That would be great as long as I don’t get poisoned, shot, cut and drowned.

honestly wouldn’t say no.

I also think it’s because I get barely any real sleep now. I used to sleep well but now because of side effects from the meds plus bladder issues I struggle to drift off at all and when I finally do I have to keep waking up to go to the toilet. There’s just no opportunity to dream usually. It’s a shame because I used to love my vivid dreams and even kept a dream diary.

That’s quite funny.

maybe, a family and a secure home and financial security, and some social status instead of being bottom of the pile in society.

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:

Thanks for the bump!

I don’t think so. I don’t really have contact with whatever is left of my family, most are dead, others live hundreds of miles away and none of them bother with me. I wonder if it’s because it’s the opposite of my actual life. In real life I’m penniless, alone and have no control over anything, not even my own life. Total opposite of a rich, powerful royal surrounded by family.

It really is one of the best films I’ve ever seen.

Thank you. Your dad could try cognitive rehabilitation therapy if that’s something accessible to him. I haven’t tried it personally (shitty NHS) but I’ve heard it can help. Physical activity, fresh air and a diet rich in fruit, veg and omega 3 (there’s a good omega 3 supplement called Testa) could help. Even simply helping him walk a short distance outside would be something.

I’ve been having cancer treatment for years and honestly if I’d known it would be this bad I would have just chosen death.

Well being overweight has a lot of health concerns.

Cancer treatment does so much damage but patients are expected to just be grateful and not complain. It sucks so hard.

Same mentality of “Why did you have kids if you can’t afford them,” when average people just want a family of their own, like it’s unreasonable and a family should be a privilege only afforded to the wealthy.

Than you. Yes, it’s crazy to me that people don’t realise that disability is the only marginalised group that anyone can become a part of at any time. I’ve actually done a lot of thinking about this and I’ve come to the conclusion that people must convince themselves that this could never happen to them- they work hard, they save money, they eat right to take care of their health, etc. So if you become poor through disability, you must have done something to cause it. You didn’t take care of your health which is how you became disabled, and prior to that you either didn’t work or didn’t save/invest wisely so that’s why you’re poor. They simply can’t admit that anyone can become disabled at any time through no fault of their own because it’s scary to them, and they can’t admit that you can run through all your savings quickly when times are hard, or you can lose your investments or whatever through no fault of your own. They’d also have to admit that much of their success is due to circumstances they had nothing to do with - being born into a middle class family in a wealthy country, being blessed with good health and an able body so they can work, etc. People don’t want to admit their circumstances were given to them and they can lose it all at any moment. So they have to blame the poor and disabled and make our circumstances into a character fault, then they can also say we don’t deserve government support or any other help.
