$500,000? (mortgage the house and sell your soul)
$100,000?

i already have my “death pill”. it took me a while to get it, but i have it. enough fentanyl to kill me 100 times over. with respect to the “when”, i think i will know when it’s my time. so far, i’m in survival mode.
Since I can only afford the discount version, I would prefer to spend my money on something else.
10k I guess, I would keep it until I “feel” ready.
If I had 500k (or even 100k) to spare then I’d have enough to afford a life that might feel more worth living, without the same worries of work and survival. I might stretch to 10k for a pill, if I was really desperate and didn’t want to plan anything. More likely I’d just make do with my own ‘discount’ version.
I’m keeping my money. I can buy a .357 for under $500. I’m afraid that my 9mm won’t do the job.
Same as CW. But right now the therapist is winning. Right now life is winning. I keep the .357 close and my therapist closer. She is amazing. I still don’t trust life totally.
I want to live too dammit. I wish my body would cooperate. I want to be a healthy grey haired lady dispensing good advice to my young friends. I want to grow old with my husband by my side. I want to stop getting bad diagnosis after bad news. I hate being sad and sickly. I want to walk a 5K. Snorkel in the Keys. Do what I used to do. What I love. Volunteer work. Mentoring. Gardening. Dancing. I’m going to die. But I would prefer to dance over that cliff! Saw my therapist today too a1957.
Dancing is wonderful. What kind do you like most?
Ballroom. We took lessons before we got married. I like the Foxtrot and the Cha Cha! But disco dancing was fun too. Anything as long as it’s got a good beat!
Hmmm. I’d buy the $1000 “maybe” pill. I’m thinking, if it is a dud, I’d follow through with my first met hod, assuming the pill doesn’t incapacitate me. If it does, then it sucks to be me.
.357 also. Hollow points. Lights out.
I’d pay the $10k, but there would be stipulations spelled out in an iron-clad contract. For $10k, I want my final experience to be a full week of spellbinding scenery, mediation, pampering and I want a physician assistance, so if something goes wrong, there will be a lethal “Plan B” to ensure the desired result. And music, let there be music and flowers and ambient lighting.
Yeah, for that I’d pay $10k. (Can I put that on credit?)
wow iceberg…that sounds divine xox
It makes perfect sense. If I’m going to go out on my own terms, why not in style?
Absolutely.
Less than 1000. I’d have to live until i could use it (a couple of years from now), so being left with no money (or hugely in debt, which is kinda where i am now anyways, lol) would make things even worse. 500.000 tho? what do you get for that amount of money, sharks with freaking lasers attached to their heads?
