And it is. Having multiple diseases brings many,many challenges. Last night I couldn't check my vitals. I was so exhausted. I was done. Today it's been hard to stay awake. I'm losing weight pretty fast without trying. Three pounds in one day. Losing unintentional weight I constantly have to adjust slow and fast acting insulin. Heart meds. I'm thinking about Palliative care again as I'm finding it just to hard to go though this alone. I also have depression, anxiety, bi-polar 2, diverticulitis and hypothyroidism as well as cancer twice with the suspect cancer 3 is here. I've put off the oncologist for a month as I have a Zio Patch which is taped near my heart and records symtoms like a tiny EKG machine. I'm on my third day with it. 12 more to go.
I'm in bed most of the time because getting up and around makes my heart skip beats. I know I'm not going to live a whole lot longer. It makes me sad. I'm not even sure why it makes me sad. I think because I make the world a better place to live. I have a solid mind. I have helped a lot of people. So why do I have to go? Why? I don't see many good people left anymore.
I believe in God. I know God exsists. I've always known. Ever since I was very small I knew. Before anyone took me to a church I was aware of His presence.
I also know a great calimity is to take place. A lot of things are going to happen in a short time. I asked God if I could stay so I could help others. I didn't get an answer yet. But, He will know the anwser and that's all I need to know. To trust him with the anwser. Because it may not always be about finding the anwser to a dilemma but to have faith that Our God is a mighty God and have faith in Him and not ourselves or each other or technology or anything else. Just He who says.......I am.
I am bipolar 1, but I have that under control, mostly. I have days where I want to give up, but God keeps me in the palm of his hand.
As a Christian, we need to read the Bible daily. I've been doing that coming up on 40 years, since Jesus saved me. That's the spiritual side.
But there is the physical side. Because bipolar, depression and anxiety can be from the brain it working properly. If you do not have a psychiatrist who is helping, maybe you need a new one? Or a therapist? A med change might help, and do might getting to the bottom of things.
I'm praying for you, and I will send you a on if you don't mind!
