Discussion EAS/MAID in Australia

[Mx_Pathetic]

I have quite a few mental illnesses such as CPSTD, depression, anxiety, OCD, borderline personality disorder and bipolar. (Last two I'm still getting diagnosed with per-say) I'm only 21 so I don't think EAS/MAID would be available for me however 21 years is enough for me. I've been struggling ever since I was 8/9. From what I've read EAS/MAID isn't even official in Australia or it is, but it's still being debated? I really wish it was an option for me,but I don't think it will. I've tried a few suicidal attempts and I've been looking at hanging as an option. The only issue is I have nowhere that's stable enough to hold me or the materials I guess, but that's not an issue, I can always get them. I wouldn't say I'm scared of ending my own life I'm more scared of how it'll affect the people I love. I don't think I'll ever live a normal life. I don't think I'll ever be able to be happy. Life is awful and I think it's okay that I don't wanna live it. If only that was okay to society…

I also just wish for the option to painlessly die, it's all that would bring me peace, I'd personally prefer to not exist than suffer in this futile, torturous existence, I only hope to never exist again. It'll always feel so cruel to me how painless, guaranteed death is denied and instead suffering is seen as something that must be prolonged in instead but anyway I wish you the best, I also feel like I've suffered for a long time in this existence.

Couldn't agree more. I turn 22 in April next year and all I can think is nothing for me has changed since I was 18…
