🧵TW: Suicide #MAiD
*
Not just suicide prevention crisis lines. When my therapist asks “do I have a plan?” How fcked up is it that the biggest part of my answer is now that the canadian govt has a plan for me. She then has to take a somewhat neutral position. Why? I’m disabled.

OTD that MAiD is trending & ppl are so outraged abt what #DisablePeopleToldYou was gonna happen. I don’t have more words for how much assisted suicide laws messed w me or what it’s like to have mental health professionals try to help but ultimately must say — It’s your “choice”

Not once in 6 mnths have I had traditional #SuicidePrevention. Nope. Bc I have #disabilities (and severe pain the healthcare system refuses to relieve) I at best get — well if it’s what you really want u’ll hv to see if the drs who refuse you help will give you a lethal injection
Not exactly a recipe for recovery or self-worth. How TF is #MAIDinCanada gonna play out once open to ppl w sole mental illness? For both clients and mental health professionals supposed to help? Is the govt, DWD and pro-MAID eugenicists gonna insist it be offered as “treatment?”
Forget slippery slopes canada’s headed off a cliff. & this:
@HMChochinov: Making a differentiation b/w suicidal ideation in the context of mental illness vs an express wish to die in the context of a MAID request… is really going to be IMPOSSIBLE for psychiatrists to tease out.

IMHO anyone who’s not imminently dying but wants to die is surely depressed on some lvl. And it begs the question that @CatherineFrazee asked 🇨🇦 lawmakers:
“Why Us?” Why only disabled people?
“Why Us?” Why only disabled people?
Cuz I would do anything for unqualified suicide prevention again. Staying alive should be the unquestioned default for me & everyone I interact w. How broken & ableist is our social contract that it’s not.
Isn’t that what you would want for yourself & your loved ones?
