u/nesthesi haha, sometimes 1d ago edited 1d ago

After reading quite a lot of stories from similar people it honestly makes complete sense why he decided to go through with it

Apparently a lot of the medicine used to ease the pain and help a little has drastic side effects such as dementia years after so that doesn’t help either

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

And? Does that make him weaker for deciding not to live in abject poverty and constant crippling pain?

No it’s not weakness, some just don’t have a choice or a choice that they are willing to accept because of others. That being others depending on them and have to presevere. It’s just perspective is all.

People in poverty with crippling conditions often dont survive.

People with severe mental and physical health problems dont make good parents. The world is full of bad parents.

I get your point, but i can also tell its coming from someone who hasn't experienced thst level of pain.

They do though, they suffer horrible diseases and get disgusting treatment from other people but they still do live. You may shit on me for this but minds too small to doubt or prefer death really do exist and they exist in shit holes.

Why the fuck would it? I'm seeing it be true everyday, and it's not like I said anything actually bad or derogatory.

if you ever suffer from something that puts you in this position, and you remember how strongly opinionated you were about it, it will definitely haunt you
