I will start out by laying down the theory, and then I will move on to supplying some evidence of why I think this way. Theory: Through the COVID pandemic, there has an urge of mental health diseases in the US. With the release of COVID, whether it was intentional or unintentional, it has brought on a crushing increase of mental health issues, and this brings me to my theory. I think that COVID triggered a domino effect in the health of people around the world, and with people more worried about several aspects of life than what is happening in the bigger picture of things. This whole thing is to create a smoke screen to hide what is exactly is playing out in the world. Do I know the end goal? No. I don’t even know or have a theory who is pulling the strings. The dominos are just starting to drop.

Over the last few months I have been in and out of the hospital a lot. So, I’m going to be explaining why I wanted to talk about this… Ambulances Each hospitalization starts with a trip to the ER via ambulance. Why an ambulance? Well, by the time I admit I need help, I’m not able to drive myself. It’s usually because of the amount of pain I’m in. While sometimes the ambulance ride ends up a positive experience (the best you can have in that situation)… Sometimes has been lackluster, at best. Seems like the care factor has been on a steady decline since the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Most of the times, I have been delivered to the waiting room instead of actually being cared for. During the ride, they refuse to give any assistance, and the reason I have gotten is that they don’t want to make it worse. I usually ask for pain medication and/or something for the nausea. While I understand the pain medication can make a intestinal blockage worse, and I would completely understand if that’s what I have been experiencing. With the # of times I have been through this, I’m pretty sure I know what to do/expect. Trust would go along way with the patients and the paramedics.

It’s ben a while since I have put a post up, and I would like to talk about the things that have been on my mind. Health position: I select this topic first cause I have been going through more health challenges. In short, my gastro intestinal track doesn’t agree with me a lot of the times. I have concluded that I’m not able to figure out what is causing the issues, and I have been seeing several GI offices in the past years. This has been happening for the part 16+ years, and over the years, I have had almost every test executed on me during that time. There was one of the doctors that said I have had more than a million dollars worth of testing on me. Anyways, I have come to have less and less confidence in the health care system. I know they are doing their best, and I’m sure that my case isn’t the run of the mill type of case. I am going to be going under the procedure again this weekend, and my family has super hopeful that the outcome will at least shed more light on the problem.

First, i would like to cover what has been going on. There has not been any life altering changes I have went through. There has been a lot of self reflection on my past, and a long with self-reflection, comes the realizations of my life. I don’t remember telling this, but about 6 months ago I realized I was socially awkward. How did I come to this conclusion? Well, I was in the shower and I was reflecting over my life. One of the main things I noticed is when I was in the neighborhood of 13 years old. I started drifting away from most of my friends. It was hard to realize something like this about yourself, and never see it for yourself until later in life. So - 27 years after it started, I FINALLY saw it for myself. What does it mean for me? Well, it means that I have to work a little harder to be close to people. Can you blame people for this? Of course you can, but in reality, it’s up to YOU to deal with yourself. So, although I have a good idea what caused this change in me; I do not blame the people that were involved. It’s just how I handled the difficult situation I was in at the time.

3 Month Check in So, it’s been 3 months since I started working, roughly. I started back part time on July 4th (what are the odds), and I went to full time 3 weeks after that. Since then… it’s been pretty good getting back into the grove… Then comes the learning curve that has been set upon me. With the amount of time I was gone, just about every aspect of the job has changed. Then put on top of that, having a new position and new scope, yea, it’s been a lot of learning.

What does it mean to be aware of your mental health? There are so many aspects of the mental health of people. Just to list a few: sleep, physical activity, physical health, sun light, medication. Most people don’t realize that your physical health is directly tied to your mental health. Here is a story of a friend of mine that I met in IOP. I’m not giving names, to protect the identity of that individual.

At this point, I have been back to work for about 6 weeks. It’s been a difficult 6 weeks to get my stamina back up to what it needs to be.

Well, I have been off of dabs for about 6 weeks now. There is so much to say about the road over the last 6 weeks. Let me start off by saying a few things about THC, weed, and dabs.

Along this whole time…. my gi track has been in bad shape. We are talking to the point of asking yourself ‘What the fuck did I do to deserve this?’ I started seeing Asheville Gastro back around the October time frame. It started with reviewing my previous medical records… then moved on to Upper endo, GI acid test, esophageal study, and then started on Carafate (medication). I started the Carafate, and 4 days later, I was in the hospital for a blockage. That episode went for 2 weeks and covered two different hospitals.
