It's a lie. There is nothing wrong with me, and if you're suicidal too, there is nothing wrong with you. It took me years to realize that I just want to die. Better that than lying to myself. Anyway, suicide seems to be mother nature's way of saying, "hey there, now you have nothing left to lose, good luck"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703784548093472811.post-50831355714764474692013-12-11T22:52:41.292-06:002013-12-11T22:52:41.292-06:00I despise the fact that if a person is suicidal th...I despise the fact that if a person is suicidal the police are called in as if they are a criminal. I think that when one is exhibiting suicidal feelings, this is a time when they need compassion, not to be treated like they are "bad" and "wrong."<br />With regards to assisted suicide, I watched my father slowly die, with chronic pain and with his mind being taken from him. In the end, he refused treatment for a blood clot in his leg. My family is very grateful that hospice was there and that he wasn't forced to continue living under unbearable circumstances.<br />My brother lives with severe chronic pain due to a back injury. His left foot constantly feels as if it is immersed in boiling water. This is the kind of pain that leads people to commit suicide. I hope he doesn't, but the thought does cross my mind. I don't know if I could deal with pain like he lives with every day. I live with chronic, low-grade pain (fibromyalgia and sciatica) and sometimes it depresses me because I can't remember a time when I wasn't in pain.<br />Suicide needs to be decriminalized, and suicidal feelings need to be treated with compassion, regardless of the reason for them.Ornery Owl of Naughty Netherworld Press and Readers Roost https://www.blogger.com/profile/07596105116325246476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703784548093472811.post-37717104271590850672013-12-09T18:46:18.966-06:002013-12-09T18:46:18.966-06:00if people want to die you let them. who are we to ...if people want to die you let them. who are we to give advice.bio cleanerhttp://www.biocleanservices.comnoreply@blogger.com
