I’m already sick and tired of life. Have been for so long. My mum had a massive stroke a bit after Christmas. I was hoping she could get rehabilitated but it seems more likely she will just stay bedbound. Being bedbound isn’t any kind of life. If I ever ended up bedbound you can just euthanize me, thanks.
My mum barely knows English. To try and keep this post at least a little anonymous, I will just leave her language skills at this. I’m trying to find an interpreter for her rare language and the hospital is too. It’s unlikely they’ll find such.
My mums personality has changed too and seems confused I’m not sure how someone like this can be rehabilitated anyway but I try to hope that she can
But, onto something else. Bills don’t stop just because someone went to hospital. Bills never stop. Expenses never stop.
I don’t really want to be another person living on a poverty payment (welfare) and also being belittled and bullied and made to do all of these things for a little payment which isn’t enough to live off of.
My neighbour might be able to help me out a bit though, navigating this web…
It will be far too hard for me alone because I’m so socially awkward and pathetic.
I’ve actually been poor for a couple of years now, used to live with my mum before the stroke. She is poor too.
But I’ve been poor for other various years too…
I feel for everyone who is poor and struggling. and anyone who is struggling and isn’t obscenely rich (sorry, I hate you)
I don’t want anything in my life. A cute guy would be nice but… I don’t like life anyway. You just do all of this s____ and then you die in the end. And I don’t get along with people anyway.
I’ll try and plan my death for the next few months unless I decide that I want to live instead.
2. my mum doesn’t deserve to be bedbound for the rest of her life that’s just endless suffering too if she can’t be rehabilitated what’s the point of existing????

“Bills don’t stop just because someone went to hospital. Bills never stop.”
I just wanted to say I know exactly what you mean by that. Funny, if you collapsed in the middle of the street, the collection agencies probably wouldn’t search your pockets for money in broad daylight. But that’s exactly what happens when you’re in the hospital.
I hope you can figure a way out of this. It’s a terrible situation.
My mother had a ‘mini-stroke’ about two years ago…at the time she had trouble with numbers and had memory loss. Fortunately she improved but still has issues with remembering the names of certain things but her math skills are better.
I agree with you-I think euthanasia should be available for all. Perhaps you can talk to your mother and she can sign a declaration that she has voluntarily chosen to be euthanized. Though I don’t know how accessible it is where you are…here in Canada, it’s readily available for the elderly, terminally ill and others.
It’s a lot better than being in bed, waiting for a slow death-plus tbh I’ve heard horror stories about how invalids and the elderly are treated in nursing homes, I wouldn’t want to put my mother in such a situation.
I care about her and would like her to be around as long as she’s able to look after herself, but we all reach an endpoint of a useful life. I discussed euthanasia with her, but she’s against it because of religion-she’s a Christian and they don’t believe in suicide.
Chances are she could get another stroke and pass away…it’ll likely be painless since it happened in her sleep, she didn’t even know she had one and didn’t really accept it.
As for being poor I fully agree with you. For one to work it requires good mental and physical health and drive. Ofc based on the economy, or work situation, one can also lose their job and then life is really tough because like you said the bills never end.
I’d suggest if you’re not working and have no way to cover your bills (or are piling up credit card debt), you’re better off going on welfare for now. They have their rules but as long as you’re looking for work then they will help you out.
At the same time though I can totally relate. Life is shi.t without money, one can get a job, but if it’s not high paying, then one is just meeting one’s needs but not really getting ahead, then you’re just scraping by.
In my case I do have some family I can rely on, until I can get a well paying position. So I might keep going on for as long as I can…but like you, I also see the other side and if it doesn’t improve, there’s no reason to keep struggling and I may opt for euthanasia or come up with my own method if I’m not approved.
The best is really behind me (in my life), esp when it comes to dating. In fact that’s what I was thinking about before I came here. I had some great chances with some amazing girls and I let all that slip through my fingers, opportunities I’ll probably never get again, unless I got rich perhaps. It also made me pretty picky, so that’s a good path to loneliness.
Also with this economy a lot of other people are struggling too…a family member has a business, and it was doing great at one time but now they’re barely able to keep going….they’re thinking about getting regular jobs, which is a major change for them.
Plus in Canada the gov’t is planning to bring in more immigrants that we don’t need, which may worsen prices for housing, food, drive wages down and so forth, totally stupid idea…but that’s what happens when you have retarded politicians running the country.
It is possible to have a better system, to help people that are struggling like us…but the trouble is that the govt has been co-opted to serve the rich, rather than ordinary people. Anyways, best of luck whatever you decide.
