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.
Why can some people deal with life, for example I read an article about a paraplegic mother who pushes her baby in front of her wheelchair and then I thought why can't I deal with my own problems?
I am in chronic pain and cannot walk anymore, but why am I suicidal but she isn't? It really makes you wonder

Maybe she is some days and some days she's not.
Maybe the not days are more frequent the days she is, and on balance she's doing okay.
That's her life though. We're all different, can't walk a mile in someone else's shoes if you can't get in them.
Peace friend

I don't know. I think it's what Dbd says and possibly our upbringing and our world view maybe. I struggle with chronic pain, it is a reason along with society changing in ways I don't like. Maybe shouldn't have commented but it's just what think.

Nothing wrong with commenting about it.
The fact is, we don't actually know she isn't. There's no way of knowing someone's thoughts unless they tell us.
She could just be really great at hiding it.
i think it's a combination of, well, pretty much everything that influences our mental state—for the most part.
I think between what genes we are born with, how we were raised to deal and cope with everything in life, the environment we grew up in, and whether or not our brains are chemically balanced..I think it all plays a part.
It's kind of like how two people can be born with the same biological possibility of being schizophrenic, but only one develops it because their environment and how they were raised were the right combination to bring it out.
It's the luck of the draw—no rhyme or reason.

I suspect that sometimes suicidal thinking has been implanted in us early in life. I was a sad child, a sad teenager, then things really got serious in my 20's and on from there. I did have a high adverse childhood events score.

Everyone is unique and so is there experiences, no two are the same. That being the case others have a higher pain threshold then others, everyone has a limit to how much bullshit they can take before they have had enough. Some hold on because of family or responsibilities, others rarely have anything really chaining them to this world. People are starting to awaken to the reality of this world, and the futility of life and it's many problems. Others purposely distract themselves in order to avoid the horrible truth, ignorance is bliss. Life is bleak, empty, and pointless. It will only get more worse as time passes by, I guess before that happens some have taken it upon themselves to end it before then. And you cannot blame them.

I have no self control and extreme anxiety/depression. I just feel like I'm failing myself year after year and I just don't care to go on anymore, I've peaked in the past and I'm willing to accept that. I'm nothing but everything I wish I could avoid.

I was thinking that it is easier- not always, but it could be a factor- for people who have dependents and ESPECIALLY a strong support network, to survive. There is something to be said for feeling needed and loved. Part of me just feels like no one is that invested in me. Which hurts, but then again, I feel more comforted when I think about my suicide in that they will be able to move forward in time, in a way that someone very much bonded to me could not.
