This might sound dark and morbid but I honestly believe that all adults over 21 should have the right to euthanasia as their own freedom of choice. If you're in physical pain or just totally fed up with living the life you've got and struggling every day I think being put to sleep painlessly under medical supervision would be the best way to die IMO.
People are literally forced to stay alive these days and cope with miserable lives and I think it's inhumane to say the least. I always had the mindset that I wanted to live a fast and fulfilling life and die before I reached old age but I'm early 50s now and have never had any physical health issue or needed to see a doc in 30 years.
Fuck knows how I've survived this long though. I smoked 20 a day from age 13-19 and then hammered reccy party drugs from 21-24. I then started using steroids and I've drifted in and out of having issues with alcohol for 20 years too so I don't think I'll survive too much longer tbh. If I could be put to sleep painlessly and never wake up again I'd take that option right now before I get any older and health issues start kicking in.
Sorry if that depresses some of you lol
mate i just have to agree with you on all counts youve mentioned
i too am in my early fifties and have had a hell of a time since my late 30's
i find that when terrible things happen to you personally it definitely changes your whole perspective on mortality and lifestyle choices
for example i am often descriped as cold and ruthless in certain aspects but this is only because i have faced my mortality head on and accepted death as inevitable and when i'm very bad a welcome relief
please don't mistake this view as bravado or flash talking to impress.....these are all rational thoughts and views taken purely from experience and this conversation could not be taken with anyone who hasn't had trauma or extreme medical issues physically or mentally
i cannot even breach any subject of mortality with close friends or family because they gladly havn't had to face what i have so how can they possible understand or relate...so i dont bother
i find sometimes it is a welcome relief to basically be free enough to not give a fuck about risk taking or being in the position to speak my mind within reason about difficult subjects cos i am fully aware that ive pushed my luck too far for too long and in the big scheme of things i'm fucked so lets just crack on
by the way group therapy folks to deffo the way to centre yourself if your in a bad place....don;t knock it...done me proud ...and last but not least...TALKING is so important....to anyone,everyone or even yourself.....if your in a bad place just reach out...this place is a good srart..i think youll be suprised how many members on here have gone through terrible trauma and are still kicking and screaming...your never alone on here folks
