Unfortunately, I don’t have some insightful, profound answer. I really wanted to have one. The more I thought about this question, the more I realized that the thing that brings me peace is medication.
That’s right. Medication.
I have Type 2 Diabetes. With diabetes comes an onslaught of conditions that add up the older you get. However, I’ve been blessed with good health insurance for the majority of my life. I’ve been able to take medications that most cannot afford. My diabetic medications bring me peace of mind. They help me reduce the complications that diabetes causes.
I am also diagnosed with bipolar II and OCD. Without medication, my world is chaos. My emotions are all over the place and I feel angry and anxious all the time. My mood stabilizers bring me peace. Without them, my mind is loud and unyielding.
Having the best health that I can manage with all of these conditions brings me peace and I can’t achieve that peace without my medications.
