Little bit of a rant post. Some background about me: I'm nineteen years old, been majorly disabled for about six years with severe C-PTSD, OCD, anxiety, TMJ-D, tinnitus, hyperacusis, etc. etc. my medical records more or less read like an encyclopedia.

Despite everything I'm faced with, my parents (who are devoutly religious Scientologists and my first abusers; the cause of all of my physical injuries and have never sincerely apologized for anything) refuse to believe that I cannot function at a normal level and have recently threatened to render me homeless should I not complete a checklist of demands within the next two months, many of which are unattainable given my current abilities. I've been suicidal for a while due to my condition but this sent me over the edge, and within a few days I had a plan to CTB that I feel pretty confident would succeed.

I confided in my best friend about this as I wanted to prepare her for my departure so as not to blindside her, and although she understands why I'm suicidal and respects my autonomy, she still didn't take it well. She told me I'm the most important person in her life; that she couldn't cope should I kill myself. She begged me to reconsider and has now even offered to fly me to her state and provide me whatever I need to survive. I'm incredibly grateful for her generosity as I understand many people in positions similar to mine, disabled or not, aren't given such opportunities.

I warned her there's still a good chance I may kill myself. She said she doesn't care: she wants to try to help me anyway.

I honestly feel pretty selfish because one of my motivators for moving in with her is I actually think in her state I'll have more resources available should I still want to CTB, but I'm also kind of excited. It feels like an adventure. I've seldom left my bed for the last four years, so this is going to be a big change for me. Even if I still end up CBT, at least I can spend my final days with the one person who has never doubted me or made me feel like I deserved the shitty cards I was given. She's the most pure thing I have in my life and I hope to God I don't end up breaking her.

Support can be healing to the soul. Maybe thats EXACTLY what you need right now. Take them up on the offer. Just be prepared that you may not be able to return home ever (not that it sounds like a place you'd ever want to return to.) I just mention it so that you are prepared to be on your own from here on.

Sounds like it would be much healthier for you anyway based on your current situation. I wish you luck. You only need one GREAT friend to make a difference in your life!

I'll likely be leaving in January! Just have to get a new ID card so I can travel. I'm very excited.

Hope this is the start of positive change for you. As you say, it seems like best of both worlds; some support with a caring person, and better chances to exit life should all else fail.

Because I have experienced similar things though, I want to add a part two which you can ignore if you don't want any parade-rain:

Knowing nothing about your friend or your relationship, this seems like there might be a strong savior component at play. Not always but often are such people deeply needing something in their own souls that they feel they can acquire by helping others, and sometimes they are not in fact adequately equipped to actually help others the way they need to be helped. She may not understand the amount or nature of support you will need, or think she does and that she can deliver but end up being wrong. She may burn out, things may sour. Hopefully she doesn't take it out on you, but she may also make self-sacrifices that could hurt you to see.

Just some possibilities to be prepared for. I guess in the end you may exit anyway, so no worse for wear in trying to live.
