As a fellow chronic condition sufferer I am so so sympathetic to that pain, but the sort of downwards spiral being displayed is a real hallmark of an unhealthy coping mechanism. It also takes a lot out of your argument if you start off with “this late-stage capitalism state is denying me treatment” and move into a whine (yes, sorry, a whine, that’s how it reads) about how some other player isn’t doing them free custom art. I’ve definitely had days where I go on a grand old rant about everything going wrong. Sometimes stubbing your toe or internet bad luck is the cherry on the misery cake. But if all you do is cry for sympathy eventually people will get burned out on helping you.
