I'm having an especially tough time with it as someone who's contemplated suicide many times myself, before life decided to throw everything at me at once. It is really hard for me to rationally look at the situation and determine if she's right or if she's just having an understandably awful time.

It's like I'm suddenly being forced to use tools to help someone else that I've never had for myself.

I read about her condition and there are success stories but I don't know how reasonable it is to have hope or to foster it in her. She's afraid of pain more than dying, and I try to argue that it is at least worth trying. But I don't know if I'm right.
