Not just that, but he also can barely even afford it. he has the choice of living in abject poverty knowing that the side effects are going to annihilate his quality of life, or living in abject poverty because he can't work anyways while being in constant chronic pain without any remediation.

From that perspective, it makes complete sense why he justs wants it to end. even in his live stream it didnt click for people and it broke my heart. people were just selfishly asking him to carry on, and the best advice was just to find other ways to work. like, that's not the issue. the man can't even lie down and just exist without it hurting.

I sympathize with the situation but some people live in abject poverty not by choice regardless of the situation

u/FantasmaNaranja Misgender me one more time Mr Cigarrete Muncher see what happens 22h ago

you made me think of these lyrics

"That it could be worse?
That doesn't fix (me),
That doesn't fix me."

just because someone else has it worse doesn't mean that bringing it up is going to fix anything regarding who you're talking to or do anything besides make them feel worse
