Discussion What was the catalyst that made you join this site?

I've suffered with mental health problems for almost as long as I could remember. In light of recent events in my life that make me absolutely hate myself as a human being and knowing that my future/life I built is about to be stripped away along with my freedoms, I've been leaning more towards CTB than ever. Idk how exactly I stumbled on this forum but it has been comforting knowing I'm not really that weird for having these thoughts. Lurked for about a month before I made an acct.

I almost made an impulsive attempt in 2022, but stopped for a couple of reasons. I decided to get smart on methods and means beyond the shotgun in the mouth one, and found this site obliquely referenced in an NPR story. I lurked for a few months but wanted to interact. I'm glad I did, I find being part of this community is helping me in a lot of unexpected ways.

I've been sick with the stomach flu for the last few days, and as dramatic as it sounds, it really put things into perspective. Not even ten thousand happy memories could convince me to willingly endure such extended misery. Pretty much the whole time I thought: "I'd rather be dead than live through this." And so, with a sudden surplus of free time, I signed up.

What about y'all?

It's just a free for all for the suicidal - I needed to let it out aty worst and SaSu just appeared.
