> hey friends slow on my answer, has it made you think, or is it to close to the truth that it scares you,
---LOL. I think it may have to do, for some (a minority), with the fact that someone suffering chronicaly has sometime a hardtime listening to someone who diminish their level of suffering: "Your not suffering that much compare to some". I KNOW that it's not what you're doing and I've found your question very interesting and made me thought. In fact I'm glad you posted that as it help put things in perspective even if it's not easy to hear, me included.
I already felt that bad that I would have answered your question by a "YES YES YES, BRING IT ON ALREADY !!!"... and also had some pretty hard depressive episode where even if I was in great pain would have had the force to refuse the deal. It's all about your "feeling of urgency" related to your pain: when it's UNBEARABLE.. NOTHING is off the table... in fact, not even death.
It helps put things in perspective and it's a question I'll keep when I wonder if it's time to go to the ER the next time I'll feel very bad. The 'YES' to that question, I guess, tend to come a little before you're fully suicidle and it's better to go before that happens because after that you may not be sure that you actually want to be protected from yourself if you understand what I mean .....
