I'm Canadian and euthanasia for reasons of mental illness was supposed to have become available this March. But it was delayed for a year for further study, to get the wording right. One obstacle i have is my dog who i want to take care of for the balance of her life. She is ten, so there could be only four to eight more years.
I'm so tired and my life is so empty. I don't want to live anymore. Either i'm a raving lunatic or i'm inert. That's no way to live. (...)

I am sure that many of us have had thoughts of ending life. For years I was able to cope only because I had a child to look after. I wanted to die, but that is passed.
For now you have your dog, but he is old. Is it possible for you to think of having a few kittens or another type of animal after he is gone?
Do you have a therapist? Is it possible for you to either do voluntary work or get a little more education, so you can create a better life than now.
Take care! Either you feel like it or not, you are valuable.
