Today was busy, but made you feel accomplished. At least until the migraine hit. The lightning and thunder came in and now my head feels like I have someone pumping a balloon in it.
Big frustration right now as a Type 2 diabetic - I can't get my medication Trulicity. It's sad and frustrating. It reminds me of the time when my thyroid medication was low. I wish our medical system would work on this. Or even look at a way that has less waste? Who knows. The single use instruments can't be good for any environment that is outside a hospital standard. All I can think of is piles of single use injection medications. Even the pre-loaded pens for insulin
I'm proud of my kids, Mister Mister is turning 16 this weekend. I don't know how I feel about that. I'm so happy he's finally reached that age and is actually thriving, however at the same time, I worry about the future. What will it be? I worry that he might actually be successful, and maybe one day want to move to another part of the world, and then be denied due to his diagnosis of Autism?
It's frustrating that there is no perfect human. We all have a flaw, some of us are now taking the time to be properly diagnosed and treated in order to better work through our lives, but then are punished because of stigmas and internalized stereotypes that people who are 'other' are not as valuable or as good at contributing to society. We are touting and preaching 'Be Mental Health Aware' all countries... but then Mental Health concerns can bar you from travel.
Anyways - that's the though that is on my mind today.
