Wow, the last minute or so about quiet emptiness.... that's deep, sometimes I feel that.
All I can hope for (in the distant future) is either 2 things... a reasonable afterlife, or the finiteness of the universe limiting the downsides of life (my lfe's feels like a mix from good to bad)

I constantly forget you people are depressed here. I'm not depressed so I'm like "Why aren't you joking and having fun?".
You people should join forces with each others and get yourselves a big house where you could all live together. That way you have a place to live in and people to live with. You won't be alone and depressed in a tiny apartment. You could help each other. You could easily organize something like that. I mean everyone here is an adult.
Of course you instantly get suicidal if you are alone in a tiny apartment, that's no living.

I moved in with my partner from this forum. He's great. I recommend doing it, but it is a safety risk.

What could go wrong? Only everything!
Why are you on this forum if you're not depressed? Lol genuinely curious.

For me, I read the forum years ago (both for curiosity and when I had CTB wishes) and wanted to be part of the community, those wishes are getting rarer for me now.
Not sure if I had depression, tho back then I used the web to avoid tasks I dread, sometimes hoping each day was my last.

I'm not sure why I made the most amount of replies over the last 2 pages.
BTW, This CAPTCHA looks cool, solved it when using a discord alt to transfer files (I setup an email with it after so I have it in case I need an alt).

Hey, all! Gotta be honest, I wasn't sure where to ask this so figured here would do. Forgive me if there's another place.
How can I change my username? As you might see the underscores are making it so that the t at the end runs on to a new line. Did check the Rules & Info and it says you can do so via preferences, but the option's not there for me.

it's ok to ask questions like that here :3
the option is sadly disabled for over a month, but contacting a mod like @Namelesa may lead to it being changed for you, if the change is small.

Thank you for the reply and advice! Forgive me, but how can I DM a mod? I've used the 'contact us' form at the bottom of the page, but I'm not sure if that's the right thing for a name change. Thanks again, though.

You can click @Namelesa 's username from the purple tag, and if the option is available (eg, account isn't too new or has too few posts), click Start Conversation (since that has better notifications than Private chat)

Hi ss lounge. I do next to nothing in life outside of work. But when I'm at work, I have a hyperactive work ethic to constantly be busy with tasks and brainstorm new tasks for myself when I need more to do, and pretty much don't talk at all at work. We had overflow of help on site today, we're a production site, but I'm a newer member with an inventory role. Unfortunately it was a strong juxtapostion of myself working and my "help"...doing a lot of talking and sitting, not taking initiative to do small things to help or attempt to look busy.
Got frustrated, handed them a small task to do and told them if they did not want to do it, speak to a supervisor about finding somewhere else to be. They were caught off guard because usually I just mind my own business. And I understand they might have felt out of place when they are usually production and not inventory. I guess I just thought since they had been at the business longer than me and had helped previously in inventory, that they might have some sense of things they could have helped with.
It just felt like babysitting, but I know I shouldn't have gotten frustrated, and should should have approached the situation better.
Ugh, just venting. I'm restless day in and day out and passage of time means nothing. Time needs to pass because every pay check is a means for me to pay the debt and repercussions of my history. Keep my head down, do the work, week by week, month by month, time just needs to pass.
Work feels like I'm on a mission to keep myself alive, if I'm going to be alive. And I try to keep that stress inside all day everyday. Just smile, just nod, end every social interaction as quickly as possible.
I don't know, rant ending, mind tired, drinking coffee.

And then build a crystal temple of the taj mahal of depressed people and we could all just do silly goober dances til sun dawn
and we will all get funded by saudi billionaires and change the world and all live happily ever after.
sounded to me in the first sentence, that you like work because you have a sense of control, you get tasks and you're able to do them.Hi ss lounge. I do next to nothing in life outside of work.

Hi ss lounge
You can apply the same rules into your life, do small things, it can be anything really, reading, making tea, growing plants, just as long as you have a sense of control, or maybe im just spouting a bunch of shit.

I'm a new user here. I'm pro-choice, but reading some of the goodbye threads made me feel so awful that I actually cried. It also makes me feel bad every time I click on someone's profile and see they haven't logged in for months, because I worry they might have CTB-ed.
I know everyone has the right to do what they want, and I completely understand the huge struggles you all face (I have them too, that's why I signed up for this forum). Still, I wonder if this is the best way to approach things. Maybe some of these problems can be solved, and some people's lives could still turn out great.
I feel like a hypocrite saying this, since I wouldn't believe it when I'm at my lowest. But, rationally, I think many of you can be saved and shouldn't give up all hope. Instead of looking for the light at the end of the tunnel, people come here looking for confirmation of their feelings (confirmation bias), and that cycle just deepens the despair for everyone involved. I don't think that's very healthy.
I don't know if this is against the rules, but that's just my opinion.

I think that the thoughts you're having eventually hit everyone who spends some time here. It's really terrible to see so much pain here, and see all the lives just... gone. One day this person was here, the next they're not. Life goes on, and yet it doesn't.
It's also scary to see all the people coming here not because they've made the decision and are looking for resources or comfort, but because they're unsure and are looking to have their inclinations validated. Especially the younger folks. The people looking for a permanent solution to a temporary problem, or just to entertain the idea and see how it fits -- not that that applies to everyone, but many.
In my time on this forum I've been kinda shocked at how supportive of life and recovery people here are though, and how careful they are to never push anyone toward suicide. The confirmation bias and echo chamber spirals are a real risk for those on the edge; even just commiseration and camaraderie can cause harm under the right (wrong) circumstances. But I think the majority of people here are very well aware of that, and make great efforts to steer each other away from it as much as possible. I think, nobody knows the gravity of suicide like those who have truly considered it.
