How important has this site become to you

[Lordsudbury]

Say what's up if this site has basically replaced your social life.

 

[NightmareTour]

This site pretty much IS my social life. I've only been here just over a week now (aside from the short stay when I first joined) and honestly, this is the only place I really get to talk to people. I really appreciate this site and everyone here.

 

[Brick In The Wall]

Fuck all of this...because I love you all!

 

[waived]

Most people don't understand mental health so it's quite refreshing to come across people's posts here who get it. Not that I talk about a lot of stuff here but I certainly don't think I could talk to friends about stuff because they've demonstrated that they don't understand.

 

[Ghost2211]

This site is my social, and I've met better people here than I ever have irl.

 

[HelloHell]

It's my social life. I'm not in contact with any particular person on this site. So basically my social life is partaking in the discussion here. Pathetic? Idk i'm used to it

I'm here, it helps me, I have to be wary of falling in too deep.
I can't even use facebook anymore, it seems vacuous and pointless and whilst twitter is interesting because it has teeth, it's also a toxic environment where any old fuckwit can spout their bilge.

I'd rather have a functional social life like I used to but when there are no other cards on the table, you'll play any hand you get.

This site is one of the few things that is still capable of distracting my attention from wallowing in suffering endlessly. I am grateful for it. I found more than just a bunch of info on suicide methods here, even though I didn't expect to.

SS is my raft!

 

[Pho3nix]

I'm finding myself spending a bit too much time here sometimes. But what can I do when I'm on lockdown with zero social life? At least playing the games is keeping my mind off stuff.

 

[itachi of death]

Best social media site I've ever been,it gave a place where I feel truly safe to express my emotions and feeling.this is a great place.SS

 

[MichaelNomad123]

I have had some excellent discussions and advice in the short time that I've been here. For the first time, I feel like I'm among people that get it.

 

[BPD Barbie]

This is my social media to be honest. I'm here more than anywhere else. This site means a lot to me, it's not easy to find somewhere where mental health and the issues surrounding it can be talked about so freely.

 

[Lilacmoon]

I'm here all the time. The understanding and empathy I've seen is something priceless. The freedom to say as I wished. I met a very close friend here too that I'm so thankful to have had the chance to meet. Helps me make it day to day. I'd have been gone in September if not for the site.

I love being able to talk about suicide without basically any fear of being judged or worrying about someone running off and reporting me to a professor or other because it's their "moral obligation". Obviously you don't post personal identifiable information, but that aside the people here are wonderful to interact with, and I'm pretty happy that I found this place by accident.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Fairly important, at least when it comes to reducing boredom or for creating a facsimile of a social life for me.

 

[Lordsudbury]

Great responses guys.

I spend too much time here too and I told my friend who is worried about my CTB plans that I would cut back on the suicide forums. But it's also a positive place where everyone "gets" you.

Yeah, I had to tell my friends that this is purely a suicide recovery forum with no methods listed at all. Another friend of mine thinks I'm just on a subreddit and not an actual forum.

 

[Disappointered]

yes..i have no real life and this forum is so far the best i've found.

 

[Antigonish]

It's a get away to distract myself. I have a job, and live in a place that has constant traffic and no privacy. This is my abditory (the one place where I disappear, and not actually there).

[AJ95]

Yeah... this site is my social life lol

I have zero friends irl, no one to talk to or hang out with

The only people I'd call friends are pretty much people I've met through here lol

 

[Deleted member 17949]

idk, it's more of an idle habit like checking twitter than something that's actually important to me. At the same time I think being able to be open about being suicidal probably helpers me.

Same here. I knew there was a reason I was drawn to you. I hope you've found peace x

 

[All washed up]

It's taken over my life in a way I could never have imagined.
I used to have a great social life but unemployment and coronavirus restrictions have messed that up

 

[Disappointered]

this site has become very important to me.

 

[sadworld]

This site is my life and also my only social life. The only friends I have are on here.

 

[Frauw]

I chime in here and there, it's interesting to see differing opinions, although everyone seems to empathise and make the best effort to understand one another.

 

[Wayfaerer]

Not only is it a treasure trove on methods but you can also ask questions regarding those methods. So pretty damn essential.

 

[woxihuanni]

It is the only thing left after my idiot attempts at bonding irl. Even here there is a lot of self-x crap, though. My corpse will just add to the pile of evidence that an unfucked monkey is unhappy monkey, however fucked monkeys chatter inanely about things they don't have the brains to understand.

 

[DocNo]

i have the first time for twenty years the feeling that i talk to people who live in the same galaxy as me, so alienated became the world to me.
so yeah - i would say somehow important ^^
