probably has.

I have never met anyone else who hated life. Everybody I know, even people with shitty lives, still had a zest for life. They still hope to live long, like waking up everyday, even if their lives are way worse than mine.

I tell them I hate still living, wish I was dead, need cancer, etc. and they just don't relate at all. I've told them so many times they just brush it off. Once they ever believe me, I won't be around to see it.

Knowing I'm not the only one dealing with depression and suicidel thoughts has been helpful

I would say, yes, this site has been really cathartic for me. It has given me a place of support, like minded individuals who will be able to hold a discussion and see things in a similar light without the bullshit platitudes, judgment that most of the world has. I can't think of many others places (if any) that are similar to what we have here. The vast majority of other places censor suicide and/or plaster suicide hotline numbers and what not everyone like some fucking parrot.

Also, I believe this is one of the few places to openly discuss about methods without fear of being banned, censored, or getting into trouble.
