cant speak for your friend but sometimes that is the right choice it may not feel like it and comes at a heavy cost but in the end you go out on your own terms   not rotting alone in some deralict care facility treated like an inconvenient mess that someone else has to clean spending your waking life reliving all of your failures that lead you to where you are forgetten and thrown away to make room for other people that dont require the constant heavy lifting needed just to associate with you   its not everyones fate hell not even close for many but when you can skip ahead to the end of the book and realize the whole story doesnt go anywhere why bother reading it   society operations on its own rules unless we can find a way to force ourselves to blend in though medication typically we will never be understood or accepted for some people thats too much to handle nothing wrong with that in the end only you know what is right
