I no longer have a sense of dignity

I made a post yday that got deleted idk why but thought I’d try again bc it’s difficult talking to my loved ones about it but yeah I’m very down today. I don’t think people who aren’t sick understand what it’s like to be nauseous every moment of the day that ur awake I’m literally sleeping all day to avoid it aside from the fact that I’m tired. It’s so draining and annoying and so loud /:):. Having to sit down to cook in the kitchen and still weak and sweaty afterwards and on top of it all still barely being able to eat bc of the nausea this disease is so dehumanising

Anyway if there are any virtual support groups I can join lmk I’m feeling extremely alone despite having a solid support system

I just wanna die with dignity

Having cancer is so dehumanising and no one understands. I get that there’s no point in complaining about this shit because I can’t change my circumstances but honestly can’t this disease just kill me more respectfully without leaving me so fricking beat down and torn apart in the process

Starting to feel over it again

Yo everyone 25 year old here diagnosed with depression. I’ve had an extremely positive start to the year and generally I’ve been incredibly happy and stable. Before last week I was able to count the bad days I’d had since January on 1 hand which was huge because I’ve struggled with my mental health since 2016. I decided this year that I’d be as radically optimistic as possible and see what happened and it had incredibly positive results and I took a huge breath of relief. I didn’t expect it to last forever but damn I didn’t expect to be approaching rock bottom again so quickly. The frustrating thing is nothing in my external reality is different I just genuinely am so exhausted from the persistent health challenges I’m currently going through and have been going through for 4 years now. Also a really difficult anniversary is coming up for me. I wish unaliving myself wasn’t always the first solution I came up with when I start struggling but there’s a huge part of me that doesn’t believe I’m cut out for this life especially with all the bullshit constantly stacking on my plate. Don’t think I’ll act on it because I’ve come to genuinely appreciate being alive over the past few months and hopefully I can get back to that but I’m just extremely tired and alone rn.
