Venting A dog got ran over by the garbage truck this morning

[orange]

Absolutely ridiculous. trigger warning for blood and animal suffering. I'm a skeptic atheist but I feel like the universe is egging me on. I don't know where to start, or how to speak abt it without making it about myself. The owner was holding her dog with an open fracture in the middle of the road. I was doing my best to be helpful but I could NOT look at it or hold it. plus it was in great pain and bit one woman who was trying to help. when i first approached, the garbage woman (pun not intended) was GIVING THE OWNER AN ATTITUDE AFTER RUNNING HER DOG OVER. AT THE TIME I DIDN'T EVEN REGISTER IT BUT HOW CAN U DO THAT. She was saying stuff along the lines of "hey, it wasn't on purpose" I cannot understand the level of evil. the blood was everywhere. all i could do for them was bring them their car.

a few more people approached them to try and help. the owner was NOT in a state where she could hold the dog. someone brought over this big thick blanket so they could lift it without touching it but it wasn't working. I'm an absolute pussy and could not help. the dog was howling in pain trying to stand on all fours on the blanket, with its bone sticking out. i still had the keys to their car in my hand and I wanted to give it to them but I couldn't even look at them.

At this point I wasn't looking but my partner told me later a random couple came, the woman lifted the dog on its back, brought it to their car and took it to the hospital. she did in like four seconds what four people weren't able to do in five minutes. It left a pool of blood on the pavement. the two daughters of the owner were there. one looked only a couple years younger than me, while the other was like 10. she was told not to look but she did anyways, of course.

idk what to say. they got in their car. the owner couldn't drive, I don't know who was it that drove for them. I approached them and asked if I could do anything else. the owner said no. I asked if they wanted tissues. the owner said no. I gave them a pack of tissues. the owner lifted up her hands. the coagulated blood had sticked her fingers together.

the police was called as soon as the dog was run over. they arrived five minutes after the dog had left.

Even if the dog survives the blood loss it will not have a good rest of its life. it was rather old, and fat. that leg is NOT being saved. they would have to amputate if they decide not to just put it down.

imagine effectively killing someone's pet in such a brutal violent way and going "hey, it wasn't on purpose!" with an attitude. I want to fucking DIE.

I appreciate that. I felt way better after venting.

That's an awful thing to witness.

I sometimes get distressed seeing roadkill, even though I have to on a daily basis. One has to be very careful to avoid hitting kangaroos here, and even then it is impossible to avoid them sometimes. Same for lovely birds like cockatoos that are common here, so the locals have no appreciation that they are expensive, exotic pets overseas. I always say a quiet goodnight to them when I see they are gone.

Just funny that those of us who actually care about other beings are the ones to CTB. Not a great outcome for humanity.

 

[Rational man]

Not nice i understand. When my Father died, i didn't shed a tear. When my cat died, i cried for weeks.

Says a lot about me and my relationship with humanity i guess.

Please excuse my ignorance, but *you* want to die, because you witnessed a truck driver with a jackass attitude? That just doesn't sound right to me.

What is wrong with *your* life? Why is *your* existence no longer worth living in? Why not just run over the truck driver instead? (pun intended)

I mean if smth like that wouldn't worsen your mental state more power to you

@orange - I got a small dog myself and I love him very much. But appart from considering him in my last will and asking my relatives to take care of him, there is nothing more I can do for him.

I have exhausted my strength and that is all there is to it. Seeing other people or animals die doesn't faze me anymore, than the cruelty of a world that I experienced as hostile since before I was old enough to walk. I saw my mother getting beat up by my Dad and by my Uncle - before she turned around and beat me up, too

My very own classmates tried to shuff me off the school's roof and those were the easier days of my childhood. Pain is life, for only the dead feel it no more.

Demanding someone tell you their life story under a vent post to justify their feelings of suicidality is not the way to go

 

[Teddybear]

@orange - Well, you posted that vent and I am not demanding anyone tell his or "my story". I already did that myself in all detail and you know what? It didn't make any difference whatsoever.

We are all trapped in our own hell and no back padding is gonna change that. In all honesty, I don't expect the world to stop spinning for even a sec, because of my departure.

I just don't think a dog getting run over is a valid reason to give up on life. You could adopt one from the shelter to take care of it in exchange. If the remaining circumstances of your life are not worse than that, then there is no reason to give up the fight. But that is *my* oppinion, which nobody has to share (and few enough do).

Well, this isn't the reason I want to CBT, no. Sorry my vent post wasn't up to your standards Mr. Rick Sanchez

@orange - Hello there, I got a strong suspicion who I am talking to here. What happened to your backpack of grass Dawn? Wasn't that supposed to help you smoke away all your troubles in life?

But if this is my other ex- then don't even get us started. Dawn at least was a self-professed bitch, who knew how to take it and dish it out again.

You're so judgemental under peoples posts. Maybe try to learn basic decencies?

@blueclover_ - Hey, if I am talking with one of my Exes here, then you first learn to STAY THE HECK OUT OF IT!

Wait are you for real? I'm a literal lesbian, I don't know who you are. I understand people here are in a lot of pain and I'm trying not to be rude, but you sound sick. Like, in a break or a crisis.

@orange - You called me "Rick Sanchez" now why was that? And with all due respect, if I wouldn't be "damaged goods" upstairs, then I shouldn't be on this website. Because despite what all those death romantics are craving about, wanting to actually die (not just being depressed about it for moment's sake) is neither healthy nor "normal".

Life is supposed to be a joyous affair and if it isn't then there is something deeply wrong about it. That doesn't mean its free of pain and suffering - but the amount of that isn't supposed to top our abillity to cope with it. And if it does, well that's what suicides are meant for.

Heck, I've been in crisis since before I could walk. But I always had hope of escaping back then. As long as you are young and healthy, there is no justification - in my mimd - to kill yourself. Not that that would have stopped me from trying.

Now I am old and spend and outta juice. And while you can always hope to get your wealth back, you can never regain your youth.

Now tell me, please, where did you come up with that name??

in your opinion. !. We can't know for sure what's going through someone's head, otherwise we might come.across as a little judgemental. You know there's alot of emotionally charged people on this forum and we're just trying to support each other in very difficult circumstances so please be kind to each other. It doesnt cost much❤...PEACE

Oh my god. Rick Sanchez is an asshole character from a cartoon show. I do not believe you should be on this forum if you're any less than perfectly lucid

 

[Chinaski]

Wait, so someone on this forum disagreed with another user, thus leading one user to believe the other party was his ex? Amazing scenes.

 

[Rational man]

But don't you agree that simple depression - w/o any rational base to it - shouldn't be viewed the same, as lethal disease or personal calamity?

Im not sure im qualified.to answer your question so maybe the good folk, probably more experienced than me, may chip in to help. By the way, i see what yo are saying but people can get complicated deep inside. What we say and what we don't say, how we feel doesnt always match up to the truth of the inner persona ..Sometimes, our stories cannot be told in the way they actually happened, i think.

Speaking for me, I do know that ive connected with some folk who able to share their profound feelings here with all of us to the extent that I realise now that choosing my exit on my terms, from this world is right for me. Sharing my hurt, my feelings, my abuse has simply compounded the decision I had made earlier. But maybe its helped someone here change direction in ways i couldn't have known.❤
