I never imagined I’d be on a site that had anything to do with suicide. But as I read through your posts I realized immediately how your words explain so many of my feelings. It’s as if I can see what happened to me by some of your stories and I thank you for your courage to share. But what got me the most is that the one thing that we ALL have in common is that somewhere along the way we have either believed a lie or are believing a lie right now. If you are like me you have believed so many lies about yourself that you don’t even know exactly who you are anymore. I am resolved to replace every lie within with truth until the real me surfaces again. If I could reach out to every single one of you I would hug you and tell you that if you are still breathing then you ARE NOT SUICIDES child. You’ve just believed a lie. If I could take your pain away I would and it’s not because I’m a hero or anything. Its because reaching out to others not only helps them but it is the place where I’ll find me. In your stories. In your lives. In your pain.
Please Remember:
You are not Suicides Child –
You just believed a lie
Love,
Me

Yeah I have believed all the lies at times. Like Im worthless, weak, pathetic, useless and life isn’t worth living. I don’t believe life is worth living because it is not. Its just that my kids are not doing so well so I hold on at least for them. I never want them to feel what I feel inside.
We come here to vent and get Advice. This “lie” you think we are stuck in is bit of a complex and isnt the “Truth” you are selling.
We enjoy our Deathwish’s it helps us cope.
Welcome to the site/party
Please step to the edge one at a time.
I don’t believe a lie. I am aware of my reality. I’m aware of who and what I am and the limitations my “self ” imposes on my ability to function in this joke of a world. The only lies I hear are the mindless lies of the optimist crowd. The lies that ask me to “just be better”, the ones that tell me “Someone cares” and such. The truth is different for everyone. Your truth is not my truth, and assuming that one truth is universal is naive.
Thank you for your thoughtful sentiment, but know that most people who express their truth here are approaching the ends of their ropes and have found little comfort in the many platitudes of positivity. That stuff only goes so far and when it wears off and ones true self is left glowing brightly in the light of self awareness, it does no good whatsoever.
Just my opinion.
I appreciate this kind post. I’ve been on this site for many years. Suicide takes many forms and everyone’s reasoning is different. Some people have a physical disability that impairs them from living a normal life. Others are traumatized by internal voices that wont go away. The more common ones have either lost too many loved ones or fail to see a happy life in this working human lifestyle. The list goes on. And because of that, i think this post is a bit too specific. Especially when you add in philosophy of one mans truth being another ones lie.
I just wanted to write that because I knew some members were going to come in with pitchforks haha. Kinda like Once did, but they were kind about it
Anyways, I hope you’re well! We hope we dont end up bumming you out while you’re here, it kinda sounds like we did from your post :/
