organ donation to save others that want to live, i do not want to.
Question Posted Thursday March 29 2012, 2:51 pm
My existence is an absolute waste of space! I am 42 years old, never been married and have no children, Thank GOD! Just my existence,stresses out the only people that love me, my poor parents! I cant get a job to support myself, pathetic. I am so grateful my parents let me live with them now, because being homeless is hell. Living with them, I ALWAYS feel so awful, guilty, embarassed, ashamed, miserable, in the way, a mooch, loser and big disappointment. I serve NO purpose here, I do nothing, I am a failure. I am not alive. Ending my wasteful existence makes so much sense! My first choice is to donate all my organs, body parts, blood, eyes, etc... So many things that may be able to help others. I am afraid to bring this option up, because I do not want to be put in a psych ward, been there, done that & no thank you. I am in great health, and it makes perfect sense, to give of myself, to any other person that actually WANTS to live, as I do NOT want to exist another minute. Any suggestions? I suppose i am looking for someone like Doctor Kovorkian, a doctor that would assist it my death, in order to put me out of my pain and misery, and give life to anyone that needs something I could offer. If that cant be done, than it just seems wasteful.
As far as no insurance goes I'm sure if you worked with the psychiatrist that they would find a way for you to get the medication and help you needed. I can't see any professional turning their back on someone in your state.
I would visit an emergency room and tell them your outlook on life and see how they handle things. I'll reiterate that you aren't at all well whether you can see it or not as a healthy person doesn't talk like you have about their life nor do they give up.
I should know. I've been around people with bipolar and other mental illnesses who were in a state of crisis or headed there like you are acting.If you don't want to accept my advice than no need to inbox me as you've made your choice not to listen to anyone. I wish you well and hope you see reality and that there is something to live for.

You are the farthest thing away from great health right now. That's being blunt and reality. The problem is you can't see this as being ill which is a part of your mental health issues.
You need to get professional health and may need to be in that psych ward to straighten out. Wanting death and thinking your existence is pathetic is not in the least bit sane.
You may be 42 but you have had all the opportunities others have and have to make something of yourself and you definitely still can. You've given up. Life is what you make of it. Once you get proper treatment you'll realize life is better than you thought and that you can really contribute.
Furthermore, this site cannot and will not offer ways to kill or physically harm one's self. Also thinking of ending your life just to give organs to others isn't rational thought either. My suggestion see a psychiatrist as you appear to be in crisis and get your life back as a result. There's so much to live for even if you haven't accepted that yet.

Then I was sad, because after your death, your parents will be left wondering what happened, why and if they could have helped you. So much more wasteful to end your life than spend it helping others, like your mum and dad, for example.
WHat most annoys me is that you want to restrict your help to just a few who may benefit from whatever organs the doctors can harvest from your body. Surely you can see that by staying alive and helping other people to improve their lives, you'll be potentially helping hundreds, maybe thousands of lives?
There are hundreds of ways that you can help people who are in similar situations to you; charities are always looking for willing helpers. I know its hard when money is tight, but surely its better than giving up altogether!
Ask at local charity shops, go online and search for 'volunteers' or 'charity work' for ideas.
I know you can't do everything but start where you are and do what you can.
Hope this helps you, let me know if you need further advice (or just congratulations on doing so well!) Best wishes. [ Carriebeca's advice column | Ask Carriebeca A Question ]
