De Corte was not physically injured in the attack, but endured years of panic attacks and depression afterward, the Mirror reported.
She tried to kill herself twice, in 2018 and 2020, and posted regularly on social media about her struggles.
“With all the medications I take, I feel like a ghost that can’t feel anything anymore. Maybe there were other solutions than medications,” she wrote in one post, according to the Belgian news site RTBF.
De Corte, then 23, chose to be euthanized earlier this year, which is legal in Belgium. She died on May 7 after two psychiatrists signed off on her request.

The State murdered her by making suicide look like a viable option to solve her problems.
It is a sad situation. I’ve known a few people who have committed suicide. I feel for her family and friends.
IMO, her brains were scrambled long before the PTSD drugs. Some people are just prone to taking ‘feelings’ to the extreme...
Canada does sort of the same thing to their PTSD troops. They call it MAID, medical assistance in death, and they actively encourage the troops who call their VA (I forget their name for it) to seek MAID because it’s cheaper to kill them than treat their PTSD. They even have counciling for the children who’s parents opted to be euthenized.
The difference here is the chick in the article sought out death. The troops up there are coaxed into it.
I disagree
I’ve seen lexapro work
Some folks just can’t take it
I say that as likely a one percenter on this forum who has tolerated life and death er stress a lot
Whole lot
But I have sympathy for those who do not
Especially young women
My lack of risk aversion is to some a flaw
My children are not like me and I’m glad of it
In my old age I’m trying to change
She "sought it out" because the State said that it's ok to do so.
What a sad story. So many Scriptures come to mind and dare I say that no one ever talked to her from a Biblical perspective. Ephesians 1 comes to mind where verse 5 makes it clear that she was predestined to be one of the children of Jesus Christ “Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will…”
My father committed suicide after years of depression and paranoia. He was in torment. At least the illness that killed him died with him.
I can not imagine what it would have done to us, his parents and siblings and children, if that illness lived on in the very workings of the state, if we had to walk down the street knowing that we might walk by a doctor or lawmaker who played a part in his death, that we were surrounded by people who approved him being taken away forever.
That would have not been illness, that would have been evil, evil that lived on to take other lives.
My father never trusted the state...
Very good points. My condolences on your loss.
Europe does some stupid ****.
You know how Iceland “cured” Downs Syndrome?
Testing women that were pregnant, and aborting every positive test...
Are you quoting Fight Club?
“Doctors had her on 11 different medications to treat her PTSD and anxiety. Probably these drugs scrambled her brains.”
For sure. My mother believed in a “swift kick in the pants” to get us out of any pity-party we might be indulging in. She went through WWI in Europe, the Depression and WWII here. She didn’t have patience for self-absorbed nonsense. These days for me, it’s more like “sh*t happens, cowgirl up”.
progressivism is a death cult.
Didn’t think so but now that you said it, I guess I am!
