I recognized that fact when I tried to quit the forum. I really missed it so much. I just need this forum. So many familiar faces. Always when I am around normies and something triggers me I have the feeling I can post it later on SS and the people who also experience severe suicidality know why it triggered me. I feel this is a group I belong to. People with shitty lifes, hating themselves, had horrible life experiences. People who also were abused and never had a chance in life and who are now in this repeating cycle of daily suicidality. People who know that it will likely end with a suicide, people who are trapped and run out of time. I just can relate with so much what is posted on here. I am obsessed about suicde. Though I am clearly not pro-death.
Neurotypicals just don't have any clue how this feels. Even professionals who have studied psychology/medicine cannot really grasp how I am feeling. My therapist at least understood that being (severely/longterm) suicidal is a really unique experience. I think if we were in a self-help group in real life this would not be as good as SS. I think the anonymity helps to open up about feeling and stigmatized topics. The mods try as good as possible to protect us from hurtful/evil comments. But I also understand that there are sometimes disagreements and sometimes a comment can still hurt.
I am really thankful that this place exists.
