I just wrote to Pegasus Switerland

I asked them if it was 100% necessary to have the permission of a family member or a friend to acces euthanasia.
I'm not sure if they will answer but I'll update if it is the case. I wanted to contact them since a long time. I don't really want to die in Switzerland, but I'm just curious about what they can tell me about it. I don't want to spend 10 000 CHF to die with strangers, but they have the peaceful protocol, so I don't think they'll accept me, but I don't exclude this option. The center is 2 hours near my location, but I'm agoraphobic and I cannot travel. But if they tell me it's possible for me to get euthanasia, I guess I could maybe talk about it to my family.
I'm disaled and things are getting worse. People who have access to assisted suicide are "lucky". They can say goodbye properly. Damn it's so sad to die alone with painful methods

I read a post here and the person said he / she didn't get an answer from them. I'm not sure they will answer.

Thanks. I read a post here and the person said he / she didn't get an answer from them. I'm not sure if they will answer but I'll give you news here.

About three weeks ago I emailed Final Exit here in the US about an assisted suicide. They called me back a few days later and we talked at length, and from what I gathered I probably won't qualify because of my age (too young) and I am not terminally ill.

I told them that I live in chronic pain, which was a half truth, but didn't mention anything about my battle with major depressive disorder, anxiety or PTSD. I knew that once they knew about that, I would be denied. They don't assist those with mental illness but instead focus on those who are elderly and/or terminally ill.

I hope that you find the answers and the painless exit you seek and the peace you deserve.

How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

Mid 50's

Your kidding, mid-50s should be more than enough. Smh

I find it completely unfair and illogical to dismiss mental illnesses (which are very often worse than physical illnesses). These laws are always created by healthy people, that's what revolts me the most !
