I personally cringe when I hear a friend js having a kid. All I can think of is how bad theyre going to have it. Hell id definitely have been better off being born 20 years earlier, but these new kids are REALLY screwed unless they have super rich parents.

“Nothing new under the sun” I suppose!

    I didn’t say anything about deserve, I don’t really understand why you have it in quotes.

    I thought it was pretty clearly implied the problem was a mental health issue. I’m not a psychiatrist so I’m not qualified to say what the particular mental health issue is any more than I would be able to qualify or runny nose as a cold or allergies or a flu. I just know a symptom when I see it.

    A person that wants to determine what species do and do not “deserve” to exist is outside of my pay grade, but clearly unwell.

        Genuinely, there have been many people in my life who have needed help along the way. There’s no shame in this. Depression will tell you not to fix your depression.

        You can be living a totally “normal” life while on the cusp of crisis and not realize it. There is no harm in talking to someone about these feelings. I implore you.

        With that, you can call me whatever names you want, or talk about how weird or bad or whatever I am… I’m going to bow out here.
