So, as I mentioned here before, my life has gone down the drain . I'm physically and mentally sick . This has lead me to conversations with people who are suffering like me.
Recently talked with a guy who is slowly going blind (Keratoconus) looking for a painless way to go out. He had apparently tried to approach VAD (voluntary assissted suicide) clinics in Switzerland but realised he was not eligible (young and no life threatening illness). Like this one.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dignitas_(non-profit_organisation)
Dignitas is a Swiss non-profit organization providing physician-assisted suicide to members with terminal illness or severe physical or mental illness, supported by independent Swiss doctors. By the end of 2020, they had assisted 3,248 people with suicide at home within Switzerland and at Dignitas' house/flat near Zürich.[1] They provide advisory work on palliative care, health care advance directives, suicide attempt prevention, and legislation for right-to-die laws around the world.
Interesting stuff .
So now, he's looking into south american countries like mexico and colombia because one can get pentobarbital (drug used in assisted suicides) at pet shops there.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_tourism
A drug known as liquid pentobarbital, which is used by owners to euthanize pets, can give a person a painless death in under one hour. Due to the drug's availability at pet shops, tourists seeking to end their lives were reported to be flying from around the world to Mexico.
He says he has some money saved up and will travel in 2 months or so . Honestly, I didn't even a say lot to encourage him to live which says a lot about how far I've sunk psychologically. I sympathised with him and mustered up some words about how I hoped he can get some treatment that fix his issue but that's about it .
I also joined a telegram group comprised mostly of socialist guys from slavic countries and a few from the middle east and latin american countries . Nothing particularly interesting there. Just thought I share .
So, how have you guys been?

YOU'RE BEING HAUNTED BY THE BLINDING MAN.
I WANT TO TELL YOU, OUT OF KINDNESS
without capitalizing to make myself appear more awe-inspiring
in life there are many reasons to stay in the physical world.
there is love,hedonism,hate,masochism,faith,hope,apathy
all of these are good,and just losing one does not mean you lose another.
god/allah/hashem,whatever you want to call Him, made us this way. people believe in christ because his sacrifice stated 'humans deserve to exist'
but above all this there is a more fundamental principle.
THEY want your misery. your misery assists them like the prostitute that once was god's own daughter.
