Selfish, on my part, yes, but I have to live with the disorder and they don't. Addressing my health as I see fit is my responsibility. I can't make decisions based on how it affects others. They are not fighting it, I am.

Why is this turning into Vigo's right to die? Are you seriously planning this and need our support or just liking the argument or are you interested in upsetting those of us in grief over our sui attempts or our children's sui attempts and what about the successful sui attempts of our loved ones?
I don't consider grief a selfish emotion at all. You just lost your daughter, of course you're in grief. I'd even guess you'd want to die after losing a child. A sui leaves a horrible trail of pain for the family and friends, even if you're estranged from your family, you leave them with an enormous burden of grief and pain if you take that route. I think that's why people here try to help people and avoid that gorey outcome.
Peace.
