#bc god forbid I want to stay stable and not have a breakdown

This may be controversial but I Genuinely wish people would stop being all arrogant and patronising Abt organ donation.

Like people talking abt organ donation to me is the equivalent of those virtue signalling posts on tiktok that’s like “if you don’t do this you’re a shit human being and don’t deserve genuine love or care” cuz yeah organ donation is important but so is respecting people’s wishes who don’t feel comfortable doing it. For example if your religion doesn’t allow it. Me personally I’m not opposed to organ donation but I don’t want to sign up (I live in a country where I’m automatically assumed an organ donor unless I opt out anyways) because I have such bad anxiety if I think about it I will have a panic attack. And I struggle rlly bad w intrusive thoughts and one occurring one is Abt having my organs removed so I just hate thinking about it bc it’s genuinely really distressing for me. Like the thought of having my organs taken is just so panic inducing and awful for me to think about because it reminds me of how I’m going to die one day and I’m actually terrified of that so xxxxx and whenever I try to explain this to people when I say I’m not an organ donor (haven’t got a card that u get when u sign up) it’s like “WHY NOT??!?!?!?” “YOULL BE DEAD YOU WONT NEED THEM!!!” “WHY ARE YOU SUCH A SHIT PERSON DO YOU NOT CARE ABOUT OTHERS IN NEED????” Like no. Just let me explain for two secs and stop being an asshole !!! I just think that it’s stupid cuz I think that even if it’s not for religious reasons we should still respect the wishes of the dead. If I say I don’t want to donate I don’t want to and I have a valid reason and that should be respected. I get that organ donation is struggling bc of aging population but you don’t have to make me feel guilty about my genuine fears and anxieties because you want to make yourself look better. Cuz these people don’t care they just wanna make themselves seem better than you most of the time. And they just scream at you and it’s really upsetting.

#more in tags #like there’s ways to get people to donate but publicly shaming and humiliating them is not it #and it just hurts as a mentally ill person to be hounded over things that genuinely make my illness worse #bc god forbid I want to stay stable and not have a breakdown #plus I’m also disabled like it’s good I’m not an organ donor bc babes none of this is working for me #so why would it work for anyone else #organ donation is a privilege and I feel as well that I’m not heard out as a disabled person when I try to explain #that hey I am self aware enough to know that my organs wouldn’t be of use to anyone once I die bc they’ll probably be the reason I do #plus I can still donate in other ways #like I’m all for donating blood or plasma and to help where I can and feel comfortable doing so #but forcing people to do something bc YOU think it’s best without even considering personal nuance is stupid and I hate it #organ donation #organ donor #personal #mirs thoughts #mir screams #vent #vent post #mental illness #mental health #blood donation #blood donor #plasma #hospital #blood drive #healthcare
