*Trigger warning* Assisted death

[Imarni]

I just watched some of Laura’s choice. I became curious having attempted suicide over my own childhood sexual abuse trauma and failed court justice. All the support for recent high profile victims is great it was the opposite for me and I’ve briefly looked into the countries that assist with death. I wasn’t depressed this morning. I know this will pass. Family are a bit agressive right now. I’ve had a dreadful experience with mental health system they are not an option. My little cat is my only connection I can’t cope with the news.
