Thoughts
“Can’t you just, not think about it? Stop stressing yourself out. Breathe.”
It’s frustrating to say the least, when people treat your illness like it’s all in your head, because it has to do with your brain.
“Can’t you just, stop being diabetic? Stop taking your insulin. It will be fine.”
Are words you would never hear them say. No one tells you to just pull yourself up by the bootstraps when you have cancer or acid reflux.
The problem is, it’s not just in my head. It’s in everything I do.
I would stop if I could. Trust me.
