you can't industrialize health if you care
As I was leaving work yesterday a co-worker said I looked like a completely different person.
Out of nowhere. Random.
It's a weird thing to say to someone.
But she's right.
I do look like a different person now.
It's apparent to people that only see me a few days a week, even.
I FEEL very different now that I am not on any medication.
And it's only been about a month.
Everything about me feels different. How I move, walk, talk, smell. I've lost weight. I stopped drinking.
I feel like I did when I was 17. Or, at least what I can remember that felt like.
The last time I went to the doctor, they ran down my list of medications, and were stumped.
Nothing.
“What do you take?” They asked. Like, it had to be a mistake. They've never seen someone NOT on drugs.
I'm not in denial. I know everything I ingest becomes a part of me, changing the levels of chemicals in my brain and my body.
But, I'm not on “medication”.
And it makes me really happy.
