When I first got my learners permit a few years ago I signed up to be an organ donor. I didn't really choose to, everyone said you should so I just did it. Then when I got my license the same thing just kind of happened. I knew the importance and how thousands of people die waiting for a transplant each year so I just went with it. Now that I have to go in and renew my license I've been thinking about organ donation. You may not know this but I struggle with anxiety and depression. For some reason the thought of having another persons organ, tissue, or blood freaks me out. It makes my skin crawl and I honestly don't think I could do it, even if it was life or death. It sounds crazy to say it, let alone think it, but I'd rather die than get another persons body parts. I would honestly feel weird and constantly freaking out about it. It'd be like having a never ending panic attack. No matter how many facts you tell me I just can't do it. I know getting is different than giving but to me it's still freaky. Yeah, I'd be dead and wouldn't know any better but it's still weird for me to think of another person having part of me in them. If you've ever struggled with anxiety you might be able to understand and I hope that you will be able to even if you don't or haven't. My opinions are forever changing so maybe one day I'll be able to be a donor, but as of right now I just can't do it. Are you a donor? Let me know down below.
