@lisajanelle our brains are funny things. We get taught about 'fight or flight' but there isn't much mention of 'put your head under the covers' If your instinct is to do one thing--run like hell--but the advice you are getting says something else--agree to let someone cut your boob off--its normal to be conflicted. Which can lead you to considering throwing the whole mess onto the floor and walking away.
This may not be helpful at the moment but, for me, making decisions (or accepting the ones that had been made for me) was the worst part of the process. I've done this twice now so I know how utterly shitful it feels to be backed into a corner.
Yes, you can walk away and let nature take its course. It is your life, and your decision how much effort you want to put into survival. Anyone who pats you on the head and tells you that everything will work out probably hasn't been where you are now, but sometimes it helps to step back and think what advice your 'old' self would have given a friend in your current situation. These are grim times, just keep plodding along. Marg x
