Assisted Suicide???

[Nem]

Well, last night I slept a whopping two hours and that's after taking a sleeping pill! I am too sick almost to ctb, I have to pull myself together somehow but I'm just completely screwed.
I was thinking of asking my dr for assisted suicide, that could backfire though and get me thrown in a shit hole...any opinions on that?
Peace/hugs

Yeah don't ask

I wouldn't ask them, but what is it about your doctor that you're considering asking? Do you trust them like that?

I don't really trust them, I just need to get myself finished off. My dr is not that good either and I'm thinking if I brought it up I would get locked away
Actually my dr is pretty shitty

You have F on the way. Why bother with trying to get an assisted suicide.

I just recently called Exit Switzerland regarding assisted suicide, just out of curiosity. But they told me that euthanasia in the case of mental illness is very difficult and time-consuming - in other words, it's basically not worth it. Good thing I don't need their help anyway.

Interesting. I did the same thing a year ago and they told me that it could be possible given my records but yeah very time consuming and personally I think the process is humiliating. I still think about this possibility sometimes then I say to myself WTF ! All they're gonna do is hand me the N after all. I already have it so I can do that myself. Sadly that's just assisted suicide and not MAID.

You're not going to get assisted Suicide unless you have cancer and six months or left to live.

I broached it with my Dr and he just said " that's illegal"

Apparently from what I've heard, in Canada if you fall under certain conditions (and not just terminal issues) you can ask. But you have to be calm about it and show no signs of instability when asking. Which I definitely can't do because I cry a lot. Give it a look.

Do some studying before even considering telling your doctor.

Well you won't face any prison time for it. Not sure what you meant by shithole.

Just as long as you don't have plans to end it. And they don't think your going to hurt yourself you won't get put in a psych ward.
Also unless your old or terminally ill it's unlikely they will help in anyway. I wouldn't do it if I were you.

What sleeping pills are you taking? Some z-drug or benzo? My personal experience with them was that they stopped working and made me worse unless i kept increasing the dose. I stopped taking them and feel a lot better than when i was a borderline addict.

You might give it a try in the netherlands with sufficient medical records. At least then you get euthanasia instead of assisted suicide (= drinking N) or more accurate: you can choose between both. Here anyone can do a request without the fear of being locked up. Some info you seem to get when approaching the end of life clinic; https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/euthanasia-in-the-netherlands.17122/

I have read the Netherlands doesn't allow travelers to come only for that but Belgium does as long as said person can pay their stay there.

It indeed doesn' t seem to be made public (yet) so the proof is in the pudding here, several people got the same message (to read in the link I gave in my last post) when approaching the end of life clinic.

I am taking trazodone and it basically does nothing
Peace

I love the doggo in your avatar Nem. I definitely wouldn't bring that up to any doctor unless you were in one of the AS states (assuming you are in the States) and terminally ill. I used Klonopin for a long time which helped with sleep a lot, coming of it was brutal, valium generally seems to work for me, at least for anxiety not always for sleep if I'm in insomnia territory.
