Why do people consider Suicide wrong? Or otherwise treat it like a sickness and bad thing. I don’t think it always is.

This isn’t a disease although most things that end in death are considered a disease or injury.
This is me standing up for what I truly want and believe , who I am.
I don’t want to play this game. Games are elective and I do not consent.
I wish I was never born, or Someone or thing should have stopped me before I reproduced. I so want to check out but can’t without my kids blessing. I truly wish they would all just say “it’s ok. You can go we’ll be fine.”

I want permission to be suicidal or better yet permission to be dead. Thanks

Maybe I’ll say I’m going on a trip…

I'm ok with the idea of euthanasia for incurable conditions that can save prolonged suffering and reduce the expense of lengthy care. But I don't like the idea of suicide as a way of escaping a mental health situation that can otherwise be cured.

Everything is relative. We have created such a luxurious and relatively easy existence for most people which has weakened the disposition and mental being of too many people. Many are unwilling to accept any adversity or hard work in their lives nowadays, or use social media to unfairly compare their lives to others.

They say in a society, weak people create tough times. We seem to be in this stage of societal evolution. Tough times will eventually create strong people...

@easterniowegin
Mental health situation that can be cured? What if it can’t be cured? You know many of them are incurable.
And I think I said that not wanting to live shouldn’t be considered a mental illness.

Weak and strong people? Based on what criteria? Why do you think wanting to live is a strength?

I do agree with what you say about these easy times have changed people. But I would not judge them for it and say it’s weak. I think the human animal has reached its limit and is going to self destruct. I do not know about the human soul.

@easterniowegin Mental illness can be cured how??? By sticking the mentally ill on pills for the rest of their lives???

If I'm deaf and I choose to wear hearing aids, I'm still deemed to be deaf regardless of if I am wearing hearing aids or not.

If I am mentally ill, I'm still deemed to be mentally ill regardless of if I'm taking medication or not.
