I have treatment resistant depression and was put on ketamine treatments, which really helped for a while, but I lost my health insurance. I decided to stay off of it, but my depression got so bad that one day I decided to get some illegally. I recently moved back in with my parents, and I was intending not to do drugs in their house, but somehow I made a mistake of doing ketamine in their house. Apparently, while I was dissociated, I was making some noise and my father came in apparently to calm me down or see if I was OK. He said I was standing there, not saying anything and not looking at him and then I suddenly fell face first into the floor, smashing the teeth out out of my head. The first thing I remember when I regained consciousness was him saying “You stupid boy, look what you’ve done.” he drove me to the emergency room in the middle of the night and told me that he was very upset that he was having to do this, and I feel very bad that I disrupted his sleep. The emergency room told me that I was very lucky not to have severed my spinal cord with the force of the fall. I had a concussion, but no serious traumatic brain injury. The dental work to fix my face will be about $25,000 and my father has made it clear to me that this incident was entirely my fault and he will not help me in anyway, although he does have quite a lot of money. Today he called me a lot of really mean names like bitch bastard and asshole. There was a lot more he said to me just about my character and what he thinks of me as a person and it was all very hurtful, but I think I believe him. I must confess I have had great anger toward him in my heart. I’ve had some very dark thoughts. However, I have decided to give up the fight and endure. I don’t need teeth, I don’t need the love of my father, and I don’t need drugs because I don’t need to feel good or even okay. Depression is fine. Toothlessness is fine. This is all fine. Thanks for hearing my story.

Thank you for sharing your story. Life is hard out here sometimes. Don’t beat yourself up (no pun intended) you’re just doing your best! I am sorry that happened!
It is indeed a comfort that we all die sooner or later. Nothing really matters, the moment every person is born they are condemned to die and sooner or later no one will care or remember or even know you ever existed.
I’m sorry. My dad is a dick too. It’s a shame that he would shit on you when you’re very obviously going thru a terrible time. Some parents just lack empathy. They might care but without compassion or empathy it feels like pure brutality. I hope things get better for you.
Thank you for sharing. I just want to say I’m sorry you had to go through that, but I hope you never stop trying to be happy friend. Cause you deserve that. Keep trotting and eventually the work that you put into yourself, won’t betray you. Coming from someone who never thought they could be happy but is finally learning how to after being depressed for most of my 26yrs of life on this planet. There’s always hope while you still have the will to seize your own life with your own 2 hands, wishing yah the best!
