Situations do differ: Assisted-dying is not illegal in about 5 states in the U.S., so if an adult there has a terminal illness, or is in a comparably bad situation, he has the right as a free American to choose his own destiny. However, many people become suicidal for other reasons, which are often temporary (breaking up with a loved one, loss of a job, etc...), so calling 911 to save them gives them a second chance.

Accepted Answer

Relationships hard: The mind plays such interesting tricks to justify feelings. Relationships can be demanding, but also joyful. If you focus on joyful, it can be wonderful. If you focus on demanding, it can be burdensome. When one makes a commitment to anything, whether a person, a job, an academic situation, it may cause anxiety. Think about how you feel about other commitments and how you handle them.

Accepted Answer

Attachment: I'm sorry for how you feel when you get emotionally close to others. It sounds as though you are subconsciously afraid to form an attachment or commitment. Maybe you've experienced a recent loss of a loved one, or you have a past relationship that you are not over yet. You should consider talking to your regular doctor, and asking for a referral to a Psychiatrist or Psychologist to talk it out.
