Hey to all of you.
I am new here so I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Julia, nickname Jule. I'm 23 years old and from Germany. I've been suffering from several mental illnesses as well as from neurological problems. I don't know how much longer I can stand this shit, and for some time I've been thinking about taking my fate into my own hands before being dependant of other people. To be honest, I don't yet know if I want to commit suicide. But I hope to get in touch with people who understand my concerns. I speak English and German fluently, so I'm looking forward to receiving lots of messages.

Best wishes
Jule

Hi Jule, welcome to this community. I'm sure you'll find all the support you're looking for here.

I also suffer from neurological health issues (damage from lyme) which is the reason I'm here.

If I understood it correct you haven't got any diagnosis for multiple sclerosis yet? (No MRI and/or Spinal tap taken?)
Please don't make any rushed decisions, if you have ms medication can help you physically, and it can take many years before it gets worse, and during those years it's not unlikely that there will be cures for this illness, I feel quite certain a lot of things will happen in the coming decade. When it comes to understanding about illness and to solve health issues we have been in a linear progress for many years, but I would almost for certain say that this will be more exponential over the coming years.

I'm not trying to dismiss your suffering, believe me I know how it feels to be scared of the future because of health issues.

Ps. I saw you are looking for people to discuss with, I wish I had the energy to get in touch and discuss, but unfortunately my health is to bad. But I still want to share some thoughts.

I've been diagnosed with an early state of MS two months ago. I've been so shocked, that I hardly understood anything. Right now, I'm doing relatively fine, obviously thanks to lots of medication, but my doctor already toldmme that there's a big chance, I'll be depending on assistance from others before I'm 30

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2004, in these years I've had 8 relapses, especially in the early years, even if it comes back when you least expect it. I find the worst thing about this disease is the awareness that it can get worse at any moment.

I've been crying buckets since I got the diagnose. It put my life upside down since.

I can relate. I've been diagnosed with a degenerative autoimmune disease as well. Never been the same since then.

So sad to read all this. But it's good to know that we are not alone. Love to all of you
I'm able to write and receive PM now.

This is kind of ironic, we just lost a Julia who was from Germany as well two days ago.
Welcome and good to have you here :)

Until a real right to die exists this is sadly the only way to be prepared, given that in all likelihood you'll be kept alive for a long time even if you become a vegetable and you don't even have any say about your own life.

Yes, I've read about Julia too. I hope they both made it peacefully. Probably if I decide to take my life in the end, I would rather have someone with me too

Hi Jule! I am from Germany too. As you can see by my post count I am a longterm member of this forum. Such a diagnosis must be pretty shocking it is especially hard if you really want to live but you feel like you are forced to committing suicide. You probably have to think a lot about what you really want and what the prognosis in your case is.
I have several mental illnesses and struggle a lot because of that. I hope you find communion and support in this forum.
