I feel like my reasons are invalid

[tehdisturbedone]

The more I sit on here, the more I notice I am still kind of pariah in comparison to those with physical ailments, because I only have mental disorders. I saw a vet talk about the difference between problems and inconveniences on the JRE podcast, and he mentioned that problems are things you can fix, like being born a certain color, and inconveniences are things you can fix. I realize what I have would fall under inconveniences more than problems because I think it's fixable for some. Thing is, my problem is being alive or born and my inconvenience is living. I don't know I feel like I do connect to people here but then again I don't.

How do some of you on here with physical ailments that would qualify as disabilities look at people without? do you guys despise people who have no physical ailments yet still want to end their lives?

So called "mental" illness is as physical for me as my stomach issues. The question is really if you can deal with it or not, if you know what caused it, lets say your environment and if getting out would solve it, i have tried for years, but I just have piss poor genetics, so im choosing this because its either a painful slow death over the years or quick and painless.

I would definitly try to get better first if that was possible, but a lot of "mental" conditions are not curable in this day and age.

We all suffer for different reasons, I dont have a reason to despise anyone for that.

I feel the same way, whatever dice got rolled during my inception has me predisposed to suck at life. I too have had irritable bowel syndrome since around the 6th grade when I began to have somatic issues. The somatic issues are beginning to manifest in bigger shapes and forms now.

Nothing wrong with mental disorders. That's the reason I'm here. 22 years of it and I'm having enough.
Everyone on here as their reasons to be on here and CTB so please don't think you are any different to me and to them

Started with IBS for me aswell when I was 12 so 11 years ago, 90 % of serotonine is produced in the gut, so makes sense that when the gut is out of touch so is your mind.

People differentiate them as if mental illness isn't the result of physical processes in the brain. There must be some kind of metaphysical voodoo at work I guess, when dealing with mental illness.

I have complex regional pain syndrome which is the highest ranking pain condition in medical history. I've had it for 14 years and am in the most excruciating pain every second of every day. I haven't left the house for all these years because I can't take sound. I can't talk much and I can't listen to others. It's nerve pain caused by the brain and spinal chord sending out false pain signals at a rapid pace. There is no cure, no treatments, and no awareness that this disease even exists. It has caused me serious depression and anxiety. To answer your question, no I don't despise people who have no physical ailments yet still want to end their lives. Depression is a real illness. There may not be anything wrong with you physically but there is something wrong with you mentally. You're suffering inside and want to die. It has to be pretty bad if you want to die.

Would you like to talk about what is making you so depressed?
