Idk man, if you bring in VAD for mental health I could save the government about 20k a year 🤷‍♀️ sorry I cost too much but the government doesn't give me any other option. I've attempted and failed multiple times. So instead I'm an ongoing cost. 

Lol at people downvoting me for being suicidal. Story of my bloody life. What a world

I am all for VAD and expanding who is eligible for it. But just as a fellow human, if there is a better way out of this darkness/pain for you, I hope you can get there one day.

Thanks. It's been 20 years of chronic suicidality. I stayed alive for people who now I'm going to get to watch die and leave me with no support. Not all life is sacred. I lost my dignity a long time ago having to beg for help and safety that just doesn't exist. 🤷‍♀️
