Dear pro-lifers, this website actually saved my life

[Aiyuxiao]

Isn't that ironic?

A pro choice suicide forum has actually saved my life twice now.

Once from a user talking to me here helping me calm down from being impulsive.

A second time, with another user telling me take my time and not rush things especially since I don't have the money to source the materials I need to make an attempt.

This place is actually a safe haven for those of us who are suicidal. We are not judged, criticized, bullied, or belittled on this site for feeling the way that we do.

As a matter of fact, being able to vent, here has helped me go through some pretty dark nights because I know that I'm not alone with what I feel.

So, no this site is not horrible. This is the safest place. I've ever felt when it comes to suicide.

And in my situation for someone with chronic illnesses and disabled with chronic pain, it gives me opportunity to find a method that is less gory and gruesome for those who find me. And I'm forever thankful for that.

For now, I'm doing my best to stay here for as long as I can handle the physical pain that I am in. I'm doing everything in my power to be here.

Thank you for being here for me Sasu. Sending love to you all

I wish they did acknowledge this side of it too. Sasu hasn't exactly prevented me from CTB. I feel compelled to remain in this shit show, while my Dad is still alive. However, it does absolutely help me to cling on here while I still feel that I have to. I wonder if they ever consider that. That places like this can end up prolonging the inevitable, so that they get to keep us around a little longer.

There are plenty of members here (me included) that would feel so lost without this place. So, I echo your sentiments OP. I'm so grateful for this space.

At the end of the day is about both ways, really. If somone is able to come back, let's celebrate it ^^

Thank you! I feel like others here feel the same.

I totally agree. It's paradoxical but it's true. Every year, 700 000 people are committing suicide. How many of them knew about this forum ?? I'm sure that 99% of suicided people didn't hear about SaSu at all. So pro-lifers can go home with this argument. They don't understand this place. I didn't see any pro-suicide thread, just desperate people who want to be in peace. I respect pro-lifers, but they must respect us too.

I wish they acknowledged this part of sasu as well. O: and I agree with everything that you said. This website is actually a lifeboat for me to cling a little longer. The fact that people here have empathy and understanding for your pain and suffering actually helps me a lot.

No one on this site told me to just kill myself. I actually got more comments like that from people IRL who would say things like, "Reach out to someone." or "Talk about it."

This site is the safest I've ever felt when it comes to talking about suicide. Talking about it in venting on here helps calm down the impulse to do so.

At the end of the day is about both ways, really. If somone is able to come back, let's celebrate it ^^

I agree. I'm actually really happy if someone is able to leave the site and recover of course. But if they come back, I just have empathy and compassion for everyone that does. Because life is fucking hard.

I understand where pro-lifers come from. But I feel like they shouldn't just outright condemn this place. Because it actually helps a lot of people. I've talked to a couple people here that said that this site has helped them recover. And they only come back to talk to people or vent when their depression gets really bad.

And you're right there's no pro suicide thread on here that I've seen at all. Only people that have been beaten down by life wanting to be heard.

I understand where pro-lifers come from.

While I do as well, it doesn't help that the very topic itself out there is taboo in society, people only dare to talk about it after someone has already reached a point where they've taken their lives or...the world always responds too late and even then, have the gall to blame the person after they're gone for whatever reason they feel like they want to. I've lost my patience with prolifers in general, not after everything I've seen and experienced from their behavior. I just dont trust they have the capacity to truly respond anymore to someone in crisis anymore than they do to other social issues they ignore until it reaches a critical stage
