So, your signed DNR would be acceptable?

Hey, your questions are a bit concerning. I hope you're ok, and if you're not, please reach out to someone you can talk to.

Thank you, friend. I promise you, I'm not about to do anything!

I was just genuinely curious about it. I never thought about the fear of not being successful at my own unaliving. So, I was just wondering. Again, as awful as what I just said was... I'm not going to act on my sometimes constant, sometimes fleeting thoughts.

My fear is leaving my children in that way. I hold on to that saying that if we do this, we don't relieve ourselves of our pain. We simply pass it on to those we left behind.

Thank you again for your comment. 🙏❤️

Suicide is the end result of a disease process in your brain. You are not immune to dying by suicide in the same way that you are not immune to dying randomly as a result of any other common health issue that leads to death, for example by a heart attack or a stroke. I've been mentally ill my entire too-long life, and the information gathering you're doing here is part of that disease process, and it's one that you can stop. Don't seek this shit out. Go to the doctor and get your meds adjusted-for the sake of your kids.

I've never heard this before. It is actually scary to read it.

I truly didn't feel that I was seeking it out other than my morbid curiosity asking questions. But I understand what you're saying. Thank you.
