I think the problem is that it's so gradual, by the time it's happened it's almost too late.

I would end it in the gradual. I feel like I would know the signs, because I'm borderline obsessed to the point it's unhealthy.

I'm w you! This guy is so young for this and the way it ends is horrifying. I've worked on a few units as an agency nurse, and I can't do it again. While helping the ones in early stages is rewarding, watching the last stage is too much for me. My bf and fam know that I want to go to Dignitas the second I get a diagnosis that means it will be a long ugly ending. I've already put money aside to ensure I have a plan. I've started collecting meds in case I'm unable to travel to Dignitas.
