• Hey Guest,

    We wanted to share a quick update with the community.

    Our public expense ledger is now live, allowing anyone to see how donations are used to support the ongoing operation of the site.

    Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

    If you value the community and would like to help support its continued operation, donations are greatly appreciated. If you wish to donate via Bank Transfer or other options, please open a ticket.

How do you respond when people say "but you are so loved and have so much to live for!"

I hear that alot. It's kind of a generic statement used by therapists and family.

It doesn't really matter if you're loved by a few other people if you hate yourself and feel like shit 24/7.

My family say this to me all the time!!! I just say "try telling my brain that" and they never have a reply.

I guess they have so much to live for and assume it is the same for everyone else.
Congratulate them on their good fortune.

I never actually respond with anything in order to avoid an argument, but I think to myself, how dimly they understand my feelings, and how hopeless it seems that they'll ever understand.

YES. It is such a specific feeling of being misunderstood.

I say I KNOW THAT, and in spite of that I have still felt this way for a long time.

i just accept it and say "you're right" or "i love you too" or something along those lines.

it's a ridiculous statement, though, because i don't exist for anybody. i don't have to live because they'd "miss" me when i'm gone. they don't know the true me, they only have their own idea of me. that's what they love - who they think i am, not who i actually am.

Ha! That's kind of my reaction too. When I hear that, I just hear them telling me they have no idea who I am at all. Phony caring

Me too. I'm not a fan of conflict, so I tend to go under the radar and keep to myself. Things might not end well if I reveal myself for who I really am.
