What keeps being forgotten here is that I'm not going to kill myself at any time in the foreseeable future because of my sister.
My question was a general one.
I appreciate the well wishes and positive comments but at the same time it is becoming a little overbearing with all the good intentioned advice and me having to explain everything.
I'm feeling like a need a break.
I know that I started this conversation but it wasn't specifically about me.
It was a general question
To answer your (general) question about suicide.
My view would be that it hurts the friends & family, it causes a lot of guilt with people asking what could have been done & what they missed etc.
But more than that, I think we only get one life. We're a long time dead and it will come soon enough so seize the day while you have it, even in small ways.
Is suicide always wrong? I guess my views are turning around a little bit. Once I would have said yes. But now I think there can be medical conditions so debilitating that we should give people the choice to die with dignity if they decide they don't want to go on any longer.
On a different tangent, I see you eat oats. So do I. A naturapath advised me to sprinkle cinnamon onto them (and some other foods where possible) as it is very good for blood pressure and things like that. So she said. What I find is I don't need sugar if i use cinnamon, it seems to add a bit of taste and just enough sweetness. Might be worth a try if ever you're a bit bored with just the oats.
