Subject: I don’t know if you will read this or not but I just have a question\u2026<\/p>\n
Hello.. i’m hoping you speak english.. i came across your articles today because i am feeling utterly hopeless and think your view on assisted suicide for the mentally ill is phenomenal. I know a lot of people are against it and even think the thought of it is ridiculous.<\/p>\n
If a person with severe depression is wanting to die and has tried literally everything (medication, therapy, holistic approaches, etc.) they should be able to have control of their own life. If I am just going to continue to try to kill myself why shouldn\u2019t i be able to have help. If there is no help for the victim and all opportunities have been explored then why should i have to continue to suffer in agony.<\/p>\n
Do i want to live in a hospital for the rest of my life? no… Do i want to be sedated and on like 5 different medications for the rest of my life? no. Tell me, how is that living.. nobody wants to live like that in constant pain and agony. I apologize for the horrid grammar but i just do not have the will to even use punctuation. I\u2019ve been suffering for 10 years… do i deserve to suffer for the rest of my life?<\/p>\n
You shed light on mental illness and i applaud you. That is all.<\/p>\n
If you read my email I thank you greatly,<\/p>\n
