What have you gained the most out of this forum?

[Lost Magic]

I was curious, to know, what you feel you have benefited the most out of this community? For me, I have gained compassion, understanding and access to some peaceful methods.

 

[Hawthorne]

I am only new but was relieved to find this forum. It's nice to be honest on here without fear of being judged. I can't talk to anyone irl about all this. So, relief at finally finding a platform to read and talk about this with supportive and understanding folk.

 

[thedaywillcome]

Understanding

 

[Treeline589]

A peaceful method and others I can talk to that understand what I am going through

Information about how to go about CTB, a sense of not being so alone in wanting to CTB, knowing there are others out there, something to stare at, read and reply to while I'm bored, that is in the area of interest that my mind currently is geared towards

 

[Foresight]

Understanding, compassion, conversation and learning preferable methods. I was screaming into the void and planning to drown myself before.

Communication on SS will likely be one of the last vestiges I make before I go, so just being able have an outlet like this is really appreciated. It is nice to have found SS and the people here who can understand and relate to where I am in my life. I've learned that I'm going to have to, most likely, change or modify my Plan A, which I kind of thought had a couple really unwanted negatives associated with it, anyway. I've learned that it is going to take more effort on my part to come up with a peaceful way to ctb in the future when I get to that point. And I've, also, learned of myself that, even though I really hate the world I'm living in, and my life, that I still have feelings of compassion, empathy, and understanding towards others experiencing low points, perhaps THE lowest points, in their lives.

2 bottles of N and a peaceful way out.

 

[VoidDesirer22]

Knowledge of SN, courage to buy N, and a place to be 40% honest.

 

[onlyanimalsaregood]

Understanding, empathy, some friendships, being able to vet, help other members in any way I can and reduce loneliness.

 

[its-about-time]

Information that helped me choose and acquire my method, and opportunity to talk about how I'm really feeling without people freaking out.

 

[Al Cappella]

A way to nail down how I feel about all this. Part of my deal is that I'm plagued with ambivalence and feelings that can't be trusted. Finally being open about this stuff. That, and some folks here seem rather interesting. Makes up for the annoying ones…

 

[existcrisisactor]

a refuge to post about my suicidal thoughts and venting without someone trying to "save" me or telling me stupid platitudes that just piss me off

 

[FuneralCry]

Nothing at all. What I need is the option of euthanasia available for me, as then that cannot fail. Hanging and drowning scare me too much. The fear of failure is what holds me back from ctb. Suicide should not be so stigmatised and our right to die should always be respected. People should not be expected to suffer for decades against their wishes.

knowledge regarding the Nitrogen exit bag method

 

[downndone2]

Understanding, knowing I'm not alone, ctb methods (I was going to shoot myself before discovering about N), helping when i can, commenting when i want

 

[sadnurse]

Peaceful methods, friends who understand,also found love in an unexpected place, unfortunately he ctb……

 

[xo777]

Peace and understanding.
I always felt like a terrible person for being ready to leave but this site is one of the few places where no one gives me a hotline number or gets angry. It's comforting.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

I was thinking about this question some more, and though I've only been on here a very short time, I think what I've gained the most from being here are much needed reprieves from my lonely, pathetic, and meaningless existence, even if only temporarily. It doesn't really change anything for the long term for me. But, for the breaks I get from my mind, I am very grateful. It's a needed escape as I take care of my business over the next several months.

 

[Manaaja]

Methods.

I also like playing Pokemon Showdown with people.

 

[dreambound]

Apart from practical information, i mostly come here for the reality-level wisdom that has unfortunately come from hardships endured.
Most people i have contact with in the day to day world are optimist-bias people that have never questioned societies conditioning, so SS is a sort
of haven for me to come & listen to the thoughts of like-minded people, as i am always lost for words when confronted with normies telling me how wonderful the world is.......

 

[symphony]

The community is great but by far the most valuable thing I've found is methods. A reasoned, evidence-based discussion of what methods are out there. Links to sources (e.g. PPeH) to learn more. Info on how to get the means. I doubt I would have found any of that without this site.

 

[szinigami]

Knowledge of peaceful options, understanding.

 

[whatevs]

Entertainment, conversation/debating with honesty about verboten subjects, knowledge about the existence and virtues of SN and N, psychological insights.

 

[Al_stargate]

A peaceful method and others I can talk to that understand what I am going through

This and distraction for a while. To give me some focus on other things than my shitty situation.

All of that definitely. It's still a bit of a shock and kinda foreign for me to be able to be honest with others. And tbh, it's freakin amazing that I don't have to pretend or hide things. It's also humbling to hear others talk about what's going on inside of them.

 

[Weebster]

Lifelong friendships and bonds that will prove unbreakable through the passage of time. Yay verily

 

[Talvikki]

I'm here to kill time. I have made up my mind on ctb, Now it's just overcoming the SI.
