I'm going to be a bit morbid here, but of all the diseases or mechanical ways to die, which would be your LAST CHOICE if given a preference. Dead last, so to speak. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Anything that makes you aware that you're slowly losing touch with reality and control of your body or causes you to mistreat the people who love you.

causes you to mistreat the people who love you
