I did say I accepted it was controversial and accept if some want it removed. If you and others have a problem with the thread then of course you must flag my original post.
I would hope though there is room for thought provoking discussion on this forum.
I already tried taking the easy way out. It was irresponsible and most of all, it didn’t work. Nothing is more embarrassing than making an attempt just to find out you hurt others and yourself. I don’t know if God exists and wants me to keep suffering, but I know that I used to be a much happier person before this (illness) opened my head up.
I feel like my mind has become the toilet of nay sayers, Hollywood, etc…I just really don’t care anymore. I don’t even know what’s real most of the time. But somehow people in my head find value in pissing upon my life and mind and soul.
Controversial issues like assisted suicide tend to fall into slippery slopes, and I think this is one of those cases. If people are suffering from a terminal illness, then there should be services in place to assist them in ending life on their own terms, but mental suffering is not a terminal illness — death is not inevitable.
There are pretty strong pain killers out there. And as for assited suicide, how does the person know they’ll pass on to something better. It could be worse, a lot worse (hell).
I disagree, this (force fed traumatic illness) will not keep on going with me unless I allow myself to live. Sometimes I wonder why I made it. ( I ingested 100,000 mg Tylenol and went to bed for a day. Magnesium drip might have saved my life.)
Whatever it is I just don’t see the use in living anymore. I don’t have freedom of thought, I’m being gang stalked and I feel that this is a (real thing) nowadays. I get raped a few times a day, used to be about 30…so that’s not too bad. They sort of just want me to remember who’s, (in power).
I’m pretty much on the brink of killing myself. I don’t want to be touched not even by my gf…I don’t want to do anything even though I showered I don’t feel, (clean…or better). I feel my medicines are placebos that alter my mood but don’t prevent the daily symptoms…my mind is starting to go blank. They’ve pretty much raped the energy out of me.
So give me a reason not to just give up? OR HAVE THE RIGHT TO!!
Im an atheist so ending my life if i didnt have a physical terminal disease would be a waste. That being said im responding to treatment to some extent. Im going to put it out there but the vast vast majority will respond with meds , some better than others granted. What causes the most suffering in schiz imo is people fail to reign in their expectations on life which unfortunately causes further pain. Readjustment is absolutely necessary , then a person can ultimately focus on sympthoms and improving them one by one , either with meds , therapy , family support or whatever
I myself dont agree with euthanasia for the mentally ill. But if its a social talking point , uit helps to form an opinion. The reality of all this is that if someone wants to end their life , then the can choose to.
Regardless of Legislation etc , how do you make a person safe from suicide? We all know the tyranny described by george orwal , people are ultimately responsible for themselves.
It would be rare for a person who wasn’t suffering acute mental anguish to want to commit suicide. So, if acute mental suffering is all the criteria for euthanasia, then all suicides would qualify. I’m getting closer to the end, and I am wondering about “death with dignity”. My mom died with Alzheimer’s, and my dad died of a disease like Alzheimer’s, so it is likely that Alzheimer’s will get me. I wonder if there is any point where life would become so meaningless to me I would choose to commit suicide. The question is probably moot, because the authorities wouldn’t let me. Even though I am not religious, I have always been a little fearful that suicide was a one way ticket to hell. In the near death experiences I’ve been visiting on Youtube they say that if you commit suicide you just have to go back and face the same quandaries again. You don’t escape by committing suicide. I guess that’s better than going to hell.
I believe it should be allowed, but only after the individual has been proven to have exhausted all methods of treatment with no foreseeable improvement.
But I mean, even that’s iffy because science is advancing every day. What if someone offs themselves due to mental illness suffering and then a cure is discovered the next year? You never know.
From what I’ve seen of internet genetics it isn’t the Alzheimers that’ll get you! I’m confident that won’t get me and suspect it’s a different brain chemistry!
You’d be writing some stories if you do so enjoy your brain while you can!
