In reply to the discussion: I almost died last week. [View all]Evoman
(8,040 posts)48. I'm sorry that you had so much pain you wanted to check out.
Emotional pain can be just as bad as physical pain. I get it. I feel a lot of guilt for traumatizing my wife and family. I begged them to kill me. The pain was so overwhelming I order them to kill me. If my wife had a means to kill me she might have, but it would have killed her to and that's something I find it had for me to forgive myself for.
Fortunately, I don't really want to die because I do love life... It's just impossible to love it when you are bent over puking because the pain of cramps is so egregious.
Though I'm no religious, not do I think there is a reason for my pain besides "life can suck", I wish you nothing but the best in dealing with your own pain.

I'm a fellow sufferer of kidney stones. I've often said that none of the pain I've been through

Glad you got through that - I hope you don't get any time feeling as bad as that again

Lucky for me, my wife made a deal with the universe that if I survived, I would finally get the PS4

Mercy! I hope you can tap into whatever reservoirs remain to make it through.
