Discussion what made you join SaSu?

[rainatthetraintrack]

i joined because my life sucks and that's why i want to die still not sure though so idk

 

[Nobodi]

Harrassment and bullying and stalking

 

[Lions303]

To try and make friends (even tho im terrified of pm'ing people first lmao) and joining in a community to learn how people managed to overcome difficulties in life to maybe use in my own life

 

[owarikigan]

joined first a few years ago to try and feel heard and understood. i don't think that will ever work out for me no matter the platform so i stay to keep track of and save diff methods / regimens etc for when there comes a day that i urgently need them

 

[meowmentous]

Joined just because of general depression and life issues. I've been having troubles as of recent years— but 2025 hasn't exactly been mine to really cheer about, sadly. Overall, depression, general anxiety, and OCD.

Also hey, Matthias pfp! Moving on however, I understand you in a way, though. I knew about this website for years, and lurked sometimes… but for me, something inside me finally snapped and I joined and now I'm on here every couple of weeks or days. I didn't join a few years ago, not like you… but I certainly did read a few posts. Can't believe I came back here, and actually made an account, in 2025. Sadly, change and getting better is hard.

Nonetheless, I hope in some regard, you still feel heard and understood. I'm so sorry that life has brought you back here.

i truly needed to connect with other suicidal ppl and to find reliable ways to ctb back in the days, so in response i think someone on reddit told me about this forum

 

[darksouls]

in 2023 I was in an international forum and a few users talked about depressions and suicidal thoughts, another user posted a link to sasu
since then I was a long time lurker, for 6 month I was in a forum similar to sasu in my native language but I was banned, so I decided to make an account on sasu and I am thankful to be here, the community is supportiv and friendly

I've been suicidal on-and-off for over 20 years, but this specific event brought me to SaSu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Western_North_America_heat_wave

I can't handle heat. Even 20C/70F is getting uncomfortable. And in that weeks-long heatwave, it was getting to 40C+/105F+. I was so close to killing myself during it. Hundreds of people died from the heat in my province alone, it was Hell.

Climate change will ultimately make me kill myself.

 

[w1ngedpearl]

I've been suicidal for a long time and never met understanding people. All I heard were cruel phrases like "don't be weak" or "get rid of these stupid thoughts". When I came across this website, I decided to join to get some support and be here for people who need it too. This place has the most lovely community I've ever seen.

 

[shampoo sniffer]

I genuinely think I am beyond help. Therefore death is the best option for me. It's good to be amongst a community of people who are going through the same thing.

I can't handle heat.

I feel the same way. I love cold weather. I've always enjoyed the sensation of cooling. I like cold drinks and foods and I love snowstorms.

I see that you're Canadian, winter must be a relief.

I'm in BC where we get mild Winters, but Fall/Winter is my favorite time of year. So much rain, I love the rain.

Snow is pretty, but being a cripple it's hard to get around in. A lot of years, I'll slip and fall and fuck myself up, which is how I got crippled in the first place as a kid.

 

[LighthouseHermit]

To find people who think like me, and give some support, and hopefully get some back. Suicide is a big taboo, and I'm glad I found this place where I am able to talk about it.

 

[Upon a hanging Body]

Wanting to learn from others on here

 

[westerly_merlin]

Recommendation from the BBC

I attempted a full suspension hanging in July but it hurt like hell and my SI kicked in.

I got some help and I am now getting therapy but I still have suicidal ideation and read about this site on a really biased news article. I lurked about for a few weeks and it seemed really open and supportive.

 

[Foraging]

Lonileness and connection im not a social person.

 

[mysticatedwine]

can't find any place in society, no groups, where i feel like i belong and am accepted for what i feel. sasu isnt perfect but i can express some of the things that i can't communicate anywhere else

awww~ So neat! ^_^ I love making friends too! >w< It'd be neat to overcome the difficulties of this life, yesu~ :(

At the time I created my account, my life was very miserable to say the least~ >_< It's a bit better since then thankfully (like bad instead), altho there have been times where it has been miserable since then too~ due to how far down my life has gotten, I just wanted somewhere to talk about it that wasn't Twitter (which I was avoiding at the time, I think?) or AI (which was becoming increasingly censorious)~ and ofc, maybe help others feel appreciated and participate in fun forum games too! :) In my join request, I said, "I don't have hope for life anymore. Things have rather sucked for me for almost 5 years, and I've just given up on it all. idk whether I'll go into recovery, venting, going through with it, etc. yet, but I'd like to be able to talk about it with other people rather than AI's that constantly try to get you to call a dumb hotline or disable their responses."
