[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If SHE isn't ok with her condition, it doesn't matter a single flying f*** what you or anyone else thinks. How dare you think you know better than her. "wasn't that bad". GFY op. [/quote]

DP. This is a disgusting take. One of my extended family members offed himself because of chronic pain and depression. He had four kids: two were already adults and two were still minors. By your logic, he had zero responsibility to his kids to try his damndest to get better.[/quote]

You know what?  YOURS is a disgusting take.  How do you know he didn’t try his damndest?!  How do you know he didn’t stay as long as he possibly could?  Have you ever felt pain and despair that was so crushing, so black, so relentless that even the love of your dependent children could not shine through it?  Have you ever felt unrelenting pain that no pill could touch?  If not, STFU.

My brother died by suicide and staying alive has basically been my full time job since then because I can’t hurt more people in my family.  But we are still logically in the Dark Ages when it comes to mental health treatments.  I would eat a ground up dried rat; hell, I might even eat a fresh one if it might out my depressions and brain fog into remission.  I have tried basically every antidepressant plus alternative treatments like psychedelics and ketamine, Botox and walking and the Keto diet and morning light boxes and gratitude journals and 100+ self help books and 50 kinds of planners for new habits AND I STILL HAVE SUICIDAL THOUGHTS nearly daily.  I have tried my damndest to get better.  I’m far from better.  Dying from a sometimes lethal disease doesn’t mean you didn’t fight to stay alive first.  [/quote]

Huge hugs!  ECT?  Cold showers?  Volunteering?  Puppies?  PRP neck injections that help the vagus nerve?  It sounds stupid, but Pilates?  Cranial sacral massage?  Dry needling?  Keep trying new therapists over and over until one clicked???  I’m sending so much love!!!  It sucks!  Keep trying!!  Go on medical leave or disability with No shame!  I hope you can find some relief here and there! [/quote]
