These are things that we're being impacted by, and it's not recognized and being treated as if all of these things connect together. I find it odd that I, as a 43-year-old lady who has no medical training, recognize that every part of my body impacts the other. I'm terrified to go for my next blood work because my A1C is not going to be where I want it to be because I've just had major mental health issues. I saw the impacts. I felt horrible.
This is how bad it is, right? I'm now stressing and hard on myself, and I don't want to go to get that next blood work, because it is not going to be where I want it to be. To me, that just gives that physician the right to say, “You've done this to yourself. You've brought it on yourself. Look at what you did. You didn't have control. How dare you?”
Well, you know what? I was trying. I didn't have my sensor. I was suffering from depression and anxiety. I have PTSD. It all has an impact on me. I'm trying, but I can't do it. I need my city, my province and everyone to work together to help me get the resources that I need because I live in the middle of nowhere.
