Sorry if this is a dumb question, I can't find many helpful resources for it online. I've seen a few cases where someone attempts & is kept "alive," in a purely medical sense, by their loved ones after doing horrific damage to their body (& most notably to their brain). Obviously I don't want this, & I am very afraid of it because I suspect my parents may do so in the event that I fail. I don't think my doctor would write a DNR for me since I am only 20 & in good physical health, and have a long record of mental health hospitalizations. I don't know much about DNRs, so if anyone has been able to sign one in spite of a history in the psych ward let me know. I already mentioned this in a list of my last wishes accompanying my goodbye letters, but I don't think it'd be respected. Are there any other options? I'm planning on ctb tonight but if there's a chance that a doctor will approve a DNR for me I can postpone. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
