I think many people feel that because of how far mental health has gone (it really hasn't) that all traumas can be healed. But I do not believe that. Like take cancer. Theres a point where doctors have to admit that a patient will likely die no matter what they do. No medicine works, nothing works. If we can say that about physical health it should be the same for mental health.
Thats a beautiful thought. We could all escape from this shitty world and finally be free
Such ignorance. How many of us would have rather gone without food for a few nights or slept outside than go through the other things we went through?
Wow. I too was deformed/mutilated by doctors with my mother's permission when I was a baby. I wasn't going to mention it here, but since you did I thought I should as well. Where I'm from it's actually legal and common and this trauma has also caused me constant discomfort my entire life. Sorry to hear about your face. From what I've seen online, Belgium has good laws when it comes to assisted dying. Are you in the process of getting an assisted death?
I can't say that I haven't thought about this myself in anger, but it would be more satisfactory if I could die knowing she is still around to see her only child die with no heirs, thus ending her family line forever (other than nephews and nieces).
Irreversible maybe not but most of them can be helped or could still have good lives afterwards. My brothers and sisters didn't 3nd up deformed like me and they are doing just fine right now. But in extreme cases like mine its just a whole different kind of thing. Its not like deformed in a sense of only a small deformity its an extreme deformity. If it wasnt for that i would be truly happy even with all the beatings i got in the past
Please tell me if this is offensive as I think it is. I was neglected and sexually abused as a child and adult but not physically abused (aside from getting punished with a belt or wooden spoon which, in the 70s, wasn't considered abuse). I have pathetic abandonment issues and emotionally I'm pretty messed up.
Ofcourse it doesnt offend me. There was a point in life where is
Ofcourse im not offended by that. Mental pain is so much worse then physical pain and i understand where youre comming from. When i was younger i was some months really suicidal because of a breakup and being homeless. But when i grew older and really learned about my deformity and how its not fixable really made those problems from when i was younger look fairly small in comparison. If i could switch back to those problems i would be truly happy even without a roof or a girlfriend. So im not downplaying anyones feelings because a lot of it i understand. But i could still try and fight those feelings at that moment. I managed to get a job and a new girlfriend etc. But the deformity became worse with age and i cant do anything about it. Its totally out of my control and thats what makes it so bad. Most people can hide there emotions or still have that sprinkle of hope left. A deformity is just not hideable wich makes it hard. I feel ashamed just going outside. And while im not prolife i really think there is some hope for some people in here and i really think some should reconsider suicide. It makes me sad thinking the good ones are killing themselves and the bad ones are here to stay
