It's scary how fast mental illness can take people away but not really take them away. Wendy was a fixture just a few years ago.

This is why my wife has explicit instructions to take me to a place that allows euthanasia if I ever catch a disease like this. I'm not even going to lie: this is the number one thing in life that scares me.

I'm not even going to lie: this is the number one thing in life that scares me. Same here. There are very specific circumstances in which I wouldn't want to live (as it can hardly be called living at that point) and this is one of them.

That really bums me out. My roommate and I used to watch the FUCK out of Wendy every day before work (we both worked late shifts), watching WW with her is one of my fondest memories. We would always say "How YOU doin?!" with her inunison almost on autopilot lol.
