And thus my point is illustrated. Few seem to believe that wanting to die is a valid state of mind without some sort of physical or psychological malady.
And hence why as is often the point, being unique isn't a desired thing. Because most people don't want the frightening unfamiliarity.
Every organ in the body, when healthy, supports the life of the whole organism. The suicidal brain is not supporting the life of the organism; it is not healthy.
Get off of internet forums and seek medical help. Your loved ones would tell you the same thing.
If what you say is true, then why did no species evolve immortality?
What about people that give their lives to save others? Are they mentally ill as well?
And again this is what I mean. I don't have anyone close to me anymore outside of the ones in my care. That was a conscious decision to minimize any potential collatoral harm when I do die.
My previous friends have drifted off over the last 15 years from me intentionally neglecting those relationships. I have never had intimate relationships with anyone, I haven't spoken to my sibling in 22 years, and most of my kin lives continents away and to whom I have never even seen in my life.
Who exactly are these loved ones you think exist?
The question: "Who exactly are these loved ones you think exist?"
The answer: "elderly relatives" "My previous friends" "my sibling" "my kin"
When you say, "That was a conscious decision to minimize any potential collatoral harm when I do die", it tells me that you were suicidal first, and lost contact with your friends and family second. You have all of those connections, and they will be devastated to learn that you took your own life without reaching out for help.
(I'm ignoring the first two paragraphs you posted - it's just pointless argumentation on your part that doesn't have anything to do with your illness.)
