I've tried many treatments, but none seem to work. Medication stops my delusions but does nothing for the flat emotions. I fear that ahead of me is nothing but years of dreary boredom. I would like to be able to take advantage of a painless and reliable death, but the law is against me. Why is my suffering less deserving of a quick end than that of a terminal patient? I have tried ending my life on my own three times, and ended up handicapped, missing nine fingers, as a result. I don't want to end up brain damaged from another attempt. Why shouldn't I be allowed a quick and safe exit?Shit, I don't know the answer to your question. Clearly I don't understand where you're at.
You certainly have a point.
I really wish I could help you somehow, give you some sought of hope.
But you're a lot more intelligent than me and I'm sure you've already thought of anything I could say or do.
It probably doesn't help or mean much to say that I care, but I do.
