And how private is the content on SaSu? There are private sections on SaSu. But I think even there it is still pretty much out in the open.
You know I think a lot about my story. I posted a lot of the abuse I went through by my therapist in my country and how the organizations behind her backed her. But what do I achieve witth that? Peronsonally, I think one should try therapy prior to suicide. But I am also pretty disillusioned after what happened to me. And honestly, always when I heard such stories I thought this could never happen to me. Today I am again very emotional about it. This was a massive betrayal and it damaged me further. Someone who already was very traumatized and suicidal. It disincentivized me from reaching out. Even though I think the members on here should reach out more in general. But it taught me to be more careful who to trust.
I think the people on SaSu are too critical of therapy. At the same, I think I should have been better prepared. I didn't think the organizations behind her would not care at all about her misbehavior. This is for me maybe the worse. There can be a bad apple in the therapy system. There are bad therapists out there. But now I have the feeling the whole therapy system is sort of corrupted. I cannot judge about the health system in other countries. Though, I always thought my country had a good health care system. I don't really dare to post about the abuse and injustice that I experienced on other platfforms. There is a lot of coverage in my country about sexuall harassment that medical students experienced. By patients but also by head physicians.
I have the feeling Sanctioned Suicide is like an online bulletin board. The forum is full of stories that describe extreme injustice that members had to experience. And often in real life their cries for help or cries for justice get ignored. And at least on here they are given a voice to speak to the world and to explain their story to the other humans. Sometimes the only place they have to talk in an uncensored way. And the community comforts them. Personally, this whole experience made me a lot more in favor of Sanctioned Suicide. I am a centrist that usually trusts in institutions. But I lost a lot of trust in the system.
I am not sure how other people think about writing on here. But if I share my story I want to reach people that resonate with me. I am not sure whether there will be an impact on the real world. I don't think the perpetrators get caught and punished by venting on here. But it can feel empowering to write it down on here. At least I was able to share my pain which can be carthetic even though no one in real life, no authorities actually care about such abuse that is happening. I ask myself whether the truth matters. I think there happens a lot of injustice in this world. And there are people who openly support it or they are cowards who passively back the system. Usually the people who stand up against it will end up in a lot of trouble. There are many people we admire nowadays for their justice. Even though, to their time they were looked down on and shamed. And I could imagine something like that could become true for the right-to-die movement. That all these organizations and institutions have to admit that they are responsible that people end up as vegetable or brain damaged after suicide attempts because they forced them to live no matter what. I am not sure whether one can actually consciously decide not to have suicidal thoughts or expand one's pain limit. But most people seem to be cruel to me that want to force people to keep going who cannot endure it anymore for years. And the system is not even enabling them to live a life with dignity. This world seems to be rotten.
