I originally came here to find CTB methods. Found it through searching up stuff about partial hanging on google. I spent a lot of time here, mostly because I didn't have anything to do besides sleeping and reading stuff about ctb methods. Ir was my way to pass the time as death was my only hope in that boring af numb life.
Then I decided to at least try to recover since I regained any ability to feel good. I still consider CTB and come here to research methods sometimes but I mostly spend time in recovery section. This place is actually one of the most helpful recovery online spaces I've been to, like you can talk about stuff here freely and without censorship. Also it has really good recovery resources. People here understand that the answer for everything is not just "go to therapy" or "trust your psychiatrist". Like.the recovery advice I found here is actually helpful.
I also come here in hopes of comforting some people in their pain. I know I can't do much with my words, but maybe sometimes there's a chance? Maybe my advice/suggestions may help someone. Or at least they can feel less alone. Idk also just reading stories of people here, whether those who want to die or recover, I feel like it gives me a better understanding of people in general. I want to understand others' suffering.
