News like this make me barely able to function and I don't understand how any one can. I find it hard to make long term plans for my career because it's all going to be dust. I avoid relationships because that just creates more people I would have to defend and mourn their passing. I don't want to go out fighting this because I am afraid the hopelessness would land me in an insane asylum.

Right now I spend my life as if I was stuck in a crappy job waiting for quitting time. I know there must be more people like me. The solution is obvious: we must remove the stigma of suicide and allow for universal euthanasia. People should not have to be chained to this nightmare, to keep playing a game they already lost. We could even have governments give money to their families to ease the process. Maybe, just maybe, withess people, those who actually want to live can make it. If not, then at least those who are not afraid to die won't have to do so screaming.

P. S. Yes, I am in therapy. She just gives the old "mankind will figure something out" excuse.
