Yeah I do feel that too.
Partially sighted stroke and cancer patient, learning to walk again, going through months of foot surgeries. Fighting a disability benefit appeal. I won my last appeal just 2 years ago and am now going through yet another one. All I want is peaceful, painless assisted suicide.


Yeah I do feel that too.


Maybe it’s becaue the world just keeps getting worse, people look back and remember when things were better.


Maybe. I’m quite a nostalgic person too, I really appreciate nostalgia so maybe that’s why.


I just feel so bad for wasting opportunities. Now I’d love to see those bands but some are dead or broken up and I’m too sick, poor and disabled to go anyway.


Well, technically we do have the death penalty in the UK for the crime of being poor. People die of starvation and suicide when their benefits are stopped, and homeless people die of exposure out on the streets.


We’ve tried several and they aren’t doing anything. It’s a drain with the hole on the side, it’s hard to tip liquids into it.


I got permanently banned from reddit for calling someone a child molester because he said he likes to f underage kids because they’re so much hotter than adults. He did not get banned for saying that.


One of the things I hate so much about redditors is no matter what the issue, their answer is always “GEt tHEraPy.” And if you don’t then your issues are your own fault. No thought at all that some people can’t afford therapy, or live in a country where they get really shitty therapy from the state or in a country where they just have literally no access to it at all. Just this belief that everyone can access great therapy that’s always guaranteed to work. And that all problems can be solved by therapy. I mean, if you’re dying of cancer or starving to death in the street that can be solved by therapy, right?


OK thanks for this suggestion. We tried this and although we couldn’t find the bottle cap, this did pull out so much other gunk that the problem has improved, at least enough to actually use the shower.

Thanks for the bump


It’s a bottle cap an also with me and my landlady both being disabled it’s hard to do things that involve bending or squatting down. I think it’s gone quite far down too.


It was a bottle cap

Thanks for the bump.


What country are you in? Do you have any organisations like stepchange who could give advice, or potentially ask for some of the debt to be written off?


Yeah i got zero points at my last assessment, despite being a partially sighted cancer and stroke patient with major mobility problems and chronic, severe migraines. If it wasn’t for mutual aid here I would have starved to death by now.


From my point of view as a disabled person, they are worse than nazis. At least the nazis admiited that they wanted to exterminate disabled people and often just gassed them to death quickly. The UK now gaslights the disabled, telling us we aren’t really disabled and there is “some work” we can do, stops our benefits leaving us to starve to death slowly, and blames those who die of this, saying “thERe iS sO MUch HeLP oUt THerE, You sHOuLD hAVe TrieD HarDer To AcCEss IT.” They want us dead and out of the way but are too cowardly to come right out and admit it. I’d rather be quickly killed than this long slow torture.

Thanks for the bump!


They even have the tags on £3 blocks of cheese, the cheapest cuts of meat, the really cheap butter and even £1 bars of chocolate.
I constantly see sicko redditors saying that if the victim has gone through puberty already then you’re not a paedophile, you’re a hebophile. OH THAT’S OK THEN!?!
