You can have a quick death without going to hospice. I once died or came extremely close from a massive infection and septic shock. Whatever the time period, I was unaware. I don't think anyone wants to sit around waiting to die for a long period of time and no one should be living their life for someone else every single day. I don't think you need to be in a dark cave to make it quick and it doesn't need to be violent. You can fall into a sleep and not wake up.
Is there hope for you to improve and live without all of the pain and struggling? you know, some states allow terminally ill to have doctor assisted suicide - do you think you fall into the group for which it would be approved?
How about getting out and working with people or animals? I often feel like my pets at the only thing that keep me going. It sounds like you're depressed. You would benefit from seeing a therapist or psychiatrist. Please get some help. Yes, I have felt the way you do. when I got up from shock and respiratory failure, i was not sure whether i was happy about it or not. Sometimes i still wish it went the other way. Luckily i have pets that i am bonded with and being with them makes me feel like it's good that I am here. It sounds like you have a loving family and that is something many of us don't have. Not to say you should be miserable to appease them but a loving family is something worth living for... i don't think i've ever posted on this board before but your title grabbed my attention. that's how down I can be that violent death intrigues me. You're not alone. It's human nature to think about these things.
The thing is, I want it to be violent.
If I pushed for it, I think I could get doctor-assisted suicide, but I don't want doctors having anything to do with me or my death.
You still have the most interesting response so far. You said you have felt similarly, and that there are still times you wish you had died. That's what I was wondering, if anyone did have feelings like that too.
I do have a loving family, and that is why I keep trying to survive through the hard time - for them. But I also know that I can't do it indefinitely. I too have a pet that I am hyper-bonded with, a very sweet black kittycat. He even stays with me when I sleep. I also do volunteer at a nature center, which I enjoy, and I'm trying to look into a small role in paleontology, one of my passions.
Still, the desire for a violent death often resurfaces and east away at me, and I can't seem to start thinking about
it without craving it. I have no current plans to actually kill myself, but I do want to talk about
it.
I think it is human nature to think about
these things. Do you think it's also human nature to want death sometimes?
