Hugs to all

I wouldn’t select a cut off age of 50... but I get where you’re coming from raging vortex

I did see the program about

Possible trigger:

Euthanasia (Sp) and the organisation in Switzerland a few years ago and I too seriously considered it... my particular collection of medical and psych issues and the help (?) available locally from professionals..

The idea of living and dying with dignity ...

My distrust of doctors and medical procedures

The scares they have given me... unnecessarily so...

I don’t even have a passport currently but I too haven’t ruled out that route ... I don’t have any moral objections to it personally.

Papa bear thinks they wouldn’t take me.. i currently avoid doctors but when I do consult them (or dentists) papa bear suffers as I do.. I cause him stress and distress... I hate that.

The idea of living to 70 with my collection of medical issues is not at all appealing to me

Papa bear actually understands this. I wouldn’t expect anyone else to understand.

I probably sound like a “horrible selfish person”

I doubt if I would actually go through with it...

I do not like the idea of “the future”

I survive because I try (but often fail) to live in “the moment”

I agree with ... how much pain before you have had enough. And my parents, units and their abuse and abandonment play into that too...

yes... you could potentially

Possible trigger:

decide to take your life just as things are getting better, but then that means you've been fighting too long and can't see it anyway

do you know what I'm saying?

it's okay saying oh, things might get better in X amount of years, but then like I say, the question is can you wait it out that long

I think if my life was to take any positive direction, for example, I would need the help of a magic lamp (and even then I'm sure the genie would find it hard)

at mote of soul, yes, god bless the queen. the royal family do live to good old ages (I guess it's something in the blood)

as for the comment about euthanasia,

Possible trigger:

I saw a programme on it a few years ago, and seriously considered the clinic mentioned (I believe it was in switzerland), but their's the fear of flying, the cost of getting out their, the planning, etc etc

but despite my intense fears of flying and airports, I've not dismissed the idea of it.

Possible trigger:

for anyone curious, the documentary is called choosing to die, and it is narated by terry pratchett (I believe I've mentioned it several times before in other threads)
