Discussion Death from negligence

[Ardesevent]

Is death from ignoring a condition a good way to go? It's effortless, but definitely a lot more painful than most CTB methods.
Recently, I found out I have a cyst on my body, and I'm about 99% sure it's infected. The cyst is in a area where if I just let it explode, there's a chance it will cause sepsis, or blood poisoning. The stars probably won't align for that, but I'm hoping I'll get lucky. There's no risk of anyone getting in the way either, because I don't have a job. Should I take the risk in this situation, or just go get it removed?

This just seems like wishful thinking. If you're going to live it out, you might as well live as comfortably as possible

It's up to you if it's a good way for you to go, as well as what risk you're willing to take or whether to get it removed. Maybe research sepsis and blood poisoning symptoms and deaths, see if they're what you want and can manage.

Really depends on how much possible pain and discomfort are you willing to take

Sepsis can be carried through the bloodstream to other parts of the body. If the pain were to become unbearable, and you were forced to seek medical attention, you could end up losing a limb, or with permanent organ damage, which could make your situation a lot worse.

I think that the potential risks involved in this far outweigh any chance of this achieving a desirable result.
