I have had 2 attempts and I have 24/7 chronic pain. I also have massive depression and BPD and a host of other issues regarding mental health. Oh and I have been hospitalized ALOT.
Also I am NOT pro or anti choice, everyone makes up their own mind and choices. BUT, I agree with @DeathcomesUwU that one should explore. I will leave it at that and let everyone fill in after explore what they wish. BUT CTB is final and some will zing me here as being "pro life" and that is further than ever from the truth. As some folks on here who have had a bf or gf drop them, not get good grades, not get into the uni of their choice, the list goes on. These are reasons that one should explore everything in detail.
Now I am 65, in 1974, I was kicked out by my "parents". I lived in a car for almost a year, ate a whole lot of crackers, noodles, whatever was cheapest, did NOT go to college till I was 24. Had to eat, have a roof over my head and save to go to college.
Now even after all of this I in my 50's tried to ctb twice. Both times, first time I have ever mentioned this ANYWHERE, was because of a gold digging wife who screwed me out of a hell of a lot of money and tried to end it all twice basically. Oh, ya I dumped her big time. Since then I have been in a car crash which caused the 24/7 chronic pain. Oh, car crash NOT my fault. Now some day CTB might come back in play if I go into a wheelchair and/or the pain is 100% unmanageable, BUT even then it will be after I have explored EVERYTHING to try and help me. Another words, ctb is the final solution.
I am NOT a hypocrite ever, yes I have tried to CTB twice, but I hope that I have learned a little from those experiences and also the 65 years that I have been on this planet and I NEVER wish upon anyone what I have gone through and/or endured as a result of the CTB experiences. I love each and everyone on this site. Always have , always will, and that includes the folks that have zinged me and been nasty in the past on this website. Life in its essences is too short to carry a backpack full of useless rocks that just weigh a person down.
I have 1 wish, and that is that EVERYONE here keeps and has the ability to have respect for each and every member here, and DO NOT please zing me. We WORK TOGETHER NOT APART and everyone deserves their opinion and EVERYONE'S respect.
