transorbital lobotomy?

[nymphojuno]

i'm so desperate to stop feeling depressed that i've actually considered getting a lobotomy. surely there's some quack doctor that'll perform them still? it would be the perfect solution. i could still be present for my family and friends, despite not really being present at all. it could get totally botched and leave me in a vegetative state but... is that really worse than the way i'm existing now? i would be completely docile and i wouldn't even remember why i want to commit suicide. am i just psychotic for considering this?

You wouldn't be you anymore. I would rather cbt. I am also severely depressed.

If you're able to be taken care of as if you were disabled for the rest of your life then I wouldn't see the problem. Most people are struggling just to survive. If that seems like a good option for you then I have to assume you or your family has some financial stability because most folks would not gamble and want to just end it fast with little error.

that's true. i don't think i would want to burden them that way. maybe it would be best to just end it outright.

I've also thought about the possibility of a lobotomy, but I honestly think it would be better to be dead than to live with the consequences of this procedure. Sometimes we are so desperate with our suffering that we just want a way to stop it, however, we must be as rational as possible at that moment. I hope you find something that makes you happy and lessens your pain.

Death is more worth it than living lobotomized
