I think it is a lot more complicated than that.
I have an incurable medical condition. I am frequently incredibly miserable. I am frequently suicidal, in part because it is literally the only means to really escape the misery my body inflicts upon me.
I am pro right to die. There are circumstances under which it is cruel to act like wanting to end this situation the only way it can be ended is somehow crazy.
I am still here. I am doing all I can to pursue non-drug alternatives, for which the entire world gives me shit. That also fuels my suicidal ideation because it is such a no win, fuck you situation on so many levels.
But I wish people would not simplify this for some feel good PSA and act like wanting to die is simply evidence you are crazy. It is just not quite that cut and dried.
