Do you get phone calls from bill collectors?

@SW-User they'll treat you terribly and put their hand out. A week in the hospital would ruin someone's life and I'm sure it has.

@StokedFox The thought of getting sick must be traumatic. I'm sorry you have to suffer through this.

@SW-User I ended up in the hospital because I kept trying to avoid the doctor. Couldn't afford a doc or meds and it almost killed me. Now I wish it had.

@StokedFox I'm speechless, and i feel sick just thinking about anyone having to go through that. If you don't have anxiety already i think you would knowing the costs involved in getting sick. If i had money i'd pay it out for you. Maybe i can win the Christmas lottery here. If i do i'll make it all go away.

@SW-User I have PTSD lol so yeah lots of anxiety. I try to be strong all the time. Especially for my son. The thing that hurts the most is seeing his little spirit be whittled away because he has to change to fit the mold. A mold he'll never fit. It's just another way of control. I really do want to leave this country. You are too sweet. Perhaps one day we'll just move to your country and you can teach us to surf?

The right to wellbeing should be a basic human right

@basilfawlty89 it's only a luxury here. Usually afforded to people that are already well off. They'll treat you, but you will pay. It was funny as I was getting tests they have signs up about how the equipment was donated but yet a single test cost $3,500???

@StokedFox that's ridiculous. And I assume there's no proper state health service?

@StokedFox PTSD is quite a horrible thing to live with. Hopefully it's getting better for you and i'm sure you are really strong for your son, because you always come across that way to us on here. It's a shame though that he is being forced to fit the mold as you said. I had that growing up, and nothing has changed even as an adult. Society wants to force us square pegs into round holes. I don't have much but i would gladly share what i have and give you both surf lessons if you ever make it out this way.

@SW-User I live for the smiles and the happy times. I don't see much of them anymore, but that is all I need.

Is there anywhere on this planet left to go?

@StokedFox I've come to the conclusion that being alive is all about the happy times, and making as many of them and the most of them. I think sadness and seriousness are all symptoms of a sick society that i no longer want to be a part of.

There are still fun and relaxed places to go on the planet, but they are little gems hidden away left unexploited by developoment. That's where i eventually want to go 🏝🏄️🐬
