In reply to Anyone's PDoc Ever Say It's Your Choice To End Lif, posted by phillipa on October 2, 2012, at 12:07:00
> Something been thinking about for a few years. My old pdoc once said something interesting to me in a general conversation. I think husband was there too as this was the one took hours to drive to. She mentioned that if one wanted to they could take there life. No mention of suicide. But she said it's your life and no one has the right to stop you. So how come they hospitalize suicidal People. Isn't this the same thing? Phillipa
They hospitalized me because when my plan was complete and there was nothing /no one around to get in the way , I called my pdoc (as a courtesy, I think I told myself) and told him what I was fixing to do. And he asked me politely if I would go to the hospital instead. So I chose to go. I didn't want to be dead forever. I just wanted to be dead until the pain went away. Somehow it hit me that I wouldn't be waking up in my coffin in a while all better to start over fresh.
I stayed a couple weeks only then did ECT outpatient. That got me better enough to come home-maybe 20 % better.
