I felt the need to be direct as I survived. I have an inoperable medical condition and for many months suicide was desirable as euthanasia is not available in my country. Like him, I did a lot of research first. Unlike him, I did not make mysterious threats. I got a shrink. When I am at a late age, I may decide it best, perhaps even culture will, but right now, I treasure being alive. I have found a deeper peace with mindfulness and continue to live with the condition. Sometimes you have to face your options and your state of being, and that is often unavailable at those times. So I called out. I hope this person can find compassion and courage that they may not be aware of having. If this is a case of an ego with a personality disorder binging on suffering, I would still say to anyone, find compassion and courage and you will be surprised at what remains even when a way of living is no longer possible. That is all that's in my heart. You are very kind for your offering of openness, but don’t forget to take care of yourself too.
