Somberness Personified
Some of the readers wouldn’t be able to understand this, but that’s just for me to ponder. Those who do understand will know how profound it is.
Oh, where are my manners?
Let’s start properly.
Rant Time
Hey there, my wonderful readers! It’s Shabana Mukhtar, and today I want to talk about something that’s been a big part of my life lately – the battle with a bunch of diseases that seem to have formed a club and decided to invade my body together. Yeah, talk about teamwork!
First off, let’s talk about blood sugar. My blood sugar levels have been playing a rollercoaster game with me. One moment I’m feeling like a superhero with normal readings, and the next moment, I’m down in the dumps with high levels that make me question my life choices. And let’s not forget about the never-ending lectures from relatives about what I should and shouldn’t eat.
Cholesterol, you sneaky little thing. You’ve decided to join the party too. High cholesterol levels have me feeling like I’ve suddenly become the villain of my own story. Suddenly, every delicious meal I used to enjoy seems like a potential threat, and I’m reading food labels like my life depends on it. Well, it kind of does now, doesn’t it?
And then there’s the heptamegaly. Say that three times fast! Basically, it’s just a fancy way of saying my liver is not in the mood to cooperate. It’s decided to join the party and add to my list of worries.
Now, let’s talk about stress. Oh boy, the stress. Dealing with these health issues has turned me into a professional stress ball juggler. I’m juggling work, doctor’s appointments, medications, and trying to make sure I don’t accidentally eat something that might send my blood sugar levels into a frenzy. It’s like a chaotic circus, and I’m the ringmaster trying to keep everything under control.
You know what’s even more fun? The fact that all this stress is making me even more stressed. It’s like a never-ending loop of anxiety and worry. And speaking of worry, let’s dive into the topic that keeps me awake at night – the fear of dying.
Yep, I said it. The fear of dying has become a constant companion. When you’re dealing with health issues, the thought of mortality starts to creep in, and suddenly every little ache or pain sends you into a spiral of panic. It’s like a horror movie marathon playing in your head on repeat.
But you know what? Despite all these challenges and fears, I’m determined to fight back. I’m learning to take things one day at a time, finding moments of joy and laughter amidst the chaos. I’m embracing the support of my loved ones and reminding myself that I’m stronger than these diseases.
So, here’s to facing the battles, taking the meds, and confronting the fears. Here’s to learning to prioritize self-care, finding solace in the little things, and reminding myself that this journey is not defined by diseases, but by my resilience and determination.
Stay strong, my friends. We’re in this together, navigating the twists and turns of life with a blend of humor, courage, and a dash of stubbornness. Until next time, take care and keep fighting the good fight!
