Worked several jobs, including in a nursing home. Got thyroid cancer and the treatment caused me to have a stroke and many other health issues. Thanks to the stroke I’m now partially sighted, can’t walk properly and can no longer work. Also have chronic foot infections and migraines. NHS treatment is so awful it has made my health worse rather than better. My local pharmacist tells me I’m a drain on the NHS because my medications cost so much. Got awarded disability benefits until 2028, but still waiting for the backpay and payments to start. Absolutely penniless and in debt.

  • I think being human would be better if we still lived a wild life. There’s an Australian film called Walkabout, about two schoolchildren in the 1970s who get lost in the outback and found by an aborigine, and he takes care of them and they all end up living a wild natural life together for a while, and it looked so lovely. If we just lived in tribes, searched for food and slept it wouldn’t be so bad. It’s all the bureaucracy and the alarm clocks waking you up at the crack of dawn and the stress of working some unnatural job for minimum wage in an expensive society, and severely sick people being pressured into artificially extending their lifespan with meds with horrible side effects so their suffering lasts longer than it would naturally, and the pollution and noise and the endless bombardment of bad news like wars, and disabled people threatened with destitution for being unable to work, and adults at work and children at school all day long so families only see each other briefly each day and constant rising prices for everything, that make life so unbearable.













  • What country are you in? I have quite a bit of experience with accessing free emergency dental treatment, most countries have this for poor people, maybe someone here knows how to help you access this.

    For instance if you’re in the UK you phone 111 and they’ll make you a free appointment at the stability clinic.

    If you’re in the USA, according to google, if you’re under the federal poverty level you qualify for free dental with medicaid. Google pulled this up for the USA:
