    Plenty of us would kill ourselves if we were in similar circumstances. For some people, life is only worthwhile if they have a good life.

      1. You won’t really know until you reach those circumstances. If you had told me before I was disabled that I would be in severe pain bedridden, unable to speak and tubefed, I would have said I’d prefer to die (but part of that is thinking this would never happen to me). Now I prefer to live my limited life, and I would never give it away.

      2. I’m not denying some people would, I’m just saying its not something you should tell people with the illness.

      3. and killing yourself is a lot harder than it seems when you’re disabled, unless you have a firearm
