Story THANK YOU SS for this platform!!

[Stormy Raine]

I seen someone else post this and I want to personally thank you all for this platform! This platform has been wonderful to me and I don't know what I'd do if this platform wasn't here! The truth is people see me at work, and about and I appear like the everyday person, they have no clue all the hurt, physical and mental pain I carry everyday. I finally told my friends that I wasn't ok and I simply didn't want to continue life and the several reasons why, they got me placed on a 72 hr hold. To think you could fix anyone in 72 hrs is ridiculous! Once I was released I stopped talking and eventually cut all ties with everyone involved. That's the day I lost my voice and found it here. I don't feel crazy anymore, I'm surrounded by people who understand and who won't judge me or call the police. Well I have to go to work and as I sit here crying I just want to tell everyone thank you! I have to hurry up and put on my normal face so I can work but this site has been nothing but absolutely amazing! And for the pro-lifers please understand nobody on this site has every told me to commit suicide or even suggested it to me! If I make a topic and simply say I want to commit suicide the responses are nothing more than best wishes to me and have a safe journey! There is nobody on here pushing anyone to suicide! Please go find something else to do and leave us alone! Thanks again SS

We just want what us best here and sometimes the pro-lifers got to let us be cause the people here understand more than they ever will

I'm glad the forum is helping you so much. Its amazing to be a part of a community where nobody judges anyone and you can be yourself.

i absolutely agree with your point, nobody wants anyone to ctb but if someone chose to do so, the only thing you can do is offer the person to talk with you and a safe journey.

You attempted to open up to them and sounds like you were betrayed. I'm sorry you had to through that.

That's one of the main reasons I keep a purely everyday person appearance as you say.

This is my favorite place on the web for sure. They are trying their best to bring it down with DDOS attacks but fortunately the owners of the site are fighting the best they can.

Those pro-life people just lack any compassion, it's something so cruel being against the right to die, suicidal people deserve to have somewhere to be open about wanting to die without the fear of suffering more in a psych ward.

They only think of how they are viewed rather than helping people having somewhere to talking without being judge is why places like this exist we need a place to be without that judgement

This the most compassionate and the nices community I found on the internet. It's like a role model family relationship.

I think it's therapeutic to be able to talk about depression and suicidal thoughts in order to process it all. But this requires the person listening to not judge or jump to an extreme solution, like hospitalization. True empathy is being there with the person and showing support in whatever way is needed/asked for. It is also accepting that a person might not get better, and not try to force "wellness". This site is unmatched in it's truly nonjudgmental peer support.

 

[who doesn't matter]

The platform truly is a godsend, especially for someone like me with no social contact. Met some of the nicest and wisest folks here.

Unlike in real life, where there are tons of people surrounding you with different mentalities and views, that in fact don't help but instead makes us feel worse. That's because they don't understand us and lack the needed empathy.

The reason why this forum is so supportive and actually help the people instead of making them feel more worse is because in this forum, everyone that gathered here have experienced actual pain and suffering and that's why you got so many people with the needed empathy and the right support.

Thanks to this community, me and many others here feel a lot better and welcomed than in any other place.

I personally want to thank the owners of this forum for fighting against the people who attack this website! And the community for being so supportive!

This site isn't perfect, but it's certainly better than the often-dangerous pro-life drivel. It's good that there's at least one space that one can talk about their issues, despite no one else caring.
