Poll: How many of you are CTB because of severe chronic pain (specifically)

[DoomsdayCTB]

Wish I asked this a few years earlier. I'm sure the forum has lost enough. I'm hoping to see a small bit of data here. There's a quote, "Pain medication is suicide prevention." something like that. Currently sitting on my bed, 8/10 pain. How are you?

 

[darksouls]

both

 

[Zikelir]

no, schizophrenia

 

[_Gollum_]

Neither, I reject the term "depression".

Very sorry to see all the people on here who would otherwise want to live but can't due to chronic pain. It sounds like a special kind of hell.

 

[cursedlife]

for me I want to die because of past trauma/ptsd , schizophrenia and most importantly poverty

 

[endboss]

schizophrenia, depression, addiction, severe tinnitus

 

[itsgone2]

memories, mental health, pain from botched surgery, regret, tinnitus, loneliness

 

[Forever Sleep]

It's not really any of those things. More of a situational depression rather than a mental illness- as I see it anyhow. I'm so tired of being alive and sustaining a life I don't find worth the effort. I'm not sure you need to feel depressed to experience life like that. It would also be to avoid old age and the greater likelihood of illness.

I've had moderate-severe chronic headaches especially from sun exposure/physical exertion since I was a child (I'm in my thirties now). Luckily, I have access to pain medication due to my job, leading to a morphine addiction. Fortunately, this means my pain is more bearable. Still, addiction is annoying, and it bugs me to no end.
