there are times that I am doing so well, I stop taking my meds. and suddenly I feel like the light switch has flipped off. and suddenly I feel like I am not better because of my hard work. and suddenly I feel like a fraud. I try to remind myself that the brain is an organ, that this is a disease, that diabetics need insulin and no one thinks of that as cheating. I try to remind myself that this is not a boost, this is a treatment. so I swallow my pride along with my pills and let myself get better.
