The way he's talking on the User Complaints megathread makes me think he's going to kill himself, and frankly, that scares me.

I second this. Not only were his remarks in the thread disturbing but his current sig. as well is highly concerning.

Context
I'm not the one who refuses to entertain the notion of this escalating into nuclear war.

As it is, I'm probably not going to be around much longer, so you two will get your wish.

Well like I said, you two will get your wish in a couple of hours. I'll be gone for good.

Apparently a disconnection from SWIFT is imminent.

Russia has stated that they will consdier this an act of war.

This is probably gonna be my last post in this forum. Thanks for the memories guys.



His current sig.

It's not the first time either. A while ago, I believe it was during one of the covid peaks in 2020, he also wrote that he was "going to end it tonight". It was pretty disturbing at the time which is why I distinctly remember it.

Same happened in the "Wellbeing" thread.

We could get Badger to advise him what to do.

Ultimately, suicide is a personal decision.

One of my girlfriends' tenants just hung himself today in one of her rental apartments. And the weird thing is that the tenant before him also committed suicide.

Now she feels guilty because she asked him to catch up on the rent last week. It turns out he had a big fight with his girlfriend yesterday.

Either way, we could remove the suicidal posts if they get too repetitive. I think it is almost necessary in this case to have them removed. We have now passed the proposed deadline which he has done before. He then disappears and then comes back a week later.

Using suicide as a debating mechanism is a little off in my opinion, so I concur with the OP. At some point, it becomes attention seeking.

It serves no meaningful benefit to have these style of posts on the forum, either for the person involved or the remaining people left to read them.

 I'm not sure I'm qualified to give advice here. There was another poster who expressed so suicidal thoughts on Atlas a few months ago whom  I communicated with Through several P m's back-and-forth and urged him and urged him to seek immediate professional help. He responded at least a month later so I think hes doing OK, I hope?

At any rate, I certainly hope that GoTFan does the same.

I don't think anyone should be even suggesting it might be "attention seeking". Always take threats of suicide seriously.

He has a long history of doing this when called out for being overdramatic with the dooming, and did the same during the elections. As somebody who has actually been suicidal on multiple occasions, a public forum is the last place I'd announce it, short of some sort of goodbye so people didn't forever wonder where I went. I certainly wouldn't make repeated posts about it in multiple threads.

Even so. It's a good idea to always play it on the safe side with things this serious.

Still here. Disconnected to get my head right.

Employed a trick I learnt from my psychologist.

Please go for a walk, talk to a friend, eat something and sleep well if you're still not doing well.
If you are doing better that's great. Either way, you have a lot to live for, keep your head up. My DMs are always open if you need to talk to someone.

As are mine. I understand what you are going through (I go through it myself on a regular basis), and I'd be more than willing to talk to you.
