I’m so sorry, that sounds awful and so so exhausting. One last thing then I will stop promise, it’s a bit annoying when someone keeps trying to fix you. At least I didn’t recommend positive thinking. Like yes Cynthia I’m sure that will cure the cancer, why didn’t I just think of that!

ECT has shown some really fantastic results in treating TRD. I’d recommend reading Shock: The Healing Power of Electroconvulsive Therapy by Kitty Dukakis. If nothing else it is a good read. And thank you. I wish you peace

The interesting thing about suicide is that it can be “contagious”. Also being under the influence increases the risk of it, not to mention access to a gun. This is some of the evidence that points to most suicides being an impulsive act. Having a plan already in place to go to the “euthanasia clinic” could curb some of the impulsive suicides. Completely understand the comparison to the stupid abortion clinic ridiculousness. It just seems like there needs to be a way to ensure the people using it are in the statistical group of multiple suicide attempts that end in success.

I’m sorry you feel like you don’t want to be here. I absolutely understand that, there have been many times in my life when I felt the same. I don’t know the right way to say this, but have you tried therapy or medication? Both have helped me at various points in my life, and it is a relief not to feel that way. I say this because it isn’t too late for you. By the time I was truly feeling excited by living, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I hope you can find a path to looking forward to being here in the world most of the time.

We also tried predator scents. You could get just the essential oil, it’s pretty cheap, and put a little bit where they are getting in the house.

If you are rural, it might be why nothing other than poison is working. Deterrents only work if they have somewhere else to go. If your house is surrounded by yummy food fields, yeah you’re the best place to sleep. That sucks, thank you for removing the dead ones, and not using glue traps.

I agree in theory, but often the desire to end one’s life is often symptom of a treatable disease, or short term situation. Less than 10 percent of people who survive a suicide attempt, latter try again and succeed. There would need to be a lot of safety net in place, just like there is for the terminal.

Honestly I think it could save people. Knowing there is a way out, so to speak, could prevent people from attempts on their own. Not to mention it would prevent traumatizing whoever finds a successful suicide. Needing proof that other treatments are inactive would get even more the help they need.

Have you tried one of those essential diffuser things, and use peppermint. Powerful smells like that “blind” rodents because their main sense is smell. We also couldn’t get the tap dancing chipmunks to get out of the attic. Tried everything, peppermint essential oil worked for us. Tried the things made for rodent repelling that smells, but they don’t really work as well. Lol

Poison can kill nontarget animals, pets, owls, hawks, foxes, etc.

Or candles…

House obvi! I might actually get a diagnosis for my mystery chronic pain. Thar would be fantastic

God, this feels like something from the 2000s internet

One of my favorite ‘salads’ is jello, mini marshmallows, cool whip, and canned mandarin oranges. I was told it has fruit, so it counts as a salad. A staple at any church potluck.
