Again I know how selfish this is and I hate myself for feeling it I just don’t want to have to rely on medication and surgeries to stay stable for the rest of my life and I’ll only regress as time goes on I wish I could let natural selection do its thing
Anyone else struggle with the idea of struggling for the rest of your life? It makes me feel so selfish bc I know people would give anything to live a full life but I just don’t want to spend my life in a doctors office like I have the past 8 years.

you arent selfish for thinking like this :( clearly youre just hurting. my mom has chronic illness and she always tells me she would feel so relieved to just die because shes living with so much pain. its hard for us as your loved ones but i imagine its much harder to be the one whos dealing with this. dont hate yourself for feeling this way, you are so strong

It’s a hard feeling to have. I know my illnesses have absolutely changed my family, especially my parents. I hate that as well, I hate how much it affects them. My mom barely sleeps yk? I’m sorry your mom is struggling as well, I can’t imagine how hard that is to see.
