• Hey Guest,

    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 think my usage for this forum is rather uncommon. I am scared to give wrong reactions which is pretty weird. I have OCD behavior when interacting and I am scared to accidentally click a laughing emoji on a post that is not funny at all. This OCD behavior is also responsible that I try to correct my threads before or after I post them.

I think someone called my behavior on this forum blog like. I see myself maybe as a combination of blogger and columnist. I just shit my uneducated opinion on almost everything. And vent about my nightmarish existence.

I will start with the evening. After I watched news I go online. So at 8:15 p.m. I open all sub-forums and scroll through the threads of the day. In the suicide sub-forum I look at all posted threads of that day. When something interests or touches me I am reading or skimming it. In the suicide sub-forum I can relate to many posts when I compare my daily feelings and thoughts. But there are also sophisticated and insightful posts for example in off-topic. In off-topic I sometimes envy people when I see an interesting thread and ask myself why I did not come up with the idea. Lol.

Then I am deciding for which sub-forums I want to post. The last months I am very depressed and posting in recovery feels fraudulant for me in this mood. Furthermore I am really bad at finding new creative ideas for recovery.
I am extremely good at finding new ideas for off-topic. For the suicide sub-forum I hold some ideas back. I don't want to spread extreme pessimism and nihilism but I allow myself to do that unfiltered when I am emotionally fucked up.

When I am ruminating so actually every single second I am conscious I make notes in my phone when I get a good idea for a new thread. Since I do that with my thoughts it is way easier to collect and remember them. I think interestingly I am the most creative when I have to face boredom. Which is in itself pretty fascinating. When I have to do chores for college and it annoys me and my mind wants to escape and thinks about something else. I suppress that need but I make notes and at the end of the day I can elaborate on them in detail which feels sometimes relieving. But also when I read David Foster Wallace I get so many ideas. Reading can be relaxing when I turn introspective.

Depending in which mood I am I am checking the notification. When I feel very alienated and lonely I check them more often.

At the morning I am checking the reactions and replies on my threads. Some people told me I should interact more. I have some anxiety about that. As I said I have developed OCD and I am scared to accidentally doxx me or insult other people. When I posted something I check the texts several times. And in the morning I usually don't want and sometimes cannot do that. In the evening I also have similar issues and I need to get my sleep which is very important for my mental health. But I tried to interact more and I hope I am less disrespecful.

I never used the chat and I barely have private messages. I am too scared to lose someone close to suicide. I can remember how I panicked when someone almost committed suicide. And I already have scars because I lost people. So I am rather distanced. I could imagine this forum could have another positive impact on me if I developed a deep friendship. However also in this relation I have become very careful. I was somewhat close to a woman in this forum. She gave me her phone number and told me I should send her a message. I was hesitant she seemed to be friendly and trustworthy but a phone number is really delicate. So I did not text her. Some days later she rampaged in the forum insulting the admin in a very disgusting way. If I gave her my number she could have blackmailed me. And I think she might did that with someone. This story is so fucking scary that my paranoia towards people here in this forum increased a lot. So I usually keep my private data private also in direct messages. Which in some way prevents close friendships.

One obivous point I am a daily user. Writing here is a valve for my soul. But when I travel to friends or something insane happens I very seldomly skip a day. I even considered to pre-write threads which is stupid. It is no necessity for me posting here. But somehow it is a duty I would like to fulfil. If it only gave me money. I have to persuade the staff to implement paywalls in front of my threads. But so far they ignored my demands to start negotiations. And I am looking not good enough for onlyfans.

In my case obviously I use this forum as a place to vent about wanting to die, this is the only place where people can be open about hating existing after all.

I can relate to several of those behaviors tbh

To answer the question, I use it to vent and to discuss methods.
