That was my thought. I don't know where I would be without the faith my team has in me recovering. Without them cheerleading me to give life a chance despite the length/duration/severity of my illness, who knows where I would be.

As a patient, when I am underweight, I talk endlessly and seriously about wanting to die. Those feelings are very real when in the depths of my illness, and i feel i do have capacity at these times. This coversation was very thoughtful, but I do fear such discussions about palliative care and EDs.

Significant conflict of interest.
Vile propaganda

Even having a window in my bedroom door that anyone can look through was enough to trigger my ptsd, we need to be treated with dignity, not constant observations and restrictions. It instils a sense of fear that makes me more dependent on maladaptive behaviours

I am in favour of assisted dying but im extremely wary until society accepts, appreciates and supports the sick & disabled to live. I don’t trust a society who forever calls us a burden or scroungers to make decisions in our best interests. The article was genius

I saw this art and I really don't think people understand how much disabled people like me are framed as "burdens" as it is - maybe it would be better for everyone if we were to end our suffering. It saves our families money & time caring for us. The taxpayer money.
So, as seen in Canada...

I'm so sorry to hear that's your experience. Try not to give up hope. We're all fighting for more rights and greater understanding of these problems. I hope things look up for you, and one day, we can abolish the stigma that cripples us

I wonder if it's because of the emphasis on the 'working' class. As often people with disabilities can not fully participate in the workplace, we are often ignored as some kind of underclass because we don't neatly fit in within an ideology built around working people? Just a thought

I completely agree. It's hard to see they're using the same derogatory language that's been used for decades now

The fact that the coversation about disabled people and the welfare state was followed by the assisted dying bill debate felt so black mirror
