Poll: physical health issues

[lululoo]

Please share to what degree if at all a physical health condition contributes to your desire to CTB. And feel free to elaborate in the comments.

I somewhat crippled myself & have spent the last 26yrs popping morphine like sweeties to try to make my life liveable after a i was technically bonkers & jumped off a too short a building. The End....

my body is my first prison they are several but this is the first one and one of the main reason i have to cbt
i cannot stand anymore to be like that

I'm unable to keep a clean bill of health since i was 14. It's not something that limits my existence to its fullest as medical error plays a role in that.

But still not limiting. Just annoying. And painful.

I am severely physically unwell and it has rendered me a virtual cabbage. My quality of life is horrific.
I would not wish to die if my health was restored.
Im surprised so many have additional health issues as per your survey

Yes there are a lot of us. I assume those with issues are more likely to take the survey than those without so the percentage breakdown isn't a good representation of the overall forum... but still.

I really believe that 'mental illness' and depression is for many a result of physiological illness that attacks the brain somehow. Inflammation / autoimmunity for example. You could never prove it with current practices and attitudes.
There seems to be so little knowledge out there regarding severe depression/ m.h disorders. They seem to know nothing at all

I don't currently have a physical health condition (that I know of) that impairs my day to day life. It's mostly just my Aspergers and social anxiety along with some depression here and there that hampers my day to day life. I would say that if I had serious physical health issues on top of my mental issues, then I would be much closer to wanting to CTB.

I guess I should have included an option for "Yes, and it doesn't contribute"... but I forgot minor physical issues even exist!

I was a little rude to someone the other day who was complaining loudly about her sciatica, for some reason (grumpy old age probably) i have become intolerant to people moaning about what to me seems like little stuff when i don't mention or bang on about how i found out over xmas that i had managed to break my back in another 2 places, cheers osteoporosis that i'm too bloody young for!
