Suicide due to mental illness

[iceiceice722]

I just got diagnosed with the bipolars and I feel very strongly about suicide as I wasn't given a choice when I was born , why should I be forced to live with a mental illness .

In my collage the topic of assisted suicide is banned , you can't even have a discussion . I feel like the rich and powerful do not want the poor people who at the bottom from commiting suicide as they would have to work themselves.

My biggest fear is the cult like mentality that would lock you up and pump charcoal in your stomach to force you to live because it makes them feel better .

As someone recently diagnosed with bipolar I can sort of relate to your pain. It's not a battle we will see the end of until we pass.. It's not something than will ever be fully taken away with therapy and mediation, and to be honest that just fucking sucks. Pardon my language, but I agree with you. I didn't consent to being born, especially with a life long mental illness that inhibits my ability to fully check into reality. Well you're always free to discuss freely on here if you can't in your real life environment :)

There is nothing more scary than a phycosis , I had my first one at my gym . The cops were called and I got arrested because I was unable to identify myself. Luckily the judge dropped the case .

I saw someone ctb and it was so peaceful , everyone here was so supportive and stayed . I wish real life was like this , I wish I could ctb with someone holding my hand and die in a humane and peaceful way .

I had a very odd experience a few weeks ago that ended up with me being hospitalized. I'm glad the judge dropped the case for you, as I can only see that making you feel worse. And it's crazy you say that about holding someones hand because that's literally what I put in my suicide note. Unfortunately like you said real life isn't like that for people like us. Being surrounded by people you care about and made to feel comfortable and at peace when passing would be such a blessing. If only I had some terminal disease and could go out with dignity by the law... Maybe one day, but I don't see myself being there if/when it happens.

I have BPD and the suicide attempt rate is something crazy like 50%, and I totally get why now. Mental illness is insufferable.
Definitely agree with you on the point that doctors keep you alive to make themselves feel good. Although I think making money off my diseased ass is a plus for them too.

Damn didn't know the suicide rate for us was that high . I really wish suicide wasn't such a taboo . A lot of the cultures glorified and some even normalized it .

I feel the government doesn't want you to commit suicide as they need the free slave labor

I have either bipolar or schizoaffective disorder. Not sure which is most recent. They're similar anyway. It has ruined my life. I think it is so heartless that we are expected to endure the nightmare that is mental illness. One day voluntary assisted dying will be widely available for people with all kinds of condition.

During my high school years I had horrible social anxiety. It was so horrible I could barely speak, and one of my teachers thought I was deaf.
I also had depression back then but anxiety was much worse.
Nowadays social anxiety is under control and it lessened so I can at least approach people, but depression is at it's worst.
Both ruined the best years of my life.
I can't stand the thought of enduring this sad, bland, boring life for another 50-60 years. My "crossroad choices" happened when I was 12, and I feel like my life had already ended ever since.
I didn't want it to be like this, but the damage is done and there's nothing I can do about it.
