Are you still living at home and how do you feel about that?

Not technically at home, but I live with an am a partial carer for my grandmother. Moved in about ten years ago after uni, was experiencing mental illness and rent costs are so high here I just stayed. Ended up going part time after a breakdown, and with her increasing disability I’ve just stayed to help look after her. We both get on well so it works for me!
Do Brits generally respect the "private sphere" when it comes to personal matters?

Fair enough! I just think it’s something most people would benefit from, even if you’re not actively suffering from poor mental health. Having a completely impartial, nonjudgmental person to listen to you, focused just on you can be really soothing.

You don’t know anyone who’s mentioned going to therapy? At this point about half the people I know, myself included, have openly mentioned having it. It should absolutely be the norm and I genuinely think everyone would benefit from it, it’s not some scam.

Not everyone is able to recover from mental illness though, and some people do genuinely live with worsening conditions and remain resistant to any form of treatment. I think if you’re absolutely going to commit suicide anyway and avenues for treatment for been exhausted then euthanasia should be an option.

In a very likely painful way, with a large margin of error which may leave you in a worse state, leaving other people to unexpectedly find your body? Instead of a method with minimal suffering, guaranteed to work, and in a dignified manner where professionals and loved ones can be present and involved? Just saying off yourself is not an equivalent.

I think often just having it as an option is a relief for a lot of people. Many people sign up for assisted suicide programs but don’t end their lives that way, but knowing it’s an option makes carrying on easier.

But we’ve had access to lots of those spices for hundreds and hundreds of years now, so I think it’s fair to say it’s part of our cuisine. Probably longer than we’ve had access to potatoes. If you only go by what was naturally occurring in any one country any cuisine would be considerably more limited and bland.

Partially because the two cars I’d most likely to practice in outside of any lessons and drive once I’m able are both automatic. Also because between dyspraxia and an anxiety disorder I’d rather minimize stress as much as possible. I agree though, being able to do both would be best ultimately.
