Was in the exact same boat as you. Planned on offing myself by shotgun until I saw this video. Then thought, "fuck that, this is horrible." And now I'm alive. Reddit banning WPD was a stupid mistake since many people no longer have access to video deterrents like this one.

That's the question though. Is it always a deterrent? Does it also help idealization? I feel like it deters more, but idk if this kind of thing has been studied enough.

shit like this opens your eyes to the realization that once its over, its over, no turning back, its just not worth it no matter how bad things get

Did it seem like a permanent solution to a temporary problem?

No because in the moment the "temporary problem" keeps on going on and on

I can relate to that. For me it goes up and down.
