Suggest Treatment For Mental Torment

default
Posted on Mon, 16 Nov 2015
Question: Dear psychiatrist
the thing I desire is controversial but I've reached the end of the road...am a born again christian who does not believe in suicide but TORMENT in my mind which is like being continuously in hell has made me make serious attempts on my life requiring hospitilisation repeatedly over the last year. I wish to apply to some higher authority to get permission to be put into a coma - probably morphine coma...can you give me info on SOMEWHERE in the world that will allow me to do this. I'd prefer to be in the coma at my own home where am surrounded by my family. no human mind can sustain the type of suffering I am going through.....how do I go about appealing to a court of law or can you tell me what address to write to. I am deadly serious. I am a nurse and in perfect control of my mental decisions. please help
