> Deneb,
> from your posts, I would surmise that you are indifferent not to death, but perhaps to other people's trigger level about suicide and death?I think sometimes I forget how easily triggered some people are. In my world, these topics are not taboo and thought of all the time. I think about them so much that it's difficult for me to think that other people do not think about these things so much. It is difficult for me to understand why things that do not bother me bother others so much.
> That being said, I still believe the only person responsible for a suicide is the one DOING it -- no one else is to blame.I know that. I don't understand why you keep thinking that I'm out to blame others. I just don't understand why it upsets people so very much...like you said, it is entirely the individuals' fault. Other people shouldn't care so much. It is a GOOD thing in my mind that my p-doc doesn't care if I live or die. She told me herself that it is my decision to make and I'm glad she will never lock me for it. I don't blame her for anything, I LIKE that she gives ME the choice. I wouldn't want anyone here to stop me from killing myself...it is MY decision to make. I wouldn't blame anyone for not doing anything to stop me.
> Yes, I think it IS wrong to think that all p-docs should have a suicidal patient carry it out. I think saying that is pretty offensive to doctors and also to the suicidal patients! How would that help a doctor, in your opinion, to treat other patients?
It would help them realize that they cannot 'save' everyone and that it really is terminal for some people. Maybe one day they will even help some people kill themselves. It will also help them to not care so much about suicide.
> I hope you're well and that this mood passes quickly, and that you're back to being *you* again soon!
What if this *is* me?
