Thanks Tomatheus. I have three real life stressers right now. As usual, money is a big one.
A followup gastroenterologist appt a month ago was bizarre. I have a pre-cancerous situation in my esophagus. He asked, do you know how serious this is? Cancer could be growing in you right now. He's a real charmer.I was caught off guard or I would have asked him what do you think I've dealt with the last 30 years? See my chart: Bipolar. Give me stage 4 cancer and two months. At least it's legit.
Plus skin cancer on my nose will take a dermatologist and a plastic surgeon. Will Medicare care?
These things sometimes work out, but sometimes might not be this time.
We now live in what the article said about "America being the worst place in the free world to have a mental illness now."I don't know the answer but I know when a sh*t storm is on the horizon.
All I can do is try to stay in the present. The happy idiot.
Thanks for your response. We all deal with these issues to one extent or another. It's just my turn.
Day after day, alone on a hill, I'm amazed at the lack of humanity,that's killing us still.
