An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
I just can't. Things drag me down. Maybe you lads will get the idea that I don't actually want to die, but I truly do. I have some happy moments in my life, but objectively looking my life is not worth living.
How do I get courage and determination to do it?

Same here. I want to die so badly, but I can't seem to beat my SI. What are your preferred methods? SI can vary greatly depending on the method. At least that's what I've learned. If you find your method you might have the courage to do it imo
I think suicide is paradoxical in that you're most enabled to do it when you least want it (when you're happy, at peace or content). You ever hear about old guys slowly fading out on their deathbeds surrounded by loved ones? That's probably the vibe you want to go for, if you can manage to simulate it. I bet that's close to how those monks who set themselves on fire feel. I don't personally think it's a matter of courage- courage can always falter, but instead of eliminating fear.

The feeling for me comes and goes even though i know i have to go. It comes when something horrible happens and then i eventually hit a numb place, where i still dont want to be alive but the need is not as extreme and I don't actively do anything either way. I am currently in that numb place. Just have to wait for the next horrible thing to happen when my N gets here (this week) and I'm good to go. Not sure what else could go wrong at this point but i have no doubt something else will and soon...maybe you should wait for a catalyst and have everything prepared in the interim?

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're having brother.
I think that lament of fear of dying, tired of living is one lots of people can relate to.
Alas I can't help you with overcoming the SI (this is providing hugely vexing for me).
Something that some people have suggested is that they do like 'practice' runs.
I sincerely hope you find some light and peace in your future brother.

I guess so. Evolutionarily speaking, humans are programmed to avoid pain, so it makes sense that we all fear death to some degree. I suppose getting rid of that fear has to do with the way you view death, so changing the way you view death is the first step to allow yourself to accept death rather than fear it.
