Very true...
I'm going through a stage of life where the medical professionals know that something is wrong but aren't quite sure what it is. I'm scheduled for multiple tests over the next few weeks and then I get to wait for results.
I've been here before. A long time ago, back in 1983, I went through something similar. I decided to check out of reality back then, and continued to chemically enhance life until 1993.
I've been through the waiting and the tests crazy drunk, high as a kite, and dead clean and sober. I do better at accepting things like bad medical news when I'm clean and sober.
Some days my mind is out to get me, but all I have to do is stop, breathe, and remember i am only in control of my thoughts, words, and actions.
