insomnia itself and especially caused by trauma can be much more harmful, the author did choose a weird and stereotypical example but if you can't even get a night's relief from your stressful impossible to escape situation. after years of a situation why wouldn't you just assume the long term is bleak and prioritize short term counter productive relief.

assuming dying is something you'd be avoiding at all costs at that point really shows a lack of empathy

You are assuming they were making an informed decision in order to paint me as a monster. Nice.

As someone who's literally been in the figurative position you're using to attack someone:

  1. Neither I nor anyone else who's experienced homelessness is a pawn for your Internet argument bullshit. How dare you? Go pay the next panhandler you see $50 as penance.

  2. You are completely wrong. It is absolutely horrible and disgusting that you're out here arguing that someone might want to freeze to death. These are the words of someone who's never been more than a little chilly, not someone who's had to struggle against the cold to survive.

  3. Seriously, go give a homeless person $50 and get our shared struggle out of your mouth.
