Mental health is horrible

After seeing that pic of my ex last night it made me realise how bad mental health is but what鈥檚 even worse is that drs just give you medication knowing that these will slowly kill you.

They don鈥檛 tell you to meditate or to try help yourself which you can I am proof off that, they just give you tablets that will affect your body in so many ways and in the end destroy you.

When I was on medication I put on over 3st and towards the end I was borderline diabetic and had thyroid problems which I knew was all down to the medication I was being given because as soon as I came off the the tablets I lost weight and all the problems.

I see so many people who are struggling with mental health and I wish I could just tell them that they can help themselves, our minds are a dangerous place and thrive on negativity but we can fight against it.

I look back on when I was lost in that darkness that felt like my home but i never ever want to go back there.

Yesterday I actually did revisit it i suddenly felt that darkness wrap its arms around me and i actually felt scared but thankfully I managed to get away from it because i thought to myself how grateful i am to be alive, to be healthy and to have a strong mind.

My heart goes out to everyone that is struggling and i wish I could help them find the light but sadly too many are lost 馃様

I know about pills.

I had a neck infection last spring (flesh eating bacteria). Before that, I had not been to a doctor in many years. I had not been on any medication.

To save my life, they did multiple surgeries to clean out my wounds and patch my skin. I was on multiple antibiotics, both intravenous and oral. I could have died.

While there, they found other previously undiagnosed problems: diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, high pulse, enlarged heart, low vitamin B12, and diabetic neuropathy (yet I sensed that). So more pills, and insulin injections. I also have pills for pain.

I am off antibiotics, and now on semaglutide (Ozempic) rather than insulin.

Then I had a colonoscopy. They found inflammation, so I take 4 pills a day for that.

I had an eye exam. They said I am developing cataracts and may have diabetic retinopathy, so now I need to see a specialist. Perhaps that will lead to more pills and surgeries. It never ends.

My doc also wants me to see a neurologist due to my neauropathy (numb extremities, especially toes).
@JoyfulSilence omg you poor thing I hope your ok now? That鈥檚 a lot of problems and medication bless ya 馃

@LittleTinks

I think I will be a little messed up, especially my neck, for life. Sigh.

Body is falling apart.
