Diabetic Cyborg Life 10/25: I Just Don’t get it
Do people really think I chose to be sick and disabled?
Aside from the people that suffer from “Munchausen’s syndrome.” Or a similar issue, where a psychological disorder makes people like being the center of attention, I don’t get why people can’t accept that I literally can’t do something anymore.
Yes, I can do some things for a short time, but the effects of that short time of being “normal” can be very costly to my overall health. As seen weeks ago in Georgia, I can pretend to be okay, but I AM NOT OKAY. Stroke, heart attack, or other bad results of overdriving my body can be catastrophic.
This was the crux of my clash with my former housemate in Charlotte. I DO NOT choose to be a victim, every time I heard that I had to stop myself from ripping his throat out with my bare hands. I am not a victim even.
I am simply a human living with illness.
Deal with that!
I’m sorry if that shatters your fragile world view, and hold on reality, but that is me.
Hi,
I have progressive multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and pancreatitis, how are you?
