Discussion Have you told anyone IRL about SaSu?

[cemeteryismyhome]

No! Never.

 

[FoxSauce]

No! Never.

Fair

 

[Subhumano]

I dont talk with anyone in real life besides my mom

 

[Orangee]

I think most people close to me know I'm on here, sporadically.
Don't know if all my current therapists know about it, but pretty sure it got put in my file at last ward. Those nurses and the doctor were fine with it, as long as I didn't make an account as long as I was a resident there.
My shrink and social worker sometimes ask if I've spent much time on here, but mostly around an attempt or almost-attempt. Though I'm not really active on here during my really really bad periods, and it's during those periods that I'm more likely to make plans and/or attempt.

I like your profile picture.

 

[Fall_Apart]

Absolutely not. being part of sasu in the most extreme section like discussions about suicide, is an unspeakable secret because of the shitty stigma that society has created. There is such a deep-rooted prejudice, to the point that people would be scared to deal with us. Society has ghettoized us without having the possibility to explain our motivations, and all of this is crazy to accept.

 

[_AllCatsAreGrey_]

I told a coworker about it, but not the name.

 

[maneose]

yeah passively, like about me getting funny comments and referring it at a 'suicide site'. my friend didn't really seemed phased, or care that i was on it. and they take my phone a lot and this is the number one site as soon as you open safari, so she still knows i'm on it. she's never ask why i'm on here, or wondered if i needed help, which hits my feelings a lot but it's whatever

 

[Praestat_Mori]

No, not at all. Nobody would understand it anyway.

 

[NoPoint2Life]

No, I restrain myself not to. But sometimes I just want to scream it out as I am sick of holding certain things in.
Ultimately I know it's too risky

 

[padda]

Yes, but i only say that it is a forum I'm on, not the name and not to many details about it. I don't want the site to get attention when I ctb/ the people around me finding my account.

 

[melonrazor]

they know it's a forum but i did not mention the name.

 

[Melly]

Everyone I frequent irl knows I'm on here and what the forum is about, but they don't know it by name, except for two people who even know my username. Everybody who knows me knows I'm suicidal, I don't make any efforts to hide it, I'm too mentally ill for it to not be obvious anyways. They're concerned but supportive. I'm lucky.

 

[Pale_Rider]

Nope. I had to hunt this place down after reading a NY Times article. Was a lot easier task then DMC ( which I think is impossible now in my honest, but humble opinion ).

 

[Forveleth]

Yes and no. I told him it is a "depression support site". Which, genuinely, it is for me. Y'all make my life just a little less shitty. Did not tell him the name of the site or the fact suicide is frequently discussed here, however.

 

[opheliaoveragain]

i'm really blessed in this area. at least three people in my life know about this place, they know what all has happened with me. but they are individuals who support the right to die. they are not users here but i've been able to give good information if they asked. I would never tell someone I thought would turn on me.

 

[Daenerys Targaryen]

Never! I regret saying I wanted to die before joining, that's why they control me so much. Now that I can and could have freedom for CTB, I can't anymore because of the excessive control. I'm a stupid girl.

 

[Chr0nicAnhedonic]

Definitely not. A lifetime of people trying and failing to address my suicidality has taught me that such frank discussions on the topic is best kept under wraps as much as possible.

If people in my life knew about this site, they'd probably be able to find me and my plans to leave go up in smoke. I'm not about to risk that.

 

[EternalShore]

This doesn't help my case though:

They could probably track me down, but I know they're too lazy for that.


Why did I tell so many people?

I was singing this sites praises, because I hated those bbc arcticles so much and it's annoying to be shown those articles and not be able to disagree or say anything.

there's so many tabs! rofl~ and almost all of them are SS too! xDDD He even has them all organized!
anyways, yup~ >_< I get what you mean! :((( It's so frustrating to get demonized like that! >_<

Anyways, I never really cared about keeping my presence here secret to irl's~ especially online friends! xD I'm pretty sure a few of them know that I'm somewhere on here, and a few others know I'm on a very suspicious forum I refused to elaborate~ Also, I didn't originally hide the website logo for a long time, so I'm sure many others have seen that too if they sat behind or next to me in class~ >_<

 

[WhiskeySolstice]

Not really. I just half-truth it by saying im "browsing forums" if anyone is asking what I'm up to, but I dont say what about nor what forum it is for the usual reasons

 

[Pale_Rider]

Not a word, and I will hold it as long as I can. This is my safe spot.

 

[Rynalia]

"I browse a forum of charcuterie enthusiasts who sometimes want to hang and share their experiences."

 

[Pale_Rider]

"I browse a forum of charcuterie enthusiasts who sometimes want to hang and share their experiences."

Literally, "charcuterie" translates from French to "cooked meat" or "pork-butcher's shop". In French, it's derived from "chair cuite," meaning "cooked flesh". Originally, charcuterie referred to the practice of preparing and preserving meats, especially pork, for consumption. Today, it often refers to a spread of cured meats, cheeses, and other accompaniments

 

[eattwinkiesseejesus]

I told my husband about finding SaSu he said - "seriously you need to get over this, don't mention it again"

 

[-nobodyknows-]

I alluded to it once. Don't think they knew what I was talking about though

 

[daysnumbered]

Nope, would probably throw me in a psych ward.

 

[SomewhatLoved]

I have a friend who I have known for probably over a decade now, and he is suicidal as well. Not as severely as me, he's only to the extent of passive ideation. To my knowledge he has never pursued it or planned for it or written letters to people in preparation like I have. For reference, in November I had sold almost all of my things and I had letters written out, and all I had left was to go to the forest and hang myself. I was very close at one point.

Anyways, one day we were talking about mental health and I asked him if the terms "CTB" or "SaSu" rang a bell to him, I didn't go any deeper than that. He said they didn't sound familiar to him. If you type "SaSu CTB" into google the first thing that comes up is the wikipedia page for Sanctioned Suicide, so I'm sure if he wanted to he could have found this place with the information I gave him. That topic hasn't come up since though, so I'm not sure he sought it out.

 

[Gamelle]

I don't talk about being suicidal in real life.

 

[sleepy_redcar]

Yes! I told my partner about it and how i'm active on it and he said

"You are just harming yourself, you should get off that site for your wellbeing"

But i don't like being told what to do, so here I am

 

[ladylazarus4]

I told my therapist, sort of against my will though. I made her promise not to report it or take action against it. The more non-suicidal people that know about it, the likelier it is that it will get taken down.

 

[Knoc]

I don't have anyone to telll
