Venting Talking about CTB helps more than avoiding issue

[alexit]

I just want to say how much fun I'm having on the site and how grateful I am for the community. That may sound macabre but being able to discuss CTB openly, including methodology, has been helpful to me. I'm a member of another forum but one that prohibits discussing methods. I've had less anxious moments since I joined this site because it's refreshing to talk to other people who think people should be able to CTB and it's empowering to know there are options, like someone said to me CTB as an insurance policy. It's terrifying to think things could get worse and I'd have no escape.

It's so important to have that freedom. Perhaps paradoxically, giving people the ability to speak openly about suicide and providing them with the means to do it peacefully, is likely to calm people down so that they don't rush into suicide or spend all their time alive agonising over it. When we finally get there as a civilisation, we'll be in a much better place.

Can't agree more.

it's the same for me. getting these thoughts off of my chest has given me some relief. if people could let others truly speak their mind without fear of backlash or punishment, maybe we'd be farther along as a society.
