Hi,
Has anyone had a calm, rational conversation with their loved ones about expressing their wish/plan to die?
At this stage I can't bring myself to leave and just create a whole lot of pain and suffering for others to avoid my own. So I want to explain to them that it is a rational decision and not a spur of the moment thing or a symptom of illness. Its just a man who doesn't want to live anymore, but wants to minimise the pain I leave behind.
In theory it sounds great, have a loving, rational conversation with them explaining it's nothing to do with them, not their fault etc and that I've tried and tried and tried so many different things to help me, but at the end of the day I'm just not compatible with this world.
In reality, I'm worried that they would get me locked up in the loonie bin to stop me from taking my life.
If things just keep going then I will do it without telling anyone and it will cause immense suffering, so I'd like to avoid that and do it the "right" way.
*No judgement from me about others though, I totally get the desperation of catching the bus. Sometimes it's the only option and it has to be done, even though it will hurt others.
