I rarely cry, but I feel sad a lot. So I have a lot of debilitating health problems. I'd been feeling especially bad for a while and my doctor hadn't been able to find out what was wrong. I researched my symptoms and side effects of medications I had been taking and found the most likely culprit. So I told my doctor, and she's like "OMG! I saw your blood work and that you were low on 'blank' and 'blank', but I thought it was because you're taking 'blank' medication. But it's actually a dangerous side effect of a different medication, and you have to go to the ER NOW!" So now not only did I feel like c**p, I also had to worry about getting to the ER, making the doctors there believe that I ķnew what my problem was, (because my own doctor is outside of the healthcare network in my small town and the hospital doctors here are reluctant, if not downright opposed to listening to their patients), and managing not to get admitted while still receiving the correct treatment for my problem. It was all just too much. I just broke down, thinking how I'd lost almost a year of my life to this illness, wondering why my doctor hadn't figured it out sooner, and also, knowing that I was low on the the two components in my blood that could cause coma, heart attack and, obviously, death was extremely upsetting. Then I just started thinking of all the depressing things going on in the world today, mass extinction, our ruined climate, etc, and it just broke me for a bit.
