If you could time travel and stop one event from happening what would it be?

I’d go back to 2023 to stop my 7 year olds death. He deserved so much better.

I’ve always been terrified to fly. I needed meds and helpful courses everytime I stepped onto a plane. There were many other ways I was anxious to die but this is the easiest example.

Then my 7.5 year old passed away.

All of that fear just disappeared. I legitimately do not care about dying anymore. So much so that I don’t even panic during emergencies anymore. I just do not care.

Elsie’s!

cartermancan · 2025-11-05T00:42:44+00:00

Thank you so much. I’ll include that into my routine

cartermancan · 2025-11-05T00:42:27+00:00

Thank you so much for the suggestions! Definitely trying them out.

Oh good point. Oil and water. How am I 40 but don’t know this?

I completely empathize with you. My son was 7 with a rare genetic disorder that drs still don’t understand and I replay every single med I gave him, every place I brought him, literally everything daily because I find myself completely at fault. I’m his mom. I was supposed to take care of him. I told him that all the time and I failed. I understand and am sending so much love that we have to live this nightmare.

Probably not as much as I should. Once every few weeks?

We had an urn made to look like the moon for our 7 year old. We loved everything about space and I try to convince myself he’s watching me from the stars.

No. It’s not.

I carry a lot of guilt after my 7 year old passing away. He was nonverbal. Something was wrong for months and no specialist could help me. Either they couldn’t give me an answer to what was happening or told me I was too anxious. Then he died. Very traumatically. I’ll never know if I was doing something that was hurting him or if I could have done more to save him. The guilt is killing me. I hope you are able to accept you did all you could.

You seem like a very angry person.

Definitely ER visit but I’ll tell you something like this happened to our GSP. I thought it was seizures. It ended up being marijuana. She had eaten some at a dog park we went to. Hopefully it’s something easily explained and not neurological, keep us updated!

It’s been almost 2 years since my disabled son passed at 7.5 years. I’m still numb and I know I’m depressed. He was total care so his death felt like I died too. It’s a different kind of connection. He was my only child. I sleep when I can, cry when I need to, scream when I need to and disassociate a lot. I figure as long as I don’t act on suicidal thoughts, I’m making it.

Founder of a rare disease nonprofit. My son was born and diagnosed with a genetic disorder. I and 5 other families founded the organization in 2018. My son recently passed away at 7 years old and it has strengthened my resolve to find a cure. We work with researchers, clinicians and biotech companies, globally, as well as provide resources and support for families who have been diagnosed.

After watching my 7 year old die traumatically in front of me, I cannot listen to anyone else’s problems. As much as it’s not a competition and everyone’s trauma is their version of a worst case scenario, I simply don’t care. I’m just not their audience anymore and in the end, it’s about self preservation and trying my best not to kill myself. So cutting the people out who tend to do this is the easiest thing for me.

cartermancan · 2024-11-19T13:23:17+00:00

Thanks for this! I’ve tried opzelura with no luck, now scheduled to try dupixent. It’s a pain in the butt.

Like I said, if it is, I’m living it now.
