Hi, Alchemy.

I thank you for your words that it is humane to auto euthanize and it is my choice to to decide to live another day. Feeling "stuck" in this universe is a theme with me. I am the opposite of impulse. I think of all ramifications and have the classic guilt aspect of depression. And even if I was alone in this world, I still probably wouldn't have the guts (which also makes me feel stuck).

For me, "trapped" is the word that comes to mind when I am faced with two choices:

1. Living one more moment in a state of endless pain and struggle.

2. Irrevocably exiting existence and terminating forever my consciousness in order to stop the pain and struggle.

I don't have it in me to choose either one.

I absolutely believe that one has a God-given right to what I call "autoeuthenasia".

HOWEVER, in a state of depression, reality for the sufferer is distorted. Can the sufferer truly be of sound mind when he makes the choice to die when his brain is operating abnormally?

Alchemy, I urge you to take this into consideration before you make a decision.

I also urge you to always give yourself one more day to reach a decision. What's the rush?

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
