@CanadaPain @aander1987 @CTVW5 I wish I could articulate the differences with #SuicideDue2Pain. For the better part of 30 yrs I’ve struggled with suicidality. For 8 yrs I did not. For the last 2 of untreated pain there’s been times where physical pain + emotional and psych pain could’ve led to suicide. BUT…
@CanadaPain @aander1987 @CTVW5 Even as I wait for possible MAiD. With my pain so bad, so acute. I need relief in the same way humans need air. #SuicideDue2Pain has become almost involuntary. I have to believe that for some CPP in some instances. It’s almost a reflex like breathing and swallowing.
@CanadaPain @aander1987 @CTVW5 You can hold back both for a bit. But eventually the body takes over. You never know when you can no longer hold your breath. Even if you wanna hold it in. Even if you want to live.
There IS a difference btwn #SuicideDue2Pain and mental illness alone. I know bc I’ve lived both.

@CanadaPain @aander1987 @CTVW5 PLS hear me say I’m not AT ALL diminishing emotional, psych, trauma pain. I have felt that pressure that’s also hard to resist. This comes into play w chronic pain too. I’m just acutely aware of something markedly different. We need to understand this and HC must act accordingly.
