    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.

    If you value the community and would like to help support its continued operation, donations are greatly appreciated. If you wish to donate via Bank Transfer or other options, please open a ticket.

i dont know if loss is the word to describe it, maybe despair or hopelessness (both synonyms tbh)

i kick myself for not having ctb at my happiest so that I don't go back to feeling my lowest, the highs are never good enough to justify going on. the only thing i wanted was for someone to love me (romantically) as much as i would them, because i dont want for much else.

they don't care about me nearly as much as i'd like, and i regret letting myself get used to those intermittent highs. i used to be either fine or sad, and i was okay with that, i haven't really known much else, when i have been happy, it's been sporadic and materialistic. i now know what it feels like to be happy for more than a day, and i'm afraid to ctb now. fuck you for making me happy once and ripping it along with my conviction out of my hands.

trying to get used to feeling like there's nothing to live for again so i can do myself a favour and commit when i'd thank myself for it (like now)
