I have been diagnosed with depression quite a few times and I refuse the medication route. It’s hard not being deemed normal by a lot of people. I was with a girl who could never understand or comprehend when I was having a bad mental day. I push through day after day coping with whatever happens. This goes one step further though for me….beyond mental illness.
I had a major heart attack and ended up having a 5-way bypass surgery 2 1/2 years ago. I’m 44 kinda young to be having these kind of health issues but it is what it is. So now here I am with physical issues that cause more mental issues it’s like a never ending snowball effect. What is so frustrating is you can tell someone what you have been through….but just because I am walking, talking and acting normal they think I should be able to do what most can, work a grueling fulltime job that is either physical or where I have to stand on my feet for long periods of time. It sucks when you want your body to do something and it can’t anymore.
