FITTED TO WHOM
MEEEEEEEEEEEE BABYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
But... if you actually loved someone... you wouldnât even dream of hurting them the way you hurt me...
Being married and cheated on.
See.. when you marry your best friend and he/she cheats, your entire world crumbles. Youâre entire being crumbles. You turn into those mini chocolate chip cookies that always seem to fall apart in your, o so gentle, fingers. As if begging not to be eaten, crumbling into the abyss of a dark soon to be empty bag. Itâs like being slapped and stabbed, bleeding but not bleeding enough to die. Just enough to realize youâre going to get light headed and need something to eat. Itâs like a rollercoaster of oncoming emotions that keep fighting to be in the spotlight; Anger, sadness, bitterness, disappointment, empty, emotional, numb, overwhelmed. Life has never seem so complex. Deciding on whether or not to forgive, but never forget or try every day to forget but never forgive. Feeling unreasonable for being so angry and feeling unreasonable for not being angry enough. This may not make any sense to you but makes all sorts of sense to me. Iâm writing to remind myself that itâs okay to feel. Itâs okay. O K A Y. Itâs 100% okay to feel betrayed. Itâs 100% okay to feel lost. Itâs 100% okay to feel sad. Itâs 100% okay to feel angry. Itâs 100% okay to feel Everything and Nothing, all at once. Needing to vent and just wanting to keep it all in to fester and rot. Crying for hours, sobbing tears into your pillow. Feeling weak but reminding yourself that crying doesnât make you weak. It makes you learn. The worst lesson, the lesson youâll never forget.
Itâs not weak to cry.
Itâs not weak to feel.
Itâs not weak to not know what to do.
It is okay to feel lost.
Itâs okay if you give a second chance.
Itâs okay if you donât.
Youâre human.
They are human.
Thatâs not an excuse. It is a reason.
I support all of you either way. If you need to talk, Iâm here. I get it. Youâre not alone. We will be okay.
So this article, from October 2019, raises some points that I canât help feel are raised badly, and offer what many in the veterinary community consider bandaid solutions at best.
In summary, the inquest looked into veterinarians which committed suicide using euthanasia solution. Veterinarians are at greater risk of suicide than the general population (about 4x higher) and a common method of choice is using the same injection we use to euthanise animals. Weâre familiar with how it works, itâs peaceful, and itâs easily accessible.
The inquest drew two main conclusions:
Veterinarians need to acknowledge that their career can be stressful (ya donât sayâŠ) and should have mentorship systems in place (weâve tried, thatâs not a new idea)
Veterinarians should lock up that drug, like they do with other controlled drugs like morphine, fentanyl, etc.
And I canât help feel like this is kind of laughable.
Locking up euthanasia solution isnât going to prevent any veterinary suicides. It might prevent vet nurse suicides, but last stats I read put them at about 1.2x the risk of the general population, which is fortunately a lot less than our 4x risk factor. Locking up euthanasia solution wont prevent veterinarians from accessing it.
Because veterinarians are the ones holding the keys.
Listen, if you were intending to use euthanasia solution on yourself that night, are you going to care about someone realizing youâve stolen the drug later in the week when they do an audit? If youâre last vet working are you going to dob yourself in when you audit before closing, or are you just going to take it home and go about your business?
Veterinarians tend to be a type, and that type is methodical, logical planners. Nobody is taking that drug on a whim, itâs planned and thought about ahead of time.
Itâs also pointless because I can think of at least two other, non-controlled drugs which would be on the shelf at any vet clinic that you can also reliably use to cause rapid death, and some clinics will even have a third.
And while younger, female vets prefer medically committing suicide, older male vets seem more likely to put themselves into car accidents. Harder to prove it was suicide, but thatâs rather the point. More dignity after death that way.
Access to euthanasia solution is not the cause of the problem. Itâs a tool If you limit access to it, and you canât do that in any meaningful way, theyâll just move to the next tool. They have the knowledge to do so.
I canât help but feel like the inquest conclusions were kind of victim-blamey. Like, âOh yes, well you must acknowledge that your job is stressful and you should probably have had the victims lock that drug away from themselves, even though they carry the key in their pocket. Iâm sure they would have obeyed that rule.â
At some point we need to recognize that society at large, the general public, isnât going to step in and save us. Itâs up to us to walk away from our careers if theyâre killing us, to set boundaries, to shield our own mental states.
And I think part of that is getting to vet students early, before theyâre well and truly stuck in the pit of despair, to offer ideas that they donât have to be veterinarians forever if they feel trapped, lost or hopeless. There are other routes in life, other options. Because knowing other options exist in life is vital.
has this been done yet? Based on a conversation overheard at school lol
