When should one stop trying⁉️
When things are not ever going to really get better but one is still alive but death is always on their mind and the sense of impending doom is not emotional but pure logic of knowing time will run rapidly by and no matter how much one heals they will eventually disintegrate physically and even mentally lose themselves more each day and suffer pain and paralyzing immobility and the chances of being in a wonderful future and feeling great is just not ever going to happen.
My grandfather once told me that one can live too long.
Was he right⁉️
Yes they seem to be curing my cancers but at great injury to other aspects of my life and body.
There has not been a day in over 4 years that the thought and sense of dying has not gripped my mind for at least a few hours or more each day and night and in the past two years death thoughts have been plaguing my mind and the stress on my body and mind hours and even up to entire days and nights.
I cannot even have sexual intercourse. All my parts for doing so are no longer. Yes cancer took it all away and surgery finished the process. There is no fixing that.
My body hurts to be touched due to neuralogias
so that even the gentlest hug or lightest touch and even the pressure of my clothing or any furniture causes pain. Often nigh unto unbearable pain. Heavy pain meds do not help usually. I miss simple human touch. I miss walking. I miss my eyesight. I hate being super impoverished. I hate not being able to bathe and shower and needing help to dress myself and more.
Today is Thanksgiving Day and except for a few things to still be thankful for there are thousands of things to not be thankful for and countless things and abilities forever lost to me.
No I am not going to go all suicidal.
I just hate not knowing how much more time I have and if it will continue to keep getting worse and then I die nevertheless no matter what I do or do not do.

I wish I were younger again like 50 would be wonderful and not so physically wrecked and impoverished.

On that note am utterly exhausted even though mostly bed bound.
Sleep is even painful and nothing can help with that.
I doubt anyone here can help so just hear me and wish me some good luck.
There really is no advice that would help me.
Just have to keep on keeping on every moment and see what happens next.

Love and blessings to you all and value your health and the good things in your life.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

PS.
Hoping that when these new chemotherapy
gene therapy intrveinous infusions are finished in May 2024 that my body and life might get better.
I shall wait and see and not give up just yet.
Just so damn exhausted mentally and physically.
This quote is a great comfort to me and has gotten me through many a suicidal time past.

The thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets through many a dark night.”
― Nietzsche

Pardon any strange autocorrects and typos please.

I may feel weird about posting this in the future.

I am still holding on with the help of the words of Nietzsche
Thank you Mr.
Nietzsche💙😎

Additionally please
no prayers or religion stuff
I am not interested and have been there done that and absolutely do not want that.
In fact I consider prayers useless and even potentially dangerous.
Thank you all.

dear teasel you have and still do help as you are one of only a few who has never given up on me or been unkind❤️
I have only two Lindaland people in my friends list and you are one and I appreciate you❤️

Knowing that you truly care does help😎❤️
So many people claim to care but sooner than later they stop communicating with me👽
I'd rather that they never were nice when they tire of me and go away.👽👽👽
Better to not experience kindness only to discover it may have been mostly lip service
or politically correct nicely nice but had no real depth.
So I wonder if they were really caring or not👽👽👽
Or just do not want to deal with me during my darker times.
I have begun to not trust most people or count on most people especially since the cancer battle began.
People are just too busy to truly care it seems.
I have been a real downer with my many ills so should not be surprised that folks rather avoid me.
That is okay and I am glad they have lives.and I hope they appreciate these lives.
Drives me crazy when people complain about things being horrible in their lives when seriously they should be counting their blessings.

So thank you teasel
even though we do not talk but rarely
you have always been there for nigh onto
19 years to date😎❤️

Thank you muchly Randall ❤️
If things keep getting better in the cancer fight despite bad side effects I will have to recover from, and the cancer actually in 6 months more or so does get cured and or go into a very long remission that sure would help to elevate my psychological state of being😎❤️
I keep telling myself that all things may indeed get better for me and my spouse in all things in our lives come the new year 2024😎❤️😎❤️😎❤️

So I am indeed holding on as hard as possible.

These little reminders from you to keep upbeat and look forward to better times to be coming my way in the future and now in 2024 do help me hold on❤️😎

If you hang on just a little longer, everything will be fine. After all you have been through, what is a few more months? Stay positive!

I agree❤️
I should know come May 2024 if I am cancer free and if other things will heal too😎👍
My latest full body cat scans came back okay😎
My blood labs not so good.👽😭
Unexplained very bad anemia and low sodium and there are other factors which need figured out so need more tests make sure I do not have bone or blood or other cancers or some inability to absorb certain vitamins and minerals.
Also why I have been unable to walk for about 14 months to date👽😭
Trouble eating too because my throat is malfunctioning due to severe neurological issues👽😭
Just taking it all one day at a time for the time being.😎👍

Just so exhausted and sick not only because of my mostly bed bound days but worried about my husband and other issues👽😭.

I definitely am not giving up just yet 😎👍

Simply having a very difficult time with my issues and also with my husband sicker than me in ways due to the rare liver disease that is hereditary, and has no cure👽😭 things are beyond hard around here😭😭😭

Doing our best to hold on👍😎💙
