Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

We aren't made to let ourselves go so easily. If we were the human race would have died out very quickly. I've been ready to go for over a decade now and I'm still fucking here despite valiant attempts not to be.

Same. I should have never got rid of my gun I was intending on using the first time a few months ago. Now I have all these extra steps just to get back to the barrel in my mouth. Sat in front of the gun store for 3 hours Friday just staring at it... Couldn't get the courage to override my anxiety and tornado of thoughts and walk in. Wasted a ton of $ on Uber getting there and back. It's hard. It's fuckin hard. I think it's just hardwired from our ancestors who had to survive for so long, it's engrained into our genetics. It sucks. Wanting to die so bad but not having the balls to make it happen yourself. I'm not afraid of death. I'm really not. I'm just afraid of inflicting violence against myself in the moment. Like the actual physical part of it. I just keep making my life worse hoping it pushes me over the edge at some point.
We are the product of 3.5 billion years of natural selection for survival. We have the weight of all that programming working against us, and it takes a truly heroic amount of human willpower to go against it.

The tension between will (or desire) and the survival instinct is a profound struggle that touches on our deepest impulses and decisions, especially in contexts involving life and death.

Yeah, like this barrier in my brain that keeps me from doing harm to myself, and that I can't get past. At this point I just wish someone would do it for me...
This is so true, and every time I go to research for available methods I see people at the very end saying that death isn't the only option and that I could talk it out with therapy or the suicide helpline. First of all, not everyone could afford therapy! Why in the world do you even think I searched this stuff for? And second of all that helpline was useless and only suggested the same money hungry thing. Not only is it hard to die but it's literally harder to live. This is my only help, rachel!
yeah, my first SA was trying to jump off, but I was so scared of heights that I just stared for about 15 seconds before climbing back in. It's very painful, I don't wanna live, yet I also don't wanna die. I can do nothing but weep in sorrow.
I relate so much. I hate that I'm trapped in existence. I'm nothing more than a prisoner and I hate it. I want to be free but I can't since humans are cruel and will always keep euthanasia illegal for people like me
Does SI prevent you from taking that final step to start your attempt, or does it make you abort the attempt halfway through?
If it's the latter: watch a video or something. That's how I've gotten through the waiting times for things to kick in. A few seconds feel can suddenly feel like an hour, but with distractions it can bump that down to feeling like a few minutes, for me.

I understand just wishing to be gone, personally it feels so cruel to me how it's so difficult to die, I wish for a painless death to just take away all the suffering for me but anyway I hope that you find peace.
