Haha, I’m scared that if I can push myself to write on paper, I won’t be able to stop. I think a cross shredder will be a worthy investment in the long run, so I’ll have to delve into that more.
Thanks a lot
Thanks!
Thank you. This is really insightful and something that I think might be a robust solution for me. I’ll research GPG more, I clearly need to.
One thing I want to try is journaling, to start.
Edit: has anyone ever tried to journal but was instinctively unable to write unrestricted? I think I just need to push through this feeling.
I appreciate that a lot. The more I consider it I think for completely destroyed data, paper and a lighter will be best. The odds of me looking back on anything else are low, but part of me thinks keeping them is something I’ll one day wish I’d done from day one.
Jokes on you I am an iOS for mobile and Linux for desktop user. I’ll carry on now.
Good point and clarification. I’ll leave my error up there because hey maybe somebody else will learn too.
You’re right that I would argue for a specific case and I suppose that is what makes it a difficult measure to quantify.
And yes of course any opinion in this thread will inevitably have bias if they’re responding to my request for personal experiences, including my own. I’m not trying to avoid bias here but just gather what individuals are thinking. In my case, you’re right that my conflation of public interest is incorrect. Though I still believe in my experiences the system is very imperfect and overly rigid.
Thanks.
Please protect your personal information, people. For those curious what sparked the idea of posting this - it was Doug Ford’s proposal for live-streaming bail hearings, which gave me a push towards discussing things I’ve never really publicly discussed.
Edit: oh, and please make sure you are referencing Canadian law and experiences in Ontario. The legal system of other countries is not relevant here.
Fun fact when you apply for ODSP you are “encouraged” to fill out an “optional” self-assessment and talk about how your life is shit and plead your case and describe your issues to some unknown government shithead who’s not a qualified practitioner. Most reports I’ve seen, people say this drastically improves your odds at acceptance. I’d imagine from about 0.5% to 1% or something like that.
Isn’t that just the most fun fucking fact you’ve ever heard?
Hey when you apply for a job can they request you share your personal medical history to help your odds of qualifying? No, they can’t? Huh.
Yes it is. But hey what if we’re just faking it for free handouts? Can’t be too sure. I mean, if they’re really disabled shouldn’t they be in wheelchairs or missing limbs or unable to talk or something?
Fucking circus.

Thanks for your care and personal experience. I’ll say that perhaps one day I can re-examine whether this is something I can reasonably do. It’s nice to hear that it helped you.
