If you had the option to be euthanized, would you do it?

[LifeCanBeCruel]

Not this second but I know I'll need to unalive myself before long. Euthanasia would be so much more merciful than trying my luck with drugs from an unknown origin, I'd also not have to worry about someone saving me.

 

[luciole]

Belgian option certainly suisse option too expensive for me

 

[ElectronicPoet]

totally.. it's just the best option, really. no mess for anyone to clean up afterwards, the people around are in understanding and agreement with your decision. probably peaceful and not really painful, too (although I haven't done enough research just yet). I really wish it was cheaper and more accessible, but we can only dream, at least where I live.

Agreed, and I love your Minori pfp! <3

 

[annointed_towers]

Yes

 

[Pidgeons_Sparrows]

yeah sure

 

[IWishToDie]

I've been researching assisted suicide and euthanasia for a bit and I'm just curious what everyone's thoughts are on the subject. Would you choose it as your CTB method? How would you wish for your experience to be? Just discuss it in general, I'm interested in hearing some opinions :)

If I had N right now, I'd write my note then swallow it. My spine pain just gets worse.

 

[suicidesheep31.1]

Yes, I am applying for it.
However, this is quite long. At least 2 years and without the certitude that you will qualify for it.
But definitely, I am dreaming of it.
If someone tells me know, do you want an injection, I would say yes.

 

[leavingthesoultrap]

I'm happy with SN I am kind of 'do it yourself' person

 

[trashhologram]

I would do it if it was possible. It seems peaceful and it's nearly impossible to fail.

I think knowing it was an option would give me so much peace. Like… a known expiration date I could choose would allow me to cope more.

This uncertainty I have about if I'll ever be able to CTB successfully or just have to suffer through an untold number of years until "natural" death makes agonising days even harder, and depression / anxiety worse and it swallows me.

I think if I knew I could easily access euthanasia, I would be able to focus better on making the time my mum has left on this earth good - see her more, embrace the good moments for what they are, however fleeting. Then, once she has passed, I would ensure my fur babies were placed in loving forever homes with people I truly trusted to care for them, donate all my stuff, leave my job, maybe spend whatever money I have saved to see a few places in the world I've always wanted to if my anxiety was under control, then head to my final destination to catch that bus as at peace with any decision I've ever made in my life.

To be honest, if I was financially well off enough to never have to work or engage with humans that I don't want to, I'd probably last a lot longer in my little disassociative bubble without all the stressors of debt, bills, work pressure, PEOPLE, societal expectation etc on top of debilitating grief. I'd still feel crappy as depression and anxiety and lifelong suicidal ideation doesn't go away but I would feel like I could breathe more. Breathe enough to see some final wonders. Then fade out.

 

[cold_severance]

i wouldnt say that my preferred option, since i want to do things myself. nevertheless it would be nice to have that as a plan b thing.

 

[jbear824]

Absolutely. Assisted suicide is my preferred method. But that won't be available to me for a long time if ever since I have no chance of becoming a Canadian citizen in order to utilize MAID.

Sorry to hear that :(
Not sure exactly what you're going through but I hope you find peace <3

If you don't mind, could you elaborate on what the process is like to apply? I'm super curious. Not to be too personal, though <3

Perfectly said, I wish the best for you <3

 

[eashanm]

Yes!

 

[worstgirl7716]

I think it would be nice, less traumatic than my family finding my body.

 

[JKAC]

Yes if it were an option but I feel like that's going to be the same with a lot of the populous here

Came back to this thread to re-read some stuff and I just realized, is your quote from the song Rolling Girl by Wowaka? It just made me smile :)

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Yes, I would

 

[Defenestration]

YES
YES it will be a DREAM !!!

 

[almondmilk]

not a second thought , i would do it instantly

 

[turbomightbegone]

only if I get to inject myself, all alone without anyone judging me. and only after I get to say goodbye to my friends and do whatever the hell I want to do.

 

[passivethought121]

Honestly I don't know who wouldn't excluding financial concerns

 

[dggtscccvfd]

Of course. Euthanasia is the dream. Guaranteed death, surrounded by loving family, what more can you ask for? It beats every suicide method hands down!

 

[sylvey]

I would in a heartbeat if it meant everything would stop

 

[Ironborn]

Absolutely, even if I never ctb just "knowing" the option is there would be a great relief.
