To say that my life has been a shit show would probably be an understatement at this point. A few years ago I got diagnosed with brain cancer. It was a long process and treatment was hell but after a lot of sacrifices I was finally cancer free, and when I say a lot I mean a lot. I lost my eyesight, so now I'm blind. (I use a screen-reader to get around online.) My legs are also paralysed now, so I'm wheelchair bound. I couldn't do anything that I used to love doing. When I was finally adapting and feeling less helpless, I was SAed, which kind of reinforced how vulnerable and powerless and pathetic I am and was awful in its own right. I still haven't recovered, I've made next to no progress in healing. I have flashbacks almost every day and I'm constantly feeling terrified and upset. And to put the icing on the cake, my cancer came back. It feels like surviving the first time was for nothing. I barely survived, I thought I was going to die, and I lost so much in the process but at least I was alive right? Nope. I don't know if I can even call this living anymore. It doesn't feel like it. I've been in treatment again for a few months, various types of chemo, radiation, etc. It's hell, it really is. I have no energy, I'm in pain, I can't walk, I can't see, I can barely move some days for a lack of energy and being so tired, and I'm probably going to die in less than a year anyhow. I keep wondering what it's all for. I just... I'm so fucking tired of it all. I don't know if I want to live out the rest of my life, I probably don't have much time left anyways and the time I do have left is going to be spent mostly bedridden, tired, depressed, terrified, and in pain, that is until my condition deteriorates more to the point that I'm barely concious, hallucinating, and barely myself anymore until I die. I don't see a point. Part of me still wants to spend the time I have left with my family and friends, and doesn't want to hurt them (Although this is a lesser point given I'm probably going to die from the cancer relatively soon anyways so it's a question of whether their hurt sooner or later) But still part of me wants to spend time with people while I can, and try to live out my remaining time as happily as I can, but a larger part of doesn't think I'll be anywhere approaching happy in these coming days, and just doesn't want to deal with things anymore. Anyways basically I'm conflicted and I don't know what to do. I don't think I really want to be here anymore. If anyone has any advice I could use it rn
