Just curious if anyone over 50 is on here at the moment, and why

[BlazingBob]

I'm 51 and just wanted to see if any fellow geriatrics are out there and what brought you here

geriatrics

Geriatrics? lol. Yeah, I'm over 50, nearer to 60, but not so sure about the geriatrics label. Anyways, I'm here because life just plain sucks. No family, no friends, no hope. I'm tired, lonely, depressed (obviously), sad, and just plain miserable and just can't continue to live (exist) as unhappy as I am in this cruel, unforgiving world. I have nothing to look forward to except aging and all of the maladies and disease that come along with it.

Thank you for your response. I can definitely relate. No family and no hope either. And for the last 20 years I've been dealing with chronic physical illnesses so I've got the maladies and diseases going on already. Also severe treatment resistant mental health struggles. I'm only hanging on because of pets but they're also quite geriatric Like everyone else on here, given the state of things we should have a peaceful means of escape. I'm not even suggesting govt sponsored euthanasia or anything but just that they'd get out of the way and not crack down on things like phenobarbital. That'll never happen though. The sadistic psychos need their wage slaves, consumers, and soon more cannon fodder.

If you guys can afford it , for about $ 100 a year you could both become members of Exit International. You might be able to get what you need there .

I'm 46 and have decided that if I make it to 50, I plan to become an Exit member as a birthday present for myself.

I'd be your friend, if I wasn't crippled w an unrelenting illness and disability

I'm 43 this year! I have the exact same thoughts

I am 59 and slowly in declining health, I'm Diabetic. Rather than waiting for my body to betray me, I have decided that I do not want to go one past being 65. So on or around my birthday in 2029, I will CTB. I don't think I can much more of this life.

I wonder if fake ID would work for this. it seems cruel to withold an exit from someone due to age. Why make me exist 20 more years to be sure I want to die when I've wanted to die for so long?

What do you see as the benefit? Looks like the same materials available here for free (admittedly on a very cursory glance.)

i feel like a total baby in this thread, lol.

knowing there are people a couple decades older than me that struggle like i do makes me a little sad, but also i feel less pathetic feeling the way i do at my age.

my first psychward stay in the ward i was in was mostly people in their 40s and 50s and the rare one in her 80s. i think about those people every day of my life and wonder if they ever successfully ctb or healed in some way.

That won't work anymore . They now require video chat to verify the person on the I.D is the one applying to be a member

Easier to connect to dignitas or pegasus I would say. Access to their forums. You can also attend their meetings irl.

I'm 48 in life long recovery.

I've been stuck on this rock for 55 times around the Sun, and was high functioning until a few years ago. It's been a long downhill slide since.

50 year-old here. But no geriatrics. Reasonably fit and in decent financial situation. No friends, partner, kids or job and few prospects of getting good ones. Been unlucky with health issues very disfunctional parents. Have fought all that through because while you are young there is hope of turning things around. But as you grow older, opportunities fade away and there's so much to be fixed that it becomes almost impossible.
