Help Is Dignitas ctb an option for the long term depressed?

[wannafly]

As someone who has had depression for most of their life, would Dignitas be an option? It has been recorded by the NHS since a young age and I could probably write a book of reasons as to why I think I should die. I actively seek support and take therapies etc and tens of meds but it doesn't really help. And, if not, would any amount of money be enough to convince them to give me a painless way to ctb? If so, how much?

Ideally I'd want to spend 15k max. But if I have to pay a bit extra to get it done "privately" or whatever that's fine too. I'll need a guide or something for how to actually begin the Dignitas process and if I can directly speak with a doctor that would be great. Not sure if it's mentioned in the PPH but I'll give it a quick skim again after writing this.

Unfortunately, I don't think I've got access to any edition other than like the 2022 update, so if I can have that sent over too that would be really helpful. I would be willing to donate a certain % of my assets to help support the ongoing efforts put into writing the PPHs and probably SS too. Are the updates significant?

I suppose with the same amount of money I could do the mix of the 5 diff. meds etc but it honestly sounds like you have to drink a litre or two and that would be difficult considering the probable taste.

I'm assuming that my diagnoses only matter if I'm evidently not in a logical mindset. Sadly, I am in a logical state of mind. Life is hell and I think mostly about suicide uncontrollably and it's long overdue.

It might only be available to those who have physical illnesses - but I'm desperate. Every day I feel a bit worse.

Sorry, but the organizations like Dignitas always requires that the person needs to be in a terminal state or unbearable pain or an extremely disability.
They require this because a doctor prescribe the N for the person to drink and the Swiss law requires this.

Thats the reason Exit International releases the pph every year, to allow people from other countries to know peaceful ways to go that doesnt require a travel to Swiss or that they dont meet the criteria described above (e.g. old people that decide to die together or people that decided it was time to ctb even if they didnt have any disease)

God it's never easy lol. So what are nitazenes my best option if I have access to those and presumably anti sickness pills could work with that yeah

There have been people in Switzerland and The Netherlands who have been approved for assisted dying due to persistent mental illness/disorders, but they have been nationals of those countries which allows them more leeway than using organisations like Dignitas who have very strict requirements. There was a British man last year who had no diagnosed illness but was approved by Pegasos in Switzerland and ended his life there, not sure if they're still running due to the uproar afterwards but they had a pretty solid stance of "everyone has the right to end their own life when they want to".

No those organizations only accept people who are terminal or have an extreme physical condition, there are countries who do it for people with severely mental problems i believe belgium and the netherlands but only for their citizens

worth looking into Pegasos then potentially?

Also — what happened to those peaceful suicide capsules or whatever? What ever happened to those?
