I hope you never get severe depression or any physical illness that wants you to commit suicide. Because I doubt that you would last long, considering you clearly never delt with any of that before.

I have, actually, and that's why I feel as strongly about this as I do. If I didn't believe what I've said, I'd have most likely killed myself. I'm alive today for the hope that someday things could get better and for the knowledge that my death wouldn't fix anything.

The goalposts have not moved a single inch.

You moved the goalpost by going from "we should ban assisted suicide" to "we should make suicide harder (instead of actually doing something against the root causes)".

I'm glad that you "went trough the same and turned out fine", but most people that bring up that argument have not turned out fine.

My position from the start has been that assisted suicide, if it is to be allowed at all, should only be allowed for people with incurable physical pain. You can find multiple different comments of me saying that in this thread.

Wow. Thank you so much for telling me you think that suicide is the only answer to my problems. That's a very reasonable and normal thing to say to someone you've never met.

Showing your real colors. You people just want people with mental illness to kill themselves so we'll be out of your hair. Go fuck yourself, asshole.

Completely writing off whatever progress I've made while knowing precisely jack shit about my journey. What the fuck is wrong with you to think that's ok?

I think your argument that it's OK for people to suffer because they might get better some day is awful. What if they don't get better? What if it gets worse? Why is this anyones business except the affected persons?

The fact that you battled mental shit is just a display of survivorship bias and doesn't mean shit IMO.

Fuck off. The only reason I didn't block you was to give you a chance to realize you said something incredibly fucked up and apologize. Your attitude is a perfect example of why I'm opposed to this garbage and has only served to validate my position, which I now am more convinced of than ever. Blocked.
