[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 350374, member: 1514"] This is something near and dear to my heart. Having a chronic condition that can be extremely painful I have always said that is what will drive me to end my life faster than my bipolar will. It troubles my doctors, therapists and family at times. I have an active plan. It makes it easier for me to live with my life as it is now and to deal with whatever pain I have. I know that someday, if I simply have enough, I can opt out. I probably will opt out if that decision isnt taken from me by other means. It was almost taken from me with the meningitis. Of course, unknown to me, my family did go against all my wishes and told the doctors to do everything including extraordinary measures to keep me alive. While the doctors were telling my family that they might be wise to contact a funeral home, they refused to accept that and told them to keep me on life support. I guess I am glad now...lol. It probably was a little soon to accept I was done for. I still think it will be the pain and not something else that gets to me. [/QUOTE]
