There's a guy in our town with no arms or legs. Gets around on a skateboard. Shot himself in the woods during winter but was found and given medical attention. But not before he lost all 4 limbs to frostbite. I've never spoken to him. Seems to have a pretty positive disposition given his circumstances.

Also have a bro whose gf slit her wrists in the tub. She survived. Hella trauma all around. Still on the waiting list for surgery to fix her hands years later.

Had a total karen of a neighbour once...Hard not to be callous cuz she was genuinely unpleasant to interact with but found out from my roommate that several years back she came home and found her son had hung himself in the closet at like 17. Who knows if she was nicer back then but clearly permafucked her mentally. She didn't even move out. She kept living there.

Dying peacefully via MAID is certainly less traumatic to everyone else.

If our gun laws here were like those in the states, I truly would not be here right now.

The same would be of MAID if it was supplied for those with mental illnesses.

It is insane to me that people are just casually blowing this off as if it means nothing. You have no room to regret a permanent decision, and no hope to hold out on.

If my attempts were successful I would have never found myself in this spot where yes, things are still rough, but I can at least say it's better. I'd have never predicted where things would have gone ten years ago when I was still depressed and feeling suicidal then, by giving people the option to do this, you rob them of the potential for a better life forever.
