Is it something like, "alive but inside a dead/decaying body" because yes that's pretty fucking horrifying,,,

Sort of but I think it’s more the process of letting yourself get to that point in the first place than even the end result. Either being completely at someone else’s mercy and having it just happen to you so incredibly slowly or somehow doing it to yourself out of pure apathy or depression is even more terrifying. Sorry if I worded it badly, I did say it was hard to put into words haha. You only need to picture it happening and that’s worth more than any description

I get it. Almost for me it's those TLC shows 1000lb sisters or whatever, or those obese feeders and just...it's horrifying. I of course feel sad but it scares the crap out of me too.
