Venting "It will kill itself if it can't fix itself."

[sad_dude]

Just reading and studying about cells while being stuck in this reality, and I realized that I kinda relate to the "cells that can't divide." Textbooks/sites say that, when a cell can't divide due to not being able to "fix itself", it commits suicide, or goes through a process of "apoptosis."

I couldn't fix myself either. I guess this is how I ended up in this situation hahah.

I remember learning about that a few years ago and thinking how awful and cruel that seemed. But obviously I rationalized that cells don't have feelings lol. I never thought about the connection until I saw your post, but it's actually kind of funny, in a dark ironic sense. I mean, that's kind of what happens. Whether it's mentally/ emotionally or physically, people ctb when they can't fix themselves/ their situation. I never would have thought about it that way, so thanks for sharing. I'm sorry that you're at this point, and I'm sorry that you're going through this. I hope things can get better. Best wishes, bb
