I’ve struggled with daily depression for about 18 years now but some difficulties in my life recently have made me go further into the deep end. I realized how bad off my mental health was when I was a little jealous that my anxious and aggressive dog was being put down. I had the thought of why can’t humans who suffer long term mental health problems that only worsen even with treatment receive the same mercy of euthanasia? I am broken over the fact that I won’t ever be able to see my dog again but also grateful that he had a peaceful way out when his mental health was decreasing even with training and medicine.
