"Wiped Out!"

What do you think when you see a new SS member? Do you feel sorry that they've ended up here? Do you feel happy, because SS is the best place for people like us? Do you feel anything else?
I personally experience mixed feelings. I'm very much pro-choice, but it's also a bit sad to see how many people want to not live on this planet. I'm happy that they've come here and not to any other place though, because this is a safe space for everybody, whether they wish to be helped to recover or to peacefully end their lives.

I am glad that, if they are a real genuine member instead of a bullshit moronic pro lifer, they have found a place which is actually safe and doesn't contain as much pro life bullshit as other places in the world do. I'm glad that they can do the necessary research to ctb peacefully and, most importantly, correctly instead of relying on risky methods which will most likely be completely botched. There isn't any information about suicide methods out there because the majority of people are so incredibly pro life to where they don't want to share this information and, additionally, they also capitalise on people's fear of the risky methods as they know that people will be forced to stay alive if the only methods they can access is hanging, drowning, jumping etc. The fact that they found a place which goes against that pro life bullshit makes me feel so happy for them

I feel the same. I always start with "Welcome, sorry you are here" because no one should get to a point this low in their life. But I have read so many stories of people being miserable not getting support and trying to CTB with terrible methods. If someone is suicidal, I would rather they be here where we can help, whether it be just listening to them vent or telling them that trying to OD on OTC meds does not work.

This is only my second post, but it's not the start of my journey. I have been feeling this way for a very long time, for years now.
I am also not new to the forum, I have been lurking here for around six months before signing up.
I guess what I'm saying is, you don't know what's going on behind the scenes of a new member.

ill just say for myself joining I joined here due to being probably the lowest I've been in a damn while. This place made me chill out though at least for now. I guess in a way it made me feel normal. Newcomer PoV I suppose, don't feel bad... would suffer whether I'm here or not.

When I see a new member I usually think damn who hurt them? But im usually also happy that they came across this site since here you can freely decide on what you want to do with your life. Like you said you can choose to recover or just want to be peacefully at peace like me.

Remembering how I was at my very lowest when I found this place, it makes me feel sorry that they stumbled up on this site but also glad at the same time that they found it. This place kinda feels like it's a kind favour life offers you after it's done beating you down, whether or not it's the last kindness offered.

I can't say exactly how I feel. I don't have any particular emotions toward the new members of the community. I think the suffering that brings them here is so vast and profound that it's impossible to fully understand the motivations behind each person's arrival. Some may be seeking comfort, others may be looking for a concrete solution to their pain, while others might simply be curious or lost. And then there are those who are suffering and will continue to suffer because, perhaps for them, pain is the only reality they know.
I don't believe there's a single or universal explanation for why someone joins this community, because pain itself is infinite—a bottomless container of suffering, bitterness, and dissatisfaction. This world, after all, is merely a reflection of that pain, a place where every corner seems to be permeated by torment and bitter waters that corrode everything they touch.
I don't have any particular feelings toward the new arrivals, primarily because anonymity is the rule in this community. There are no faces or names to associate, just fragments of stories—words that surface from the screen and blend into a shared sea of pain. It's difficult, if not impossible, to form an emotional connection with someone who remains in the shadows, a vague identity that I cannot truly touch or know.
I believe that emotions, if they are to arise, come from familiarity, from consistent interaction, and from time. Even with the "older" members, it's already challenging to distinguish or recall certain details, as everything merges into a single fabric of suffering. With the new members, I find myself in a state of complete emotional suspension: I feel nothing because there's nothing binding me to them. Perhaps one day, if clearer voices emerge, something will change. But for now, they remain anonymous presences in a shared sea of pain.

i feel like most people who have an account on this site lurk for a while before making an account, or atleast that's what i did and what i've gathered from other people. but i don't feel any differently about new accounts than i do older accounts. i'm happy to feel understood but sad that so many others also don't want to be here. the only time i mind is when they're here for the wrong reasons and just try to spew the same, unhelpful, "it'll get better" lines we have heard countless times. but even then, i know they have good intentions, so i cant fault them for trying to help, they just dont understand as much as they think they do.

They shouldn't be here, neither should I nor anyone. This site should not exist to begin with. It is a product of a failed existence that has unjustifiedly cursed people and destroyed people up to their core.

It saddens me, any soul finding this sub means they too are in some way broken.

We were all new members at one point. I just feel bad that life treated them so poorly that they found themselves here. People applying every single day, looking for solace or at least a place to relate to because most places forbid this type of discussion.

i wish them all the best and hope they feel better after joining this site than they did before, i know for sure this site left me better than I was when I first joined :) but I also resonate with the sentiment from other commenters here that it's unfortunate that despair gravitates us towards hunting out places such as this one, as well :heart:

Well I'm not new cuz I have been lurking for a few years and finally found the resolve to become a member. I'm now dead set on it, even though there's some time before I actually try to go through my plan but who knows if my impulsive decisions will get the better of me. That being said, I'm a pessimistic and cynical guy so new members joining this place don't really seem as surprising to me cuz the whole world has gone to shit and it can only get worse.

On the one hand, I feel sad about how many people want to CTB because this life treated them badly. On the other hand, I feel comfort in knowing that there are so many other people out there as I am. It's like belonging to this secret company called SaSu.

I'll go against the grain. I feel hope for new members.

I'd be dead without the old reddit /ss.

For many, this is the first community where they can freely speak their minds and face their demons. I will hear their story and concerns.

There will always be suffering, and of course I empathize and hate the sadness, but recovery is possible and I think this place is uniquely able to assist.
