Partially sighted stroke and cancer patient, learning to walk again, going through months of foot surgeries. Fighting a disability benefit appeal. I won my last appeal just 2 years ago and am now going through yet another one. All I want is peaceful, painless assisted suicide.

Thank you so much!
Yes it’s come through, thank you so much!
I have spoken about the difficulties of accessing the food bank and lack of help from the authorities on here many times before. I don’t really have the energy to type it all up again.
Thank you.
Oh, I guess they’ve taken it down now.
It’s probably a huge house, much bigger than he needs. Even the advice columnist says he should downsize.
My landlady bought the house we currently live in, in 2000, for £95K. She recently had it valued and they said it’s worth £375K, and would be worth £425K if she had the issues with it fixed.
Thank you.
yes I can try that thanks.
If this was my only problem that might be enough but it just feels like too much on top of everything else already. And going outside and walking around creates good chemicals in the brain, which helps. I’ve got no way to get that now.
I am tired of being online all the time though. I want to be outside. I feel like I’m in prison.
I have thought about this many times. If this is the case, why do some people suffer so much more than others? What’s the purpose of those who don’t suffer much? And why is it dragging on for so long? if you take into account the history of life on earth, since animals suffer too, then cavepeople existed for hundreds of thousands of years, then civilised humans for thousands of years, billions of humans and probably millions of trillions of other lifeforms. Why does god need the suffering to drag on for so long? Not to mention why does it need to experience the same suffering over and over again? Millions of humans have experienced the same suffering as each other - millions have been enslaved, millions have been sex trafficked, millions experienced war, starvation, illness and disability, the loss of loved ones, loneliness, poverty and fear. Why does god need to experience these things from billions of different perspectives over and over again?
If there is some kind of higher purpose for all of this then I think it’s more likely that we’re supposed to be using the natural bad things in life, such as lack of necessities, illness, natural disasters etc as an opportunity to show love and care and help to our fellow humans. Obviously humanity in general is failing miserably at this though, and even making matters worse.
Well it’s Australia so he probably got eaten by a giant spider.

I’m just waiting to see what my financial situation will be, both with my own benefit appeal and the general changes the government are introducing. I can’t face being potentially out on the streets or shuffled around homeless shelters, when I’m unwell, disabled and going through surgeries.
I spent most of my working life as a carer for the elderly. Most of the people I looked after had kids, but their kids didn’t bother with them, visited them twice a year if they were lucky. Having kids is no guarantee of companionship in old age.

Yes, I’ve read some of the previous parliamentary debate on this subject and didn’t see anything like that. I’ll contact ciwf and ask them about it.
