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.

Yeah, they do it so they're free from "liability".
I wish I kept my emotions in check. I literally talk to myself during the the day, I'm so alone so when a little steam comes out the whole volcano frigging erupts. Damn it. Lesson learned

This idea that "my desire to CTB increasing is a good thing" comes from already decided that you want to do it
and thus anything that reinforces the decision is positive? Normally, we don't want unpleasant feelings to proliferate.

im not OP but i'll answer for myself: if the desire to cbt is increasing its easier to cbt. i want to cbt constantly and im in agonizing pain everyday but nothing has sent me over the edge yet. i want my desire to increse so i can finally be 10000% sure i am ready and finally do it. if it doesn't increse i will not cbt and live in suffering for the rest of my life. sorry for eng

Bear in mind that he did it because he cares about you and wants you to recover.
I know it gets your back up when you're admitted and it feels as though the world is falling in on you, but it really isn't.
This is another stepping stone towards recovery

I didn't want to comment but here I am. please ignore the insensitive comments and remember there are prolifers who pretend to be suicidals here. Do whatever you need to do to get out of the mental jail.

Yeah some of the comments that question the sincerity of my desire to ctb hurt a bit. But I just brush it off, people will have their opinions so whatever lol
I made a mistake in confiding in a friend about mental suffering because I was talking to them at an emotional vulnerable time. I thought he would just be like "there there" and pat on me on my shoulder and get on with his day. Big mistake on my part, lesson learned. No biggie.
Update: I got out an hour ago!

I am sorry you confided in someone (even if it was not entirely your choice) and they let you down. This must have been very painful. Regardless of how much future you may have, I hope you find a stronger friend to share it with.
Unrelatedly, 93 posts in just over 1 day, wow. Your really found the forum you want to share with!

But being normal doesn't give you the power to see the future. Just because you recover doesn't mean the op will. Everyone's situation is different. Though clairvoyance would be great to have in the stock market.
Does this mean the normies are secretly wizards?

Thank you Yeah it was boring. I maintained a "normal" and "this is all a misunderstanding" disposition and they eventually figured out that I'm sane. So they let me go. I was super kind to them and made sure to thank them profusely for looking after me. If you met me IRL I look like I have never thought of ctb in my whole life. It's just how I carry myself to avoid suspicion.

Yes but you don't know who will recover and who won't. You're no wizard, either.
The vast majority of people who experience mental health problems go on to make a recovery.

And there are those who don't. That's why some are on this forum. Even if the vast majority recover, it isn't fair to just say, "you will get better" to every person that has issues.
It's really nice of you to wish for recovery, but to promise recovery is what antagonizes people on here. It brushes off the harsh reality of the situation, it has come to ctb because there is no other escape or choice.
None of us knows what will happen in the future. But it isn't right to assume that we do know for others when we only know them from a screen. We can only take what we know from their posts and avoid making things worse. Especially on this site, you have to really be careful of what you say, the intentions may be good, but the reception may be negative.
If you had said that in the recovery section, none of us would be debating with you. The problem lies in that this is the suicide discussion section. Positive words are not expected on this section unless the poster explicitly asks for it.
I really don't want to further derail from what op posted. Op is asking for support and arguing on won't help them. I don't expect you to understand my viewpoint, but know that not many people appreciate hearing positive statements.

"it has come to ctb because there is no other escape or choice"
and
"Positive words are not expected on this section"
This attitude has no doubt contributed at least in part to the reputation this forum has within the media.
Writing as though each of us are resigned to ending our lives is immoral and deeply unhealthy, and makes viewers (read the media) question the intentions of some users on this forum.
If I had given a platform for toxic positivity, I would understand your comments. However, all I said was that the person who contacted the psych had done so out of concern, just like most normal people would.
In addition, I attempted to encourage the OP to view this as a stepping stone to recovery.
I don't expect you to understand my viewpoint either.
Congratulations on extricating yourself! It's absolutely atrocious how anyone can be criminalized, tormented, and locked up just for not being a happy, obedient social robot every waking moment.
