hi all
oh boy its been a whirlwind of a few days for me i've had a medical appointment everyday this week so far i've managed to get to all of them on time and in person (major win), its not been easy and i've had a few very scary and ernest conversations with the medical staff i've seen and some numbers discussed that have really put the willies up me i've had to stop take stock and admit to them and myself that i'm in a HUGE PICKLE i've let things get on top of me and if i keep this up things aren't going to end well my hba1c is 106 my cholesterol is 17 and i have high blood pressure, i think i already knew this but having the numbers there in black and white seems to have knocked something loose in my addled old brain, ive asked to see a dietician because i need help with eating right im seeing a mental health nurse today and im being referred back to my shrink for a meds review (i've been on the same doses for a few years they need tweaking) Im back on all my meds and have been for nearly a week now , ive also been in contact with social services so i can get help with my day to day life because i clearly need a little more help than ive previously wanted to admit i feel like im a few more rungs further up the ladder now and that it may just be ok to ask for help every now and then no ones refused to help i dont feel judged or looked down upon.
i feel like im taking the power back from the trolls that run free in my brain and im winning step by step im taking it back for me for my health and my sanity
peace love and high fives all round
