    I was hit by a drunk driver. Traumatic brain injury fueled coma. I woke up with a different personality, with no memory of the past year & with no sense of smell or taste. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

    Seizures. I had one back in 2018(?) and it ruined my memory even worse than it already was. (My experience I had was it felt like a sudden rush of blood to my head and I passed out after standing up too fast). Woke up feeling weird.

    Cancer. I don’t care who you are, it’s not a punishment. It’s a painful, horrific disease that breaks me when I know there are people out there that haven’t even started to enjoy life have it. Their families, the impact this has on communities.

    An eating disorder. It destroys you. It kills you mentally. It kills your friendships and relationships. Don’t even get me started on the effect it has on your body, I’ve been in full recovery for nearly two years now and still deal with some physical side effects. I still have the thoughts

    Getting cheated on. It messes with your head so much afterwards and can impact your self esteem for a long time after the relationship ends. And it seems so common these days which is really sad

    When I was 17, I was a victim of a violent crime. In which my best friend was murdered as we were getting out of his car.My friend was shot in the throat by a man who was intoxicated and shooting into a crowd.
    Two other people were shot and physically recovered .
    I was not hit. It devastated my life for many years. Survivor’s guilt is a real thing.
    I wouldn’t wish anyone to go through all of it.

    I’m much better than I used to be.
    I still have ptsd issues in crowds . I’m very happily married, but I have never been able to establish any other friendships.
    This all happened in 1980.
    I’m now 62 years old.

    Everyone’s already done all the big ones, so I’ll just answer with what happened to me earlier today:

    Falling off your bike onto gravel down a steep hill while trying to avoid running into someone’s dog that they didn’t have on a leash.

    I’m in so much pain. Thank fuck for helmets.

    One parent with multi infarct dementia, the other with Alzheimers, at the same time. Can I add, in a state with laws that make it difficult to help them, because it’s not illegal to be crazy. I understand not wanting kids to steal their parent’s estates when they’re not incapacitated, but my parents WERE a danger to themselves or others.

    Getting to the point of having suicidal thoughts where all your brain thinks about is killing yourself.

    Or, feeling like you lost everything in life.

    I feel so bad every second I’d never want anyone else to have to experience this.

    Any chronic illness. Regardless of severity, the disease will never go away. Every day until death the disease is still there.

    The loss of a pregnancy.

    No, make that three in a row

    No one can tell you why

    Then you lose a baby at 24 weeks

    And you have to induce labor.

    Then some states would refuse to save you, or even prosecute you for it.

    That.

    Whilst it doesn’t compare to some of the things mentioned here, having a close relationship with a raging narcissist who turns people against you and makes you question your own sanity is pretty awful and takes a long time to recover from. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

    I have severe OCD (and no not in the germaphone/cleaning way). It impacts the way I perceive and interact with everyone and everything. I don’t have a single moment without it having its hands on me, despite therapy and numerous medications. It’s incredibly disorienting and scary when I’m in full episodes. The paranoia accompanied by obsessions it is not a mindset I wish on anyone, though I do wish it was far more understood.

    Drug addiction, specifically heroin. I’ve withdrawn, cold turkey, in county jail, on more than one occasion, & if hell really does exist (and I believe it does), that’s it.
    Withdrawing from heroin cold turkey in jail. For eternity.

    But it’s not just the withdrawing. It’s having family members who don’t suffer from addiction, & who don’t understand. They don’t understand why we just don’t stop. If we really loved them, we’d just stop.

    I recently celebrated 7 years of continuous & honest sobriety, and my family was so fucking proud. I relapsed 6 months later. Being on the receiving end of that disappointment is inexplicable. I punish myself for it every day.

    Not the loss specifically, but the knowledge that your pet will die soon. Some people might brush it aside cause it wasn’t related to you, or it was just an animal, but when your old dog has been apart of your life for 13 years, it hurts to know you probably don’t have a lot of time left.

    Watching someone you love slowly become a stranger because of mental illness or addiction. They’re still there physically, but it’s like their soul is slipping away and there’s nothing you can do to stop it’s it breaks you in a way that’s hard to explain.
