No hate. I'm glad there is a form for people who are or want to recover but I thought this was part of the anti-life philosophy tree? I thought suicide was the only right choice and it's stupid to think someone can"recover" from it. No hate just genuine curiosity

If you haven't yet, we highly encourage you to check out our Recovery Resources thread!
I think anti-life is the philosophy of the suicide subforum, but it wouldn't be here, because this is the recovery subforum. It can be possible to recover, it just depends on your individual circumstances.

Everyone can and should decide for themselves. It is healthy to talk about death and to reflect on all possibilities. It could be that speaking/thinking about it can make you see it differently and then it is good to exchange with people who had the same thoughts but decided to recover. I think a recovery section is a good addition here.
I really lik this thread from someone who recovered and still supports this forum. It's a really good read.

I've recovered — and I'll still always support SaSu.
Long diary/rambly-ish post! Feel free to ignore it. Hey, all. I've recovered for a year and a couple of months now, and it was a multifaceted outcome of many changes in my life (i.e., abstinence from alcohol, finishing my degree, adopting a positive "big brother" inner monologue, etc). This is...

Because it's a pro choice forum. Not a pro dead or suicide forum. Many of our users do want to recover. And some even do.

It's just an option for folks on here that want to maybe give life another shot or to better themselfs in some way. Nobody forces anything and that's how it should be.
To make an informed decision, you need to have the complete picture - to know that both paths exist and are well-trodden. But it's not black and white; there's no "only right choice" because then it wouldn't be a choice.

not true. suicide is a valid choice but it isn't the only choice. you can certainly recover from it but it takes a lot of will. Support from this recovery section can really help.

I feel like anti-life is only the philosophy of the suicide section, while pro choice is the philosophy of the forum i think

The idea of this place is the right to die, not the obligation. We believe in autonomy over your own body, and that also implies the choice to live. Silence kills, and for many, not freely talking about suicide doesn't help them. IMO, it's a great idea to have this tab, because you should be able to change your mind without pressure. You can also express your death desires without judgement for better healing.
There are may users with different ideas, some of which think life can be good, it's worth it for many, or isn't normally as bad as many users have it. Nowhere in the rules is stated you must see all life as miserable to join. This said, there is overlapping with anti-life people, but I see nothing wrong with that.

Sorry but wtf. We're trying to show the world that we're pro-choice not pro-suicide. I'm guessing you read about promortality then came to this conclusion but no. Philosophy is one thing being against the recovery forum is baffling
This forum isn't "pro-death." Certainly that isn't my experience and those aren't my beliefs. This place is pro-choice. The philosophy here is that you have a right to make your own decision. Be that recovery or suicide, both are accepted here.
You're just objectively wrong. People can and do recover from the place of wanting to kill themselves. There are thousands upon thousands of testimonials out there that show this. And there is scientific evidence that shows people can recover from things like severe depression.
This forum is a forum where people with suicidal thoughts come to talk to others who understand what they're going through and do not judge them for it or call 911. That can be for information on how to end it but also emotional support or seeking to get better. It's their choice and I'm glad it's here. I've used the recovery category msny times as I often switch between wanting to live and wanting to die.
Personally I would rather people recover. But I still acknowledge other people have the right to choose.
Forgive me everyone for my incorrect assumption. I meant no harm whatsoever. I've spent so much time on Reddit anti-life forums, I felt like any ideas painting life as not super bad were wrong. Once again I am sorry and wish you all well
