I appreciate this is an odd question. I’m done with life. Still relatively young at 47 but a no hoper. Not going to bore anyone with my life history and story. It’s not that interesting anyway. If anyone could recommend a (relatively) painless and quick way to end it, I’d appreciate it. Thank you. ---

Yea…I’d give advice and a lot of dopers would (reluctanty or not), but since there are liability issues involving assisting a suicide online that could shut down this forum and …I’m sure the mods wouldn’t allow it. Dude…this really isn’t the place to ask that…or at the least, not in such an overt manner. ---

Yes. I appreciate that. I’ve found a suicide forum. Please remove message moderators. Apologies. Thanks ---
