Hi. I wanted to share an article for discussion. The Independent has a piece that came out today called "Sex abuse victim in her 20s allowed by doctors to choose euthanasia due to 'incurable' PTSD"
At my worst, I remember feeling an almost "logical" desire to commit suicide. It became an ingrained part of my thought process, that I was holding out for the right day to die.
Now I see that thinking as one of the tricks that PTSD plays on you, that you start to think suffering is the only path and death doesn't seem so bad.
So it shocks me to think that a doctor would support death as the last line of defense. I guess I'd like to think that life can get better eventually for all of us.
