How did you first hear about / find your way to SanctionedSuicide? (2nd poll)

[luri]

i found the forum through a partner. not sure if they used it too, but they made it easy to find the site when they told me about a bbc story.

After my partner passed away that fateful day I was driven to SI, in my grief I spent most of my bereavement planning and researching on how CTB in a way that I feel works for me. I'm still soul searching personally, but my mind is all but made up.

I remember watching tantacrul's YouTube video, and feeling unlike how he and the comments were saying. I felt like the view was unfair in some ways, overly critical where I felt like if I went, I might find some people who shared the same thoughts as I did. And I did go here then, but that was a couple of years ago, and my life went up more in smoke, so I decided to stop being a guest lurker.

I had never known a forum such as this existed. Over the years, I had been deeply depressed and have thought about different ways to CTB, mainly by use of herbs such as poison hemlock, which grows everywhere around here! during a "lets read" podcast I had heard of Sanctioned Suicide, and grateful to have found this supportive community! There is no other place like it.

I think I was looking for "painless ways" to ctb and ended up here, it was over two years ago though so it way not even be that way haha.

I searched for N on a 4chan archive site and an anon mentioned SaSu.

It looks like Tantacrul's video had the opposite effect judging by the poll. I think that's a good thing since this place isn't bad it's either you get it or you don't.

I think I heard about it in connection with the PPH. Being able to read and post here has helped me a lot and the people who are against the site don't understand what it is about.

fuck that tantacrul guy i never would have found this place or the knowledge which isn't ever escaping my head without that video. just liked him for some silly music stuff before. "lallalala leave rhe site then" will when i get a close fucking friend lol

I think I'd initially heard about it in a Youtube video that used just the initials of the site. I really like forums, (though didn't grow up with them), and found this place while googling around for 'suicide forums' in hopes of finding somewhere where people who could relate might congregate, since the video tipped me off on the existence of such a spot somewhere on the internet.

yup, that's the Tantracrul video! ^_^ It's ironic how he's directly responsible for 40% of the members here~ xD I hope you find comfort while you're here~ :)

Thanks, you as well. That's very kind of you to say. It is ironic, but also sort of pleasant, in a way, I think- that people who might've felt alone in grappling with their suicidality could find some sort of community, given how often ostracization and isolation feeds into ideation. Hopefully some of those ~40% who wandered on here from that lead can find similar comfort too.

I was reading and posting a little on r/suicidewatch but found it shallow and annoying, with stupid rules. I remembered reading a pro-choice forum with methods back in like the 00s and tried to find it by googling "pro-suicide forum". I don't think the site I was thinking of exists anymore but I found a bbc article which made it easy to google sasu so here I am.
