Celebrate Death Mourn Life

It saddens me that websites like these get so much bad rep. I have read countless stories about verbal/physical/sexual abuse and mental/physical illness on here. Please know that some of us have tried many routes to keep us from ending our lives. This includes therapy, medications, Suicide prevention lines, mindfulness, meditation, seeing a psychiatrist/doctors etc. None of these options have made a noticeable impact.

Before you pass judgement, you must consider the amount of pain we are going through and the reasons that has lead us down this path. This world is driven by corporate greed and making profits is given more priority over one's well-being. Our healthcare system and our society has greatly failed us because proper outlets are not implemented to help people. By disagreeing with the right to die, you are stating that we must endure the pain, trauma and abuse no matter what. Some of us have exhausted all routes and this is our only option. If the tables were turned, you were in unimaginable pain and absolutely nobody would help you, wouldn't you want to end your suffering as well?

This website is an outlet for many who feel cornered. It is a community where people share their problems and connect with one another. For some of us, we are given more support here than any therapist, psychiatrist, and/or religion combined.

Lastly, life treats everybody differently. Therefore you do NOT have the right tell us that suicide is wrong or bad.

I've tried over 8 years of therapy (different therapists, none of it helped), 3 meds and counting, TMS, every alternative remedy under the sun. I really want to be dead. I'm just carrying on for now so I don't hurt my family. I also spent 1000s on self development/therapy workshops. Every day with mental illness is another day of torment. I've walked down countless streets in tears and wanting to die. I really want my suffering over and to die will be a relief.

Yes, I agree. People who haven't been suicidal themselves will never be able to comprehend what it is like. Life is so cruel and many people are trapped in hopeless situations. It's why I see the right to die as important, as only we are experiencing what we are going through, so we should be the ones to decide when to end it, not society dictating that we must live at all costs, even when we are suffering to extremes. It isn't like we have an obligation to stay alive as we never asked to. This forum really is needed and helps a lot of people.

I'm totally over prolifers and the public. They dont care about anyone but about themselves. They do what they do like well programmed robots. I know what to expect from them: a bunch of shit.

I think it is actually healthy to have a good balance between pro lifers and this website. You want both to protect people who shouldn't ctb as they will be fine in time, and yet for those in pain that ctb is a valid option they can get community help from SS.
