"Healing so well & totally loving it!"

I try not to come off like an edgy, un-empathetic douchebag. I believe in promoting access to psychiatric care and all that.

But i dunno. My empathy has a certain threshold. When you clearly have chosen.. any number of choices, over your self preservation, I just can't get behind you and wish you well.

I see you as a harm to yourself, potentially a harm to your friends and family - if not an embarasment to them and someone who drags them down. Someone not concerned with being able to provide for themselves, who has abandoned their physical health.. or continues actions that further degrade their mental health.

I've done my share of drugs. And a couple other people's share too. I'm like every other human - i have my issues. My father beat me. I was bullied in high school, Girl's broke my heart. Boo hoo.

But I knew better than to make drugs a habit. I knew better than to indulge when i was down at life. I was always cautious. Where did they come from? Has anyone tested to see if it's cut? Is it ok to mix A with B? And if those questions ever made me uncomfortable . i didn't do it. TO the point that often "drug friends" often saw me as a drag,.

I work in an urban area.. and i see the drug addicts littering the sidewalks begging for change. And i can't help but look at them and think "you saw this coming".

And it's not addictions and psych disorders. It's people who do extreme body mods and then dare other people to judge them (and get mad when they do the inevitable).

I think it about people who are cutters well beyond the turbulent years of teen adolescence.

People like this will always be a drain on everyone else. They will always be a problem for other people to fix. And the "fix" will always be a life time of maintenance, them falling off the wagon and getting back on. Round and round and round.

They're inherently, and extremely broken.

At some point... you just take the car to the salvage yard and you stop even pretending you can keep up with the repairs.

I know this opinion isn't exactly solution oriented. But i don't think there's a solution. I think there's getting sucked into their vortex of chaos and nothing more.

If you don't value life enough to try to survive and stand on your own...i start to get a little boot strappy.
