Feeling at home here.

[alexithymia]

I feel a sense of belonging here that I don't feel anywhere else. It's wonderful to be able to talk to like-minded people.

I wish we could all drink the Kool-Aid together.

Glad you feel comfortable here. I am sure the admin team love reading feedback like that after all the negative shit this place takes.

 

[Darkhaven]

Yup, this is the best place to be.
No annoying pro lifers trying to sell you the average dose of their bullshit.

 

[Dawn0071111]

Agreed. A place where honesty isnt punished. SN KoolAid.... lol...

 

[Élégie]

Same. I'm so glad I discovered this community. Everywhere else (even on mental illness/depression support forums) suicide is pretty taboo. At least here we can be totally open.

I run into some trouble with some people and their opinions on here, but for the most part, I feel the same. Overall, this is the corner of the internet that I feel most at ease in.

So many of us find the same word for it, home. With such different backgrounds, reasons for being here, and everything, maybe the deepest connector in the world is recognising the right to exit. It requires breaking the most feared taboo.

I've been sort of lucky that my friends are more or less pro-choice even irl, but most of them so with a caveat.

It was pretty hilarious. I sort of said goodbye to a couple of friends (but not telling them when exactly or how I will leave). One of them was respectful and loving as they always have been. With the other it went like this:

-Mock.
-Stop mocking because I don't rise up to it.
-Respect and try to think of a final act that could change my circumstances, according to my wish, not what is 'correct'.
-Give in to woo and try to convince me to 'go beyond the constraints of mind'. Hello, there is nothing beyond the mind. You're basically telling me to deny myself simply because I shouldn't make anybody uncomfortable.
-Throw in a pinch of 'you have things to do yet'. Of course I do, never said I didn't. Just decided not to do them.
-Aand the best bit, 'you will die anyway, why don't you give it a go?' It is woo clutching at you with its last might to wrench control of your death from you and turn it into something you will do when you are completely defeated.

If I chose to live at all, it would be with the sole purpose of fighting woo tooth and nail.

I kind of like it here too!

This forum is the best therapy I've ever had.

 

[Squiddy]

I love it here too

Find comfort here.
Everyone around me are doing well in life makes me feel out of place.

This place is necessary. The forum is generally very supportive, much more so than any professional I've encountered. But it deals with the most terrifying of issues so there is a danger here also. I find I simply cannot offer practical advice on suicide even though I may seek it myself.

I feel the same, I've had thoughts where I wish everybody on here could, sort of, meet in real life and the whole community will be together. It sounds unrealistic I know, or even some sort of group webcam thing where we could all speak to each other, together. I can't even explain it.

 

[Meh...]

One of the reasons I joined this site! I actually feel a sense of belonging for once. If anybody's down to talk feel free to message me. I know how badly we need someone to release our emotional baggage to atm.
