That would be a pity if you did do it. Won't your parents leave you anything in their wills? Have you exhausted every possibility in conventional and alternative medicine? Wouldn't your parents want you to carry on looking for a cure or at least some respite? You see when you kill yourself you not only kill who you are but you also kill all those little bits of other people who have contributed over the years to making you what you are. You owe it to these people to survive and prosper, not just materially but also spiritually. If you kill yourself when your parents pass away your spirit will not be ready. If there is an after life you may not enjoy it to the full. Stick around Link, don't throw the towel in too early. Stay till the final bell. Remember this, I can't remember who originally wrote it but it goes like this:
Ask not for whom the bell tolls
It tolls for me and you.
IOW your death will diminish people you have never met, people like me who have only met you via this message board, people who have written books and articles that you may have read, people in the medical profession who have tried to help you. You have the right to make a decision for yourself to go ahead and kill yourself but do you have the right to kill off all the good that other people have poured into what is you?
Remember also this:
No man is an island....
Try reading something uplifting. Your despair will pass. Go out for a long walk. You are not good company for yourself right now.
