For perspective (TW: suicide)

(Anonymous) 2013-08-31 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
If free, legal, painless assisted suicide had been available all your life, how many of you would not be here right now?

it's not that difficult to kill yourself, so I would probably still be here. and honestly, I would probably rather risk having a botched suicide attempt then go to the hospital or have some kind of suicide assistant come to my house do it for me. I don't want anyone to be there.

Depends how easy it would be to access.

Probably no, though.

Me.

Not so much currently thanks to therapy and meds, but in the past, my preferred methods have always the ones where there is the least chance of "failing". Free, legal, painless, and assisted? That's a lovely pipe dream right there.

pretty fucked up, too. I can think of a thousand ways it could go wrong. I imagine there would have to be a thorough psychological evaluation process to make sure the desire to commit suicide wasn't just a whim or a consequence of a mental illness that could be treated. I'm bi-polar and before I was diagnosed there were periods when I was very depressed and borderline suicidal but then there would be long stretches where I was totally fine. Therapy and medication has helped a lot, and ultimately I'm happy to be alive. It would be pretty awful if someone when to a suicide clinic or whatever when they were on a down swing and made a choice they couldn't take back. I would foresee many lawsuits

It would have had no impact whatsoever for me. But I'm ornery like that, and basically spent eighteen months, many many years ago, telling my own brain to shut up and sit down.

Right here.

Also, I'm not overly concerned with the legalities of it. I mean, I'll be dead, what do I care if it's against the law.

I'll level with you, if I ever see a violent crime occurring, I plan to go out like a hero.

I... probably wouldn't? Hard to say for sure, but, yeah, that'd be my guess.

I'm glad as all hell that form of suicide isn't around though!

If, in this weird scenario, it didn't have to be done at a hospital and it was guaranteed to work, I would've taken it.

Re: For perspective (TW: suicide)

(Anonymous) 2013-09-01 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
seconded

for the record, i am glad the option wasn't available, as i enjoy being alive now, if that's important info to the op

It's not the potential pain that keeps me from doing it, it's that I'm too nice and can't stand to thought of doing this to my mother and (few but good) friends. So it wouldn't change anything for me.

I'd be six feet under. And a lot less happy than I am now.
