Not at all inevitable for me. If I can find treatment for my mental illness that is effective, I would love to stay. There is so much in this world that I want to experience. But if I can't find treatment that works, there is no way in hell I am going to live another 40-50 years experiencing this.
I want to die now, but it would be stupid to die before I've tried every treatment.
"Suicide is a permanent solution to a short term problem" is total dogshit of the highest order because the person saying it has no idea if the problem is short term or not. I've been dealing with bipolar for 11 fucking years. If the next treatment I try works then yeah, it's a short term problem. But if nothing works, I'll have to deal with it for decades more.
No thanks, at that point I'll just go.
