It’s weird to me the level of deranged guilt her diary entries show.

We are responsible for our actions. I just wonder wtf was going on in her head that allowed her to keep doing it. She hated herself for it. Like a lot.

This is a mental health issue and we need better mental health care options, preferably free.

Yes, but it’s difficult to access. You need to want to get the care and actively campaign to be referred.

And that’s the “easy” things like anxiety or garden variety depression.

As soon as it gets complicated it’s a whole other story.

If she never tried to seek it out, then it doesn’t even matter as it appears she didn’t give off any “I murder babies” vibes to the extent that the investigation was delayed beyond a reasonable length of time because she was not suspected of such a thing.

Not to mention, if she was diagnosed with something severe, she would probably lose her job if not her entire career. A lot of people avoid seeking help for that reason.
So weird that private medical info is only like sorta private except if they wanna use it

I mean, on the one hand I agree.

On the other hand, if you dream of murdering babies or crashing planes, perhaps the hospital or airline you work for should be informed.

And that attitude is why they don't seek help
Ok, but the alternative is knowing a nurse directly in charge of infants wants to murder them and still letting her go into work. You’re basically an accomplice at that point.
