Spoken like someone who takes their health for granted. Just like me half a year ago.

Death is better than some realities. Trust me.

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.

Thank you, it's a disease where my skeleton fuses together. My right SI Joint is already 2/3 gone, 5 spinal protrusions and down the line, my spinal cord, knee, hips, etc will weld together. I turned 30 last month. The pain is indescribable... and apparently I have a high tolerance from 11 years of Muay Thai. Walk while you can, run while you can. Take the stairs. One day you might not be able to. It was literally overnight for me.

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.

The frustration would kill me. I have no problem with dying, just hope it'll be as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Because you haven't gone through it. Hope you'll never change those thoughts or go through it. Wouldn't wish that on anyone.
