Best believe when they happens to me, I will get doctor assisted death.

 

[ace mooha]

I pray to Allah not make me reach an age where I can't even take care of myself, and be a burden on my family. I've seen very old people who are pitied by others because they can't help themselves. I hate when people pity me and feel sorry for me, I hate the look in their eyes when they do it.

And I also pray to Allah not to take my soul unless he is pleased with me.
YA ALLAH AMEEN.

Someone who commits suicide is a COWARD who had nothing to live for.
True bravery is fighting to survive through every single difficulty.

People who had a suicide victim develop lots of copying mechanisms, this being one of them.

She seems to have influenced you to thinking suicide victims are cowards, which they aren't.
