Purely mental issues like me? or also some physical condition/pain involved?

[dandan]

I wish to know

if there are people here, who are physically okay, healthy....
but their emotional issues, anxiety, social disorder, is keeping you from having a good life.

or do you have physical pain, or phsyical condition, (like moving legs) , which stop you from living a good life?

I wish to know, are there many people like me? "healthy" but kinda like screwed up? but, healthy, we can run, do excercise, try to work.... but damm.. life went bad for us...

but it could've been good if we didnt have this anxietys, disorders, etc... (purely mental and emotional issues)
like, im fine... I only hate things , like my dad parenting, and how bad I am to action, and do things

All 3 and I like you included money because there are physical problems which too me is the worst, mental problems and money problems too and to the people who think the money part is bullshit just think of it as a roof over your head, food, water and everything you need to survive.

 

[Empty Smile]

I do have a few physical areas of pain, the worst being in my left shoulder due to multiple issues of pinched nerve. Since then, I've had issue with pain in the shoulder and sometimes it's pretty unbearable.

But other than pains from old age, physically I'm ok.

99% of my issues are mental/emotions issues.

 

[Mircea]

Physically I'm in an okay condition and have no serious medical issues. This is due to constant and severe depression and stress, and the fact that this world has very much decided that someone like me does not belong here.

 

[Jen Erik]

Money issues, especially future economic destitution, is primary. I haven't been able to work for almost 15 years now and so far I've made it okay, but cost of living far outpaces my fixed income and meager financial resources such that I will be living in poverty soon – it gets worse every year for me.

 

[Anchors]

Physically, I have constant ringing in my ears which takes a significant toll on my mental health. It's stopped me enjoying my hobbies and made me more isolated. It's my main reason for wanting to CTB.

 

[SomebodyBroken]

agree with @TheGoodGuy, not only are there physical problems, some mental ones, so is the problem with money.
therefore, it is a bit problematic to understand people who have only one thing and complain about life. if you have money, can you be cured?) (except really options where treatment is unrealistic (or turns into a vegetable), ctb is really the way out)

 

[Fadingfast]

Bipolar 1 and schizophrenia.
In menopause due to illness requiring radical hysteretomy.
In debt from surgeries.
Unable to maintain a steady income.
Parents just tell me other people with illnesses are successful and I'll get over it.

 

[Mogley26]

All three plus much more.

 

[SweetSide]

Emotional issues and social anxiety disorder are keeping me from having a good life. But it's not sufficient to ctb.
For me the trigger to ctb will be losing income.
Because you can't be master of your life when you lack money, you become slave of circumstances.

 

[JadedGray]

A combination of all three, along with other issues.

 

[Halo13]

All three plus multiple failures to ctb.

I'm so sorry you've heard this too.
My mental issues cause me to be in perpetual fight or flight mode. It makes me ache. I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and it is getting worse because I'm exhausted and tense. There are also potential issues I'm ignoring right now. Aging is no joke.

 

[lululoo]

All three. Well, technically I don't have money issues yet. But I am quitting my job so I will soon. I don't have a way to make money long term because of how I feel physically and mentally.

 

[KN95]

Extremely bad social anxiety disorder (I can barely leave my house) and depression. Money problems too.

 

[dolphin]

cognitive damage

Can you get disability?

 

[lululoo]

Can you get disability?

I'd have very little chance of being approved for that.

 

[Allpainnogain]

I'd have very little chance of being approved for that.

Really? Mental and physical issues should qualify you

 

[Taylor]

I've got the full spectrum goin on...which has cornered me right in and left me with no where else to turn.

 

[LastFlowers]

Not sure which to choose, my face is messed up, unattractive, who I am can not identify with it and I am trapped. Surrounded by beautiful family members to top the sundae.
..I wouldn't call that a physical condition that causes physical pain.
Though one of my issues with my face causes burning and heat like I laid in a fire pit. And a few more do cause extreme physical discomfort. I think some of it is secondary from stress of the situation and abysmal sleep.
I would still call it a physical predicament that causes emotional pain. I've been in the kind of physical pain that requires morphine until you don't make sense anymore and I can say that that was nothing compared to my reason to CTB. But that's just me. The things that can push my "off the edge" buttons may differ from others.
Also I don't have money and can't hold a job like this..the crippling anxiety.
So that doesn't help. I hate being dependent on people when I already feel so constricted by my own body and face.
I dream of ripping it all off.
I feel like I have no control left. Except to end things. Even that, I feel I may not have complete control over since things can go wrong in any scenario.

If I didn't have my main problem, I'm sure I'd still have some mental "issues" or major differences from most of society. But not to the point of actually feeling the need to CTB.

I think it sucks for anyone who has one thing or the other and if only that reason would be obliterated, they could live.

 

[Maksimka Ai]

My back is injured, I feel constant pain, and I have to take each pill. There are also psychological problems and treatment in a psychiatric hospital. I find it harder and harder to communicate with people. Every night I dream not to wake up in the morning.

 

[lynn14]

I have mental issues that I feel are currently mostly hormonal in nature, and I hope that they subside once the hormones have run their course. I am a postpartum woman. But this is also giving me a glimpse of what I most likely have to look forward to in menopause, and the prospects for me continuing to live in a hormonally depressive state for extended periods of time are not good. For now I am riding it out. But I also have had significant hair loss and fertility issues which have taken an emotional toll. I'm also divorced and remarried into a less than ideal circumstance. These things aren't life or death, but at the same time they have reduced my desire to live, since I feel that it's impossible to do it over again. It's all over except for the "down" part of life's rollercoaster and, I don't know if I will have the inner resources to cope with life in another 15 or 20 years. So the thought of CTB is the only thing that really brings me comfort.

I honestly believe the physical illnesses are behind the mental health problems for so many people. Fibro diagnosis just means the moron doctors don't have a clue what's wrong with you. People explain it often like burning pain. They called one of my problems fibro until after searching and seeking out testing it was apparent I have an horrific head to toe smell fibre neuropathy. It can affect the nerves in your head and completely affect your thinking / well being. I know now mine is a ganglionopathy as it's head to toe. This def affects your state of mind physiologically and not just a reactionary state of mind.

Autonomic nerve problems affect the fight or flight response. I have autonomic damage severely. It puts you in a constant state of anxiety that is primarily physiological.

 

[Kta1994]

Thank you for the input! I'm medically gaslighted a lot. This will help my future visits with the doctors.

Yes most us women are gaslighted if it isn't one of the more obvious illnesses. Look up something called POTs. It gives horrific anxiety symptoms for many. Doctors are ignorant to it for the most part. I was told I was just anxious or just depressed for 5 years when I actually had/have 5 illnesses, 4 autoimmune. They are bast**** most doctors I've encountered. I was and am an anxiety sufferer but alot for me is physiological.
In one study I read about, over 50% of participants ( about 100 I think) who were told they had fibro actually had evidence of small fibre neuropathy- damage or destruction of small nerve fibres. So that was a symptom of something else. Fibro is a lazy waste basket diagnosis when the real reason alludes them.
Will get off my soapbox now :-)

I appreciate this. I hate having the fibro diagnosis. Doctors just put you in a box and consider all your problems to be psychosomatic in origin. You have to come up with all the tests to rule out other things. They just push various psych meds on you.

That's true. When I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, they just put me on Cymbalta. The only other option was Lyrica which isn't a SNRI/SSRI, but it has a lot of side effects. The Cymbalta of course didn't work, so it proved that it wasn't psychosomatic.

 

[Letmego. Please]

All 3 but like the Op when i could run & jump about to my hearts content i was still depressed & suicidal, i screwed myself over back then by ending up a crip stopping me from carrying on with my need to die. It's bloody hard as a 21yr old to abruptly end up unable to do anything bar trying to pull yourself out of bed onto the floor before you are scolded again & put back into the bloody bed, then a few months down the line you get a wheelchair/tank that you struggle to wheel & a fu**ing rehab physio trying to get you a few feet on a bloody zimmer frame.

But 26yrs later as long as i don't have to pay for some manufactured 'opioid' crisis by loosing my access to pain meds then that alone is not a reason as I've adapted & got on with how life now is.

Money is a tricky one as i have to rely on the state to feel like helping me pay my bills & that is something that can never be guaranteed now that my wonderful government's have decided that i am one of the lowest of the low & a useless worthless scrounger. So yes it is a big worry but by itself unless they removed my ability to pay the bills then it is not yet a reason.

So i guess it all comes back full circle to the depression that has followed me like a rabid stalker all my conscious life, it is that that will kill me.
