first since this is a prolife site we wouldn't reccomend euthanasia. but i think there is a better way than euthanasia or coma because there is no way to get better. i prefer to survive the best i can and try to find ways to make life at least a little better. of course it doesn't always work but preferable to those other 2 ways. i hope you feel better soon

Oh, sorry about that. I meant it tongue in cheek, as if to say, well I don’t want to be sectioned, so what would be the next thing down from that?

I haven’t looked into this, but “a friend” has explained to me that legal euthanasia has certain criteria for eligibility, and depression is not one of them. In most cases, if not all, you have to have a fatal physical diagnosis with a prognosis of less than 6 months to live. My friend can’t remember if this is true or interpolated, but he mentioned that one may also need to be in hospice. This is all just to say that anyone else who reads this should understand it is exaggerated to make it funny.

you have nothing to be sorry for @LumberJack . i only mentioned it to make sure you remembered. you did or said nothing wrong. it is ok to mention euthanasia like a passing thought or something like that. it's only against the rules if you promote it as an alternative. i got the joke so no problem.

some people, actually a lot of people wish there would be a legal and easy way to die, i know occasionally i still do. but being pro-life we try to encourage alternatives to live. as far as being sectioned it sometimes becomes neccesary. it depends on where a person gets sectioned it can be a good comfortable place to rest and kind of reset, unfortunately some places are snakepits and it's a fate worse than death. you have been through a lot and considering everything i think you are strong and actually winning the fight

Much better than the last few days. I got dressed for the cold and dragged myself out the door for a run. It's literally medicine for me. Sending love to everyone who needs it.
I have come to the conclusion that running is medicine for me too. Not just mentally - I think with all the stress and chemical imbalances, insomnia, financial issues, work issues, colleague suicides, etc of the last 5 years, I honestly do not think I'd be holding up if it wasn't for the running. My blood pressure and resting heart rate have been largely stable throughout and are not just OK - they're optimal! I think the running helps balance everything out, flushes the stress hormones out, gives my body something to do with the stress - without that I'd likely have had a complete breakdown or some terrible inflammatory condition or even hospitalization by now, as the stress would have eaten and beaten me from within. Long may we keep 🏃🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍➡️🏃‍♀️‍➡️🏃‍♂️‍➡️ ❤️❤️❤️

I am finally relaxed. Been to my running group, signed off all my work for the week, and looking forward to my weekend. There is absolutely nothing I can do about my house problems right now, I tried one avenue and got ignored, I will try again on Monday. That's all I can do. I have more than enough work booked in next week, so I plan to enjoy my Saturday and Sunday as next week will be very busy on all fronts. But for now, it's my time, so sod all the problems and have a rest.

I am not feeling well, this isolation is killing me. I am tired that people does not get the message I treat people nicely because is the way I want to be treated, but in return I am not getting results there is nothing to much to ask, only to see how I am doing to invite me to some events, without that I feel that nobody cares about me, I am not playing victim what I am tired is that people does not accept me for who I am only for what I have and since I do not have a job and money that is what I do not have friends.

When I get down, I start ruminating, I start thinking about everything that’s been wrong with my life. It’s overwhelming, it’s breathtaking, there’s just been too much shit for someone to slog through.

I try very hard not to feel this way, I try to distract myself, but that doesn’t always work.

When Jessica was alive, all the shit was still there but it was muted (somewhat, I guess, or at least that is the best word for it). There was a feeling like at least it all lead somewhere, it sucked beyond words but I was done with it and it was time for good things to finally start happening.

Now I know better. It’s never over, and any respite you find will be too brief and end with you worse off than you started.
