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.

Just like the title says. I have old prescription meds, seroquel, that I wanna take. I have a feeling it will not work but I still want to try it. I'm a horrible person. I hate my life. I need to CTB. I think I should try it tonight.

I understand the feeling of wanting to try, even if only to feel the pain or "punishment" you'd get from it, but... please rethink this. OD CTBs aren't just "you either fail or succeed" type suicides, they have major consequences.
I'm sure you have seen a million people on here posting about failed attempts. Now, put that into perspective:
Let's say you survive the OD and wake up in a puddle of your own vomit. You go about life and try to find a better way to CTB. But, before you can either succeed in properly CTBing, or setting up a fool-proof plan, you start to notice something is... off. Your skin is just a bit yellower. Your eyes moreso. You're starting to feel sicker, more fatigued. Suddenly, CTBing is getting harder to plan.
You try your best, but soon realize that you are resigned to a slow, painful death from liver failure—either that or someone notices, and you are put on involuntary psychiatric hold. There's a good chance that something like that would happen anyway if someone found you after the OD.
Maybe the tragedy of it all calls to you. But can you be sure that you won't regret it?

yeah, you're right. thank you for that. i just feel so helpless right now. I have access to SN so I could definitely do that but that involves a lot of planning ahead and the idea of just ODing on an old prescription sounds easier even though I know I will survive. Things are just so hard for me right now. I need an escape like now.

There's still a lot of questions and inquiries about ODs, and people asking about what things may facilitate a successful attempt. Let's be clear, ODs are rarely fatal. Why? For a couple of reasons: (1) modern medications are designed to be very safe, as manufacturers aim to avoid deaths that...
