suicide is NOT a sin
I wish to thank God for Switzerland and the people there who recently voted to make the unsuccessful treatment of depression a qualification for their physician assisted program. I intend to use it. I will not be leaving any family behind because God took them all from me and left me with severe depression for the last 6 years and horrible back pain. I believe this is God's way of giving me a way out. Please tell me how this is wrong? No responses from born agains because they are not saved ad will not be going to heaven anyway.

I too have suffered from severe depression due to disabling back pain as a result of an auto accident. I can't say I feel all your pain but I do know how horrible depression can be. Fortunately I found the right doctor and the right therapist to help me and I have been in recovery now for several years.
I know you feel all alone in the world with the passing of your family. Friends do not know how to be with you or treat someone with depression so they too desert you. But dieing isn't an answer or a solution, it is just an end.
Their is help for your depression and back pain. I see a pain management doctor at a pain management center at a local hospital. I am fortunate to live not far from a Nationally known Rehab hospital that most major league sports use for there players.
As for my depression doctors it took 3 tries to find the therapist I felt comfortable with and 2 tries to find a psychiatrist I was comfortable with. I kept trying until I did find the people that I was comfortable with and that is the key to recovery. The doctors and therapist know this and if you are not comfortable with one say so. They will help you find someone else.
There is help out there for you. You start by asking for help by dialing 911, going to a hospital emergency room or call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. They are open 24/7. The number is: 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

This is a difficult question. I cannot necessarily tell you it is wrong. This is your conscious decision to end your life. I would however not say that God has provided you with a "way out". By the way I'm agnostic so I'm not trying to offend or generalize the Christian faith (or any faith that you are a follower of). I am well read on my verses however, coming from a religious family. God as I understand him takes no pity on quitters. Essentially you are quitting your life. You have your reasons which are undeniably acceptable reasons. I would urge you to at least wait a month and try to see through the pain you have had thrust upon you. Perhaps God did plan this for you to make you stronger. I have gone through some hard times, none as difficult as yours though. But what helped me keep my wits was noticing the small things that held beauty around me and keeping a journal of these things. I am in no way suggesting that this would help you the same way it helped me but I do hope I have inspired some way that you could create a little hope for yourself. If not, I respect your decision. I hope you find the answer you are looking for. Good luck in your endeavors.
