HollyG. Suicide is not always selfish. Was Robin Williams Selfish? He had so many gifts that he shared with so many people. I don't see him as selfish. I think pain severity, physical or psychological, is inversely related to sympathy or empathy for others; Moreover, people tend to rationalize their actions. They may convince themselves that their actually doing right by their loved ones by sparing them from the disruptive impact and emotional turmoil associated with being a caretaker. There's no sparing them from the grieving process they must go through either way. The sooner they do it the sooner they can get on with life.

Besides those who are actually loved by somebody Holly, consider those who may be old, alone, fatally ill, in pain, impoverished, and incapable of sustaining themselves any longer. She may suffer multiple fatal illnesses: AIDS, HEP-C Emphysema, Peripheral Neuropathy all at once. There is a quality of life issue here. Even if she has one person, say a sister, or a brother, or maybe she has both but all they do is argue with each other about who's gonna take responsibility and who's in the better position to help, so neither one dose anything. These half hearted siblings pose the occasional obligatory query concerning her plight, but concern ends if it requires making a sacrifice such as offering a cot when there is a real risk of homeless. In fact, after expressing fear of being sick and homelessness and confiding to her brother (who has a 100K job and a $1M Long Island home) that suicide may be the only other solution (if no housing solution presents itself) even providing details about how she plans to do it, her brother endorsed the plan calling it the product of clear rational thinking (as opposed to depression or other mental illness). So I ask you HollyG, do you really think she is being selfish?

Is it better to opt for a slow painful natural death complicated by extreme poverty and most likely homelessness to delay these siblings grief? (Note: when I say extreme poverty SSI = $710/month for everything. That's it, no food stamps in Fl. for single adult males, 7 year waiting list for housing assistance and possibly indefinite for non-Latin adult males w/ no children). Some people, in such tenuous positions are probably just better off dead. Given these circumstances, is asking if 25 hydrocodone will kill you really all that ridiculous. Given the all the botched executions of late, I think these are very sensible questions. After all, a failed suicide attempt is the worst of all possible outcomes. Ending up with failed organs, in a coma, and worse off then you started is a fate worse then death.

Doubtful but it could make your friend very sick. The acetaminophen in the hydrocodone is what will be the problem at this point. It can cause lover problems and even liver failure if enough is taken. If you haven't already, please help your friend seek medical help.

thank you Mel. I'm sorry to hear about your childhood. I had Satan as a mother. She would laugh while physically abusing me and my sister.
