Am I allowed to say that I might kill myself and that I’m not being hyperbolic. Sorry, but it’s true. I’ll try not to, if it matters to anyone.

Please remember that you are on an international website based in the EU with a couple million visitors a month, some of whom would be extremely happy to report us to anyone they can find to get us shut down for not properly handling people presenting as reasonable risks of self harm or harm to others. So if you present as a reasonable risk of self harm we may, depending on your local jurisdiction, have an obligation to report you to INTERPOL and to your local authorities. Whether or not we act on that is largely up to a gut feeling but based on your other posts on the site today you are starting to really look like someone who is not doing a ‘cry for help’ but might actually be in crisis.

So if this is just a ‘cry for help’, please try to talk about what is going on instead of making threats of self-harm. It’s ok - you can just talk about how upset you are. You don’t have to ‘make it real’ by threatening to drink bleach until you die.
But - if you are REALLY in risk of harming yourself or someone else, please go to an emergency room or contact your local suicide hotline.
Because us reporting you to INTERPOL won’t do anything good for us, and reporting you to your ISP won’t do anything good for you, and all of it will take at least a couple hours of bullshit forms and headaches for everyone concerned.

It’s unfortunate that you don’t have an account.

What these people are saying is true: if you want to make a new account please do. Then you can talk to people here either on the site (and they’ll know who they are talking to so you can make friends) or via PMs:
If you want to do that, lots of people here will be happy to help you get it set up.
PS: Don’t take what is happening in the ‘Politics’ thread as any kind of indication of the normal users or interactions here. That is a ‘containment zone’ - a cess pool where people who only come here to complain about election results and pride month go to vent about how much they hate ‘brown people in Disney movies’ (wow, I really wish I was making that up). If they were doing that anywhere else on this site they’d be banned. So - maybe just avoid that thread, too. It’s toxic. Especially today.

Oh, okay. I’m sorry, I don’t know if I’m at risk yet. It’s just too sudden for me to know what my own instincts will be. So, it’s not an actual threat, it’s more like a “might be considering soon” thing. Sorry, though.

Thanks. Do you have a Discord account. I can’t talk until after work, but I’ll add you.

Or, you can add me, actually. I almost didn’t give my account, because I’m ban evading, which the mod here might know. So, hopefully they won’t ban me again for the time being. My Discord is: GollyFag

I dunno. I don’t hate my life, but I’ve just always thought it might be better to prevent having to deal with things getting worse. I’m not sure yet.

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks. I’m not sure if you realized who I was when you said I could make a new account or not. I will not use this situation as an excuse to try to come back, as that’d be low. If you’re cool with me using an account to talk to someone here, I appreciate thst.
So yeah, don’t report me yet. I’m not suicidal, but I fear I may become that way. Thanks! ❤️

I don’t use discord but I can try and get an account.

Thank you! I’ll make an account here if Discord is an inconvenience. Assuming that the go ahead to make a new account wasn’t conditional on me not not having ban evaded about 1000 times. Again, don’t want to feel like I’m taking advantage of the situation. Not technically supposed to be here.

It’s hard for me to give you any advice because it would ‘out’ which country you live in. But, it might be helpful for you to talk to someone who understands what you are going through. You can search online for support helplines near you (there should be several nearby where you live) and there will be people there who can listen, and who might help you process what you are dealing with.
True, online support lines can be a crap shoot - but sometimes they really work. And if you’re feeling like this, then what do you have to lose?
I’m not sure if you realized who I was … I will not use this situation as an excuse to try to come back
This site is built on the internet and uses computers. So, yes. But I think you understand that what we are trying to do is prevent drama and make sure that people (especially artists) don’t get hurt. If you want to make a new account go ahead and I’ll flag it as “on probation” or something so you can talk to others here and so others on staff don’t ban you because they realize who you are. Just please oh my gosh PLEASE take all of your previous bans as warnings and don’t create drama. Because right now we really have all the drama we can handle.
If you’re cool with me using an account to talk to someone here, I appreciate thst.
The site’s been here for more than a decade and we’ve seen people change. So we try to give people chances to change. It sounds like you’re going through something hard right now and keeping you off the site would mean banning everyone in a 100 mile radius of you so instead of doing that maybe you can just make a new profile and try to please get along and just filter stuff that we’ve asked you to filter?

Gonna take a sabbatical from all social media, including this site and Discord, for a while. I nearly did something drastic last night (and to be clear, it was none of your faults).
I’m just… so tired, man. And hopeless.

So first I get rejected from a job opening and now the election results came out to, THAT. That’s absolutely wonderful…
The music Discord server that I’m in took it worse, with one of the members paranoid about the whole Project 2025 thing and I had to calm him down. It has not been pretty at all for any of us, not even me, I’m just a bit overwhelmed.

I’m using the 5G on my phone right now, so maybe the Discord app isn’t connected to that? I’ll check when I get home.
@Ciaran
Thank you so much, it means a lot! And yeah, I’ll be good. I probably just won’t use the account very much besides DMs so I know I’m not risking anything.

I’ll make it when I get home. I might sleep first, since I barely got any last night. So just posting this now so that nobody get’s too worried. I’m good for the time being. Thanks to everyone! ❤️

Thanks to you too! Sorry, I was taking awhile compiling that comment, so I didn’t see your post. Work is picking up now, so I’d really better get back to it, but I wanted to say thanks. Sorry if I skipped anyone else. :)

I’m really just ready to put this godforsaken year behind me. Between dealing with a few deaths in my family and the election, the year has really just taken a toll on me and just want to take a Sabbatical. Deleting my twitter for good is a real good first start

Sorry to hear…
Hope you keep searching for application options though.
As for that, I was considerably devastated too when I found out.
I’m worried for the U.S., but I’m hoping people will pull through. Somehow.

Yeah, this has easily been one of the worst years of my life. By far.
I’d say I’m ready for the year to end already, but what’s to say next year won’t somehow be worse? After all, I remember when I thought it couldn’t get any worse than 2020, and it feels like each subsequent year has only one-upped that shitshow.
Fuck me, and here I thought leaving Twitter would actually help me feel better.
