dementia runs in the family and it genuinely terrifies me. i can’t handle the thought of my mother forgetting who i am i couldn’t handle it at all and if i end up with it i don’t want others to experience that

I’ve talked with my mom about this before and she told me if this happens to her, she wants to go to Switzerland or somewhere where voluntary euthanasia is legal and just go peacefully

Me too OP, I watched my grandmother (and all of her siblings) suffer and die from it. There’s no way I’d put my family through all that if it happened to me
