I’m not a particularly unhealthy person but I have several medical issues that require me to take daily medications and sometimes I can’t shake this feeling of defeat thinking about spending the rest of my life popping pills.
I do the maths and realise that I’ll literally be consuming tens of thousands if not nearing hundreds of thousands of pills in my lifetime. I currently take 6 everyday with no near end in sight for any of them and I’m 22. Part of me feels so guilty because it’s not like it’s particularly invasive of my day to day life in the way that being on dialysis or having to measure insulin ect may be and I should be more grateful for that but I feel so defeated it makes me lite
