Euthanasia for OCD a few months away

[Praying 4 a Miracle]

Congratulations! I do have a quick question though, are you suffering from physical pain as well? Or is it strictly emotional pain from the OCD?

My euthanasia request was granted a few weeks ago and meow I'm waiting for the appointment with the doctor whom will actually put me to sleep and sdminister the barbituates to stop my heart.

I hope I can endure the next few weeks/months and then fight my survival instinct to leave this world and all my problems far behind.

Regardless, holistically I am still extremely grateful I was given this life. May everyone here find peace either in this world or the next

Very happy for you

Do you know what the process will be like? I am schizophrenic and I'm very interested in this option. Wishing you luck and eternal peace!

I don't know whether they allow it for psychotic disorders like Schizophrenia. It took me 3 years and is relatively hard to get I was also always in therapy e.g. 1.5 years residential treatment

One of the conditions is that the disease/disorder has to be 'incurable'. I know for sure that both bipolar and schizophrenia are considered incurable. The first thing they tell you after being diagnosed is that you will have to take meds 'for the rest of your life'. So yes, it should be allowed.

However, another condition is that you have to be 'wilsbekwaam'. This could be a problem if someone's experiencing psychosis, but not if they're 'stable'.

I'm sorry you have to go through this, I wish you all the best.

Congrats. Most of my questions have already been answered earlier in this thread. But, what was the process like? I know it's different here in Canada. But I've been getting nowhere with my attempts at getting approved for autism/asperghers. Wondering what the process it like over there. Do you have any idea how long you have to wait? Are they going to give you a time frame for you to choose from as to when it can be done. Or something else?

Hey, I hope its ok if I ask you a few questions. I also have severe OCD and bpd as my main diagnoses. How difficult was it/what requirements were there to be able to have assisted death? I've been in therapy for much of my life + tried 3 different medications for ocd and am still suffering greatly. Do they accept foreign patients and do you know what the process is like for people that don't live in the netherlands/belgium? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

severe ocd is a really harsh disorder without many good treatment options

thanks for sharing your journey with us and i hope death is peaceful for you

i don't have severe ocd, but i've read enough about it and seen enough about it to know that it can be horrible for the most extreme cases, just really terrible for people who end up suffering a lot

Does this work with ASD/autism?
