Terminal illness or suicide?

[cazwiz]

If you were to receive a diagnosis of a serious illness would you ditch your suicide plans and take a course of no action and let your illness become terminal? A sort of passive suicide by not fighting?

If its not painful then prolly yes

 

[Life_and_Death]

that depends whats the illness. is it years of painful suffering? in which case "wheres that bottle of SN?" is it a slow type of death that you dont really notice? YOLO and you cant stop me lol

I'd be grateful for it as a backup if I don't succeed in my ctb attempt, but I'd want to go out the way I want to. Getting really sick would only make my problems worse and I don't even want to deal with them in the first place.

No, the diagnosis of a terminal illness would actually make it absolutely certain that I would end my life before the illness could rob me of my sanity or physical ability. I don't really fear being dead, but I do fear the process of dying, especially dying in a very painful or squalid way. Illnesses such as cancer can be quite merciless in terms of suffering towards the end, so I'd choose to prevent all that suffering while I still could.

I would rather become terminally ill than win the lottery at this point.
I pray for any kind of death for myself.

If it wasn't for SI, I'd definitely prefer to ctb but if I get a terminal illness I will be refusing treatment (except for painkillers).
I actively/deliberately do things that increase my chances of getting a terminal illness.
If I do get a terminal illness & if it is painful enough maybe that would help me bypass the SI & I'd ctb.

I would let the illness take me, so people around me feel better about it.

Such as?

@mahakali88 "such as?"
(Forgot to put in the quote & can't figure out how to add it in an edit!)

Eg. Smoking & drinking

Won't answer with more detail, if anyone who knows me is on this site/watching this site I don't want to post stuff that might indicate that I am who I am.

I think hanging is still better and way less traumatic than dying of some fucked up painful disease like cancer.
I wouldn't wanna spend months in bed, drugged up, unable to move and in pain like my grandmother bofore she died, it's horrifying.
