This counts especially for my dad. I have got a patient degree and another paper (not sure how to translate it; it is a proxy I think) where I describe that if I try to commit suicide or have an accident they are not allowed to prolong my life with machines. They might ignore it. Though I am glad I have it. If I survive with brain damage (I have never seriously attempted but I am very scared about the scenario) I gave my best friend the right to end my life. I think if they find me and try to save me they will ignore it. But if I end up a vegetable I think my best friend get with these papers the allowance to end the prolonging of my life. The one paper was difficult to write. I was scared/have no money to show it to a lawyer. But I used official guides on how to write it. I name the reasons for my suicide etc. (Usually I don't like suicide notes) and that it is a rational decision etc. etc. I think they probably won't accept it. Despite the fact my best friend could prove that I have this wish for more than 3 years constantly . (in fact it is way longer)
But the other paper is a proxy. I think that is more difficiut to negate. Though I am really scared about the following scenario. I survive as a vegetable and my parents sue my best friend in order to prolong my life. (Despite the fact my dad said if he would ever end up severly disabled he strongly hopes they will end his life.)
Parents can be very selfish in this regard.

A DNR request will generally not be honored in case of a suicide.

These types of documents are based on being "Of sound mind" and being suicidal is not considered a rational decision, no matter how it seems to you.

Many hospital web sites have forms for designating a health care proxy. You may be able to find them there and many only require a notary seal rather than a lawyer, which is much more cheaply and easily accomplished.

Yeah the vegetable/brain damaged thing scares me too. But like @UpandDownPrincess said the "sound mind" thing probably not matter if its suicide because 'muh suicide is always wrong muh muh irrational muh'. possibly being hospitalized or veggie I think is what keeps me from attempting because that'd be pretty shit.
I don't know what a solution is but hopefully your situation works out well for you.
