The hell of those who cannot die: a chronicle of chronic despair
In the anonymous corners of the internet, where masks fall away and honesty hurts, a group of strangers share more than greetings: they share the weight of a life they feel is a sentence. 'My buddy, 36 years old, kicked the bucket from smoking sustancia ilegal and drinking way too much alcohol,' writes one. Another confesses he has at least one overdose a year, and that he has survived by luck, being that 0.01% who tries and is still here. There is no epic or glamour: there is fatigue, addiction and the feeling of being trapped on the edge of a cliff.
Therapy as a sham
Distrust of the mental health system is total. 'They lie, they lie. Those people only want to listen so they can draw a conclusion, so give them whichever one suits you best,' advises one. Another says he doesn't know how to talk to his psychologist and psychiatrist, antiestéticaring they will have him committed. Therapy is seen as a pointless formality, and honesty as a risk. Instead of relief, the system is seen as a potential threat.
Work, drugs and survival
While one Uber driver takes refuge in work, putting in crazy hours and blasting manele music to cheer himself up, another plans to go back to drugs in order to die. Work as anesthesia, addiction as an escape route or as a death sentence. The paradox: the same job that keeps him afloat can also be a trap. The driver says his wheel is his only comfort.
The accident that changed nothing
An account of a car accident: on a curve, swerving to avoid a van, rolling over and ending up upside down in an embankment. 'The pity is I'm still alive and kicking, literally,' he says. Life is seen as a sentence to carry on, a curse of a hundred years. Surviving is not a triumph, but a burden.
What remains at the end of this exchange is neither an answer nor a solution. It is the confirmation that, for some, life is a daily battle with no quarter and no truce. And that, in the darkness of the web, at least, there are those who tell it without filters.
