whatever, this may anger you, but unless you're a very old person, and likely not even then, the idea of euthanasia for bipolar disorder is not only disturbing, but pisses me off. You obviously need serious help not only from a psychiatrist, but a therapist, likely in a hospital.

Possible trigger:

My family lost my 24 year old nephew to suicide. The illness took him. It screwed up his thinking so that he believed he'd never get relief. The illness was a liar and a murderer. I've had periods of years of extreme unwellness. What a damned pity it would have been if I had allowed the illness to murder me.

I have to say that these euthanasia posts are an extremely bad idea to have on a forum, especially in regards to mental illness. Such posts would be banned on another bipolar support group I was a member of.

I care about you and others suffering from mental illness very much. When I hear of suicidal talk, which euthanasia qualifies for, I wish I could drag the person to a hospital by reaching into my computer and pulling them out. I kept quiet in these euthanasia posts before, but couldn't take it anymore. This talk does harm to others, not to mention yourself.
