Venting Is permanent nerve damage a valid reason for CTB?

[kvsvenky100]

I wouldn't CTB if it was a temporary problem, but this shitty doctor damaged my nerves permanently in a surgery back in April and I have no option but to CTB because I can't live like this for 50 years.

I don't think there is such thing as a valid or invalid reason, it's a personal decision and depends on each person however if you are asking if your reason is valid maybe you need to look deeper into why you are seeking validation for that- maybe part of you wants people to tell you it's not valid so you have a reason to change your mind

Sorry for your pain and suffering. I have no trust in Dr.'s or the medical system for this reason. They have permanently damaged me as well. CTB is a personal decision. Only you can decide to do it and why. Hope you find peace and happiness whatever you decide.

That sounds really horrible to me, I see it as so cruel how there's all this suffering in existing. But anyway I wish you the best.

Ultimately you are the person best placed to judge your situation (although bear in mind that depression, for instance, creates a bias towards negativity).

The key question is whether you have a settled desire to end your life.

Some people in your situation adapt to their situation. If you do, good for you. If not, it is your decision whether to end your life. You should make sure it is based on a rational assessment of the situation, including getting a prognosis from both a neurologist and a mental health professional, but it is your decision to make and you decide whether a reason is a good one.

I really think it's up to the individual to decide, after all it's your life & you should decide when you have had enough.
I'm sorry that illness has brought you to this difficult juncture & I hope that you can find a place of love & peace, whatever decisions you make

that's awful

technology and medical technology seems to be advancing exponentially, and there are some things they may be able to do in the future

but your situation is probably just terrible

i'm sorry you're here

it's unfortunate suicide isn't legal everywhere so people can't just go through a process talking with doctors and clinicians to have support with whatever they end up deciding. instead, it ends up being a lonely clandestine path (or you talk with clinicians and risk involuntary kidnapping/imprisonment/locked treatment and possible forced medication to sedate you into docility).

have you explored all treatment options for pain reduction and seen additional doctors since the bad surgery? can they do nerve blocking or brain surgery to remove the neurons feeling pain or add a medication pump inside you to administer small amounts of opiates or just is there anything?

i'm in pain too right now, but not the same amount or kind. i had an accident a while back, but it's not like your situation.

here is an article of nerve block injections:

Reasons are for the living.

You are the only one that can review your case. It is your decision to make.

Nerve pain is so painful I'm sorry you are going through that

 

[nihilistic_dragon]

We all have different pain tolerance (both physical and the other kind). So I think what's valid is a subjective question. If it's too much for you then yeah it's valid. It is up to you regardless of what anyone thinks - they're not the ones experiencing that pain, you are.

Sorry for your pain. It is a very painful condition to be in. You are the only one that can tell how much your suffering.
About 7 years ago I've had a very tough orthopedic situation that caused me and still is causing severe pain. When it started I thought my life was over. How ever I've endured and with time learned to live with it. I'm happy I survived it and had some good times since. However I've recently got more troubles added and now about to lose everything I gained in life. So I can ask you to please consider there is a possibility you will have some good times ahead of you.
What ever you decide I wish you to find peace in you.

 

[Trappednocure]

Permanent nerve damage is part of the reason for me but only part of my problems. Wouldnt have taken my life if it was the only issue unless the nerve damage was extremely bad.

 

[SVEN]

For me, any reason which is valid to the individual is valid to me also. Go well.

 

[TAW122]

Any reason (or lack thereof) to CTB is valid and CTB is a personal decision that only the individual can decide on. I hope you are able to find peace in whatever decision you make though.

 

[CogitoMori]

Anything that causes permanent suffering is a valid reason.
