I wasn't suicidal when I came across this site. Happily, I'm still not! While I have experienced depression and suicidal ideation in the past, I arrived here in a more positive/practical frame of mind.

It occurred to me that I might be unlucky and face an existence of constant, permanent unbearable suffering, e.g. from illness. In such a situation, I'd want the opportunity to end my life without relying on others. This site helped me to think carefully about the options. So, thanks!

Thinking carefully also helped me to realise that I don't want to die, yet. However, it's somewhat reassuring to know that there are peaceful, quick and reliable - albeit not straightforward - methods of completing the final act. With chosen death a possibility, I can continue living.

I think many, if not most, people who are members logged on to this site for understanding all facets surrounding wishing to CTB. I know I did. I have since discovered that we all have VERY different stories, some far more horrible than Sadaam's torture chamber, or at least the equivalent. My god, there's some serious shit people have been subjected to. That said, for the most part, there is common ground and an open space (whispers of Rumi here) where we all can meet, learn, gain some understanding, feel compassion for self and others, and learn of a peaceful exit, which should be everyone's right.
