Hi, can someone please tell me where I can legally get an euthanasia appointment for having diagnosed ADHD and undiagnosed autism?

I know it's better to get support than to end my life but there is no support anywhere. I have tried to get support in my home country Australia but there's no accommodations for somebody like me, and I have faced a lot of violence from the justice system there and I am scared to return.

My ADHD/ autism has ruined my life. I'm living off savings overseas and am trying really hard to find a job but it's not possible, I'm too disabled. I will keep trying until I run out of money. But after that I don't know what I will do. I don't want to die but I don't think there's any other choice. But I don't want to have to kill myself on my own when the time comes. Please, I really want the chance to die with dignity if I do not have the means to support myself anymore. I need to plan in advance to know how much money I need for getting euthanasia.

Please someone can you tell me what the steps are? I really have tried to find support but there isn't any that I can find to support myself so I don't have a choice and I really don't want to have to kill myself on my own.

I lived in Australia for years. There are many publicallu publicly available programs and access to a psychiatrist is covered by Medicare. Hospitals also will provide crisis support and this is covered by bulk billing.

You will have to put in the work and get medicated. The fact that you’re not taking any medication is already a red flag. You need to commit to treatment and follow the system. No country is going to give you free money and housing without the obligation to work for AuADHD not even Sweden or Denmark.

I'm glad the Australian system has worked for you. It hasn't for me. I have gone through the suicidal care the system provides. I have voluntarily gone to hospital - guess what it didn't work , I felt like committing suicide more but had to hide it so I would be let out. Somebody has called help for me from the police before, even after I told them that going with them to hosptial will make the suicidal thoughts worse, they forced me to go to hospital. The next day they did a welfare check and ended up arresting me based on false claims of domestic violence. The "domestic violence" situation in question was a different time when I tried to kill myself and they framed it as I was trying to harm them. But you know what? The justice system didn't help me because it was a 2 against one situation. It's complicated, but the person accusing me was likely jealous of me and the person who backed them up was their boyfriend. I had no other witnesses around to prove my story and hence I had nothing to defend myself with. The pro bono lawyer I received refused to help me unless I pleaded guilty because trying to prove that I was innocent would take too much of their time. So no, the system didn't work for me but I'm glad it worked for you.

Until you are properly medicated you should not be posting about euthanasia. You keep dodging the medication and psychiatric care part. That’s essential.
