For sure, and that's a calculation you can make with your doctor if you're in that situation. I'm in favor of allowing humane assisted suicide if qol is gonna be shit due to pain, dementia, or whatever else. But every cancer is different with different treatment side effects, etc.

Depends on the prognosis, but with proper medical supervision, the answer ~~is definitely~~ could be yes. He's only 75.

But also, they've probably got the wrong people if they're activists.

Critical support to the King in his desire to off himself by refusing the finest medical treatment in the world.

So regular PTSD from one or a few Big Traumatic Events tends to result in very vivid, all-consuming flashbacks, among other symptoms. I don't know a lot about regular PTSD.

In contrast, Complex-PTSD comes from a large number of smaller traumas (some can be big too). And for me, it causes what Dr. Pete Walker calls "emotional flashbacks." These are periods of time that can last anywhere from an hour to months long where you feel emotionally like you did when you were experiencing trauma, but unlike normal PTSD, there is no visual or audio component. This makes them especially difficult to recognize or identify while you're in one. So, you may feel helpless, angry, self-hating, walking on eggshells, scared, hyper-vigilant, or compliant/anxious with authority figures AS IF you are still the scared child or person who could not protect yourself or escape.

The four main categories of trauma response are Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Fawn, and you can have a mix of more than one. For me, it looks like staying in bed with no motivation to leave, having very muted/dulled emotions. Also, I have an overactive inner critic that loves to yell at me internally about

and also echoes criticisms my abuser used to say. And to avoid facing problems, I distract myself any way possible, with music, games, streaming video, podcasts, etc.

Pete Walker's website has a lot of free articles and pdfs on this topic. Look at the sidebar on the top left of the page and you can learn more about what I've mentioned. He also has a book called "Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving" that has helped me a lot, and it is basically a more detailed version of his website. He also wrote a book called "The Dao of Fully Feeling" which I have not read. You can find these books on www.annas-archive.org to download for free.
