Very sad that folk feel this is the only course of action they can take. Nothing is so bad that it cannot be, at the very least, managed, leading to a resolution given time, understanding and patience.

Sometimes there is no choice. If you live with the chronic pain which has no cure you just want to end it. Surgeon messed up up my knee and now I have to live with this pain. I have been thinking about jumping too, I feel like have no choice.

You do have a choice. And options. They are out there to find.

I suffered extreme pain for 3 months. I waited 7 weeks for an operation, only for it to be cancelled due to lack of bed/s for another 16 days.
RSCH knew I was in a distressed state, but did nothing, leaving it to Haywards Heath.
Bar doing the op myself!- what else could I do?
Beachy Head crossed my mind most days after cancelled op, believe me.

Thankfully, I've just had my operation, and I'm just trying to get back to a " normal life" pain free, though I probably suffered a break-down that hasn't been picked up on.
The worst 3 months of my 56 years for sure.

RIP to the person who sadly took his life.
