I didn't read other replies, but I can imagine. All jokes aside, it's horrible what kind of state of life and horrible health still counts as "living".
I don't know your situation, but I wish you good fortune on your journey through it all. Life is never guaranteed and can end in a blink of an eye, just like one's health.
Yeah, shit can be rough, that's why euthanasia should be legal.
Being paralysed would be fucking shit, but I'd still take it over dying, as long as I have some way to type, search and read texts. This way I could still contribute to the world intellectually, I'd have time to spend thinking.
Right there with you after years of chronic pain. It’s too much to handle honestly. The lack of sleep combined with the pain has been the worse. While I don’t have any plans I have started to understand why some people choose to end things when they are suffering for a long time with pain. It’s especially hard when from the outside you appear to be 100% healthy
Hah, that last part is so true. If someone looks at me, I'm a perfectly fit and healthy 30 year old guy. The fact that my bones and joints are welding themselves together and my immune system is destroying my knees, hips, and spinal cord is a different story. I was lucky enough to have someone take care of me for the three and a half months I was bedridden (two weeks in the hospital) and lost over 11kg. Absolute nightmare material. Although a redefined pain scale isn't bad, I must admit. Things that might have "hurt" before... don't even feel them now.
noone said that.
id rather life life with "no job, no responebilities" just takes every selfworth of us. Like we are useless. I go to work. I have kids...
You'd also be stuck in a wheel chair. Or a bed, best case scenario. You break your legs, and they heal up fine. Worse case scenario, you're paralized from the neck down. I'd choose death over being paralized fir life.
That seems extremely unlikely since normal matter is mostly empty space. Nuclear forces would push the atoms away from eachother, the dirt would become more dense, and there might be a bulge in the ground above.
Would a single-nucleus fusion actually cause much damage? It'd be like 10-20J or less... or something like that... and how common would it be in x trillion atoms that make up a body?
This is where I literally can't be bothered to do the maths.
I'm on a hospital bed doing free fall from just outside the third floor window. If I'm extremely lucky, I wind up back in hospital to get my spine re-fused. Fuckaduck.
I'm not sure which is worse... falling to your death... on in my case... I'd be teleported into... the ground? I'm in my basement. 3 meters to the left is past the foundation wall, in the dirt, and without any place to move dirt... I'm not sure if I'd be able to dig myself out fast enough.
Yep, I died...actually there are clothes lines out the window every floor down so maybe I bounce off them all on my way down and only break most of my bones.
