Discussion What keeps you in ss (sasu)?

[TwistedNightmares]

It's the only place I find safe to express my thoughts. I find the people here to be really kind and understanding.

 

[RimeOfTheAncient]

It's pretty much the last place on the internet where I can be open and say what I really mean without getting banned, mocked, or whiteknighted.

[Greyhawk]

This is the only place where I can communicate my thoughts and feelings honestly without pretending. I don't need to fear judgement because people here have experienced same kind of stuff and make an effort to listen. I can talk about suicide, death and my fears without people just going "Suicide is bad" or brushing it off.

In other words, this is the only place where I can feel authentic connection to people. I'm also pretty lonely and I like reading posts and spending time here when I'm bored.

freedom and comfort
understanding and respect

I don't know why I'm still here.

The sense of community here. The opportunity to be honest about how I'm feeling without getting panic, platitudes or annoyance as a response. I'm stuck here alive while I wait for my Dad to go first. Ironically, the forum is actually helping me to hold on.
