    Appreciate the kind words. I have had various approaches to try and “treat” this over the course of the last 15+ years, including the ones you named, like I mentioned, not exactly a new phenomena on my end.

    If there was a suicide booth or a euthanasia clinic for people who just want to peace out, I’d have visited it 15+ years ago or any day since then, including today.

    Also while I understand the notion that access to substances and firearms and whatnot might increase the risks of impulsive momentary courage (or stupidity), an average home and convenience store offer many items which can effectively facilitate the deed, don’t need to be super elaborate with hugging a grenade or slobbering on the barrel of a shotgun for an effective method… granted if the plan is to go out with a bang, who am I to stop it.

    Sucks about the tumor though. May you easily outlive the expectations if you so desire

      I’m so sorry, that sounds awful and so so exhausting. One last thing then I will stop promise, it’s a bit annoying when someone keeps trying to fix you. At least I didn’t recommend positive thinking. Like yes Cynthia I’m sure that will cure the cancer, why didn’t I just think of that!

      ECT has shown some really fantastic results in treating TRD. I’d recommend reading Shock: The Healing Power of Electroconvulsive Therapy by Kitty Dukakis. If nothing else it is a good read. And thank you. I wish you peace
