I'm Venting Here And Not Looking For Sympathy.

So yeah I get it I have this terminal disease and its progressive and I end up suffocating.

I have had major anxiety problems my entire life and I don't know what to do with the time left.

Marty, I never wanted to live that long. I don’t think I can afford it. 😂

Thanks for your suggestions. I keep busy doing things I love (reading, movies and theater on streaming services).

Sadly I can't discuss the following with friends or family because they are in denial:

I've seen first hand how mean everyone can get after someone passed so I have spend a great deal of time and money to making sure my estate is in order and hired a medical advocate to insure my wishes are followed. I know I'm a glass half empty kind of guy but I've seen first hand how senior affairs are mishandled and are abused during end of life decisions.

Thanks for letting me vent...tom

I have gone back to school, online. It helps fill the days.

Funny, no one really even touched base on what you said. I get you, your not lying. Makes you look at things from a whole new perspective.

Thanks for the hugs. I try to take life one day at a time. Otherwise it could be overwhelming. 😀
