Having your throat cut seems like one of the most unpleasant ways to die, I am also too lazy to Google it but I can't imagine many people choosing that.
I agree.
Also every movie and other source ever says that drowning is supposed to be an easy way, and it's such obvious bullshit. Nobody ever accidentally breathes in a bit of water, like milliliters, and noticed the ungodly pain that causes? Somehow filling your lungs with a hostile substance is aight though?

I'm starting to think that people should be required to take a basic test on construction prior to being allowed to watch DIY shows. With questions like:
1. Building to code:
A. Too much effort.
B. More of an aspiration rather than a requirement.
C. Is the bare minimum effort level.

YOU ARE BEING INSENSITIVE ABOUT SUICIDE
what
Dude said there was a line across the neck like it was cut....
And even then... /shrug?
I'm sorry but maybe I'm ignorant of statistics but I can't imagine cutting your own throat is like..a popular suicide method?
Let me rephrase. It's not a stereotypical method that you would associate with suicide.
Guns, Hanging, Pills, Wristcutting
Dude is..reaching, and I mean reaching.
I recognize that I'm not a mental health professional, but I have spent as much time in a psych ward as most of them, I'd wager, in terms of sheer cumulative hours
And you see a lot of scars, and you hear a lot of stories
And I really don't want to get into it too much because it's gruesome + depressing but even the physiology of trying to cut your own throat is suspect, I'd think!
You'd have to set up some sort of ... guillotine, or throat-cutting machine, you'd think
Bonus: by the time you finish building your machine you won't even feel like killing yourself anymore.

I guess I get to practice living in the moment and not being anxious about things I can't control, at least.
...can you give the cat back at this point?
uhhhhhhh
Look. Life is stressful. Dealing with the emotional, financial, and physical burden of a cat with aggressive cancer while also thinking about graduating, getting married, and moving cross country is not required. The cat was adopted, what, a month ago, a few weeks ago? Probably not enough time to create a significant emotional connection. One's own emotional health takes priority over charity to one particular animal.
Unfortunately, due to her reclusive nature, we've spent a shitton of time bonding with her, and she's actually super sweet. Also everyone is depressed, though I guess there's no way this isn't going to end in a soulcrushing fashion.
Yes. I think the acute sadness of giving up a pet now is better than the constant depression trigger of watching this happen to a pet you increasingly love. Obviously it's not my decision, and possibly in your situation I would not be able to take my own advice here.
...I'm trying to avoid making jokes here about returning the husband with cancer back to the shelter because that's definitely wrong but is amusing me...
I thought you specifically might find some utility in the word; I believe we have the same sort of tendencies in that regard, and I certainly consider that a core trait for which I previously had no name, so--probably.

Shivahn, if you give me the details on your cat's condition, I might be able to ask my sister's opinion on it. Obviously her take won't be better than your local vet's because she's not there, but it might be a good second opinion to what you're getting from the internet.

I mean, I did go to multiple sites, we did take the cat to the vet, who mentioned these tumors aren't good usually, and it's not that hard to diagnose (it's a mammary tumor). I think I'm right on this, regrettably.

Well, yes. This thing has the potential to significantly decrease quality of life--that's a huge defect! If there is an option to not have that happen, take it!
I used to work with a physician who owned a cat with cancer. The tumor broke the skin was visible as a mass on the cat's body.
It was a tumor caused by the old 3-year rabies vaccine.
The physician decided to just give the cat palliative care until the cat showed signs of discomfort. When I started working with her, the cat had been diagnosed about two years prior and was still going strong. The cat was still alive and doing fine when I left that town and started up a new job elsewhere.
Shiv, it's ultimately up to you and yours, but I just wanted to mention that as a possible option.

If it is a worst case scenario, then the right option is 100% euthanasia, I think. If it hasn't metastasized, maybe not, but I am not sure it going back to the shelter is the actual best choice in any circumstance. For her, anyway.
last week I was in my 20s and pushing twice the distance. I do not understand how cleaning up my diet has lead to losses and it's infuriating. My legs are just dying so early on that I feel hobbled and miserable the entire jog. I don't know what's happening and i'm so frustrated.

Thanks. We have to take them in and have the tumor removed ANYWAY, and maybe it's not malignant. This may end up being the best option. However, both Querry and I are in super shit places right now, psychologically, which... I guess doesn't change the calculus, but sucks.

*googles* ah yeah I can see it comes off that way but the way the word is used in the book helps describe a very specific meaning
--that said, even in these couple of paragraphs I think you can see what it means--a sort of joyful combination of 'conning', 'bullshitting', and 'phoning it in,' (but also a sort of effortful component) facilitated by personal charm. Which isn't vague at all.

Like there's a post I want to make about how I have more ... understanding of the planned suicide versus the spontaneous suicide, but the current mood I'm in lacks the patience, nuance, grace, and / or perspicacity to give the subject either the respect or the sensitivity it deserves, so I'll drop it instead.
Not to mention that's a highly subjective discussion about a massively emotional decision and I can't imagine it going terribly well. But I wanted to say these words about my unwillingness to say those words, because it feels important.
Discussions about suicide methods, (feline) end-of-life decisions, mindfulness, and the nobility of greater effort in an impermanent world during the course of an impermanent life ... the day of the dead approaches indeed.

Take a week off. They haven't told you loudly enough yet, but your legs are protesting!
Plus this is part-mental at this point, and you'll need to almost forget about it, such that you remember it only part-way through your next run, for you to push past it.
