you need to see.”

I went to the drug store to pick up high blood pressure medication, $146 for 30 days. I finally said no I'm not taking it.
All of the different meds are expensive. I have had to prioritize drugs. Sometimes that even means missing meals.

It undermines my identity and how I see myself
It has a social stigma attached to it
It makes me feel guilty, like it was my fault
It hinders my ability to care for others who need me
It makes me feel isolated

“I want to feel like a whole person, a full man, I've always been able to protect and defend myself
and family and now with these ailments, I'm concerned about that.”
“My libido is not nearly what it once was, and it does affect my manhood. It bothers the hell out of me.”

“Everything is being ripped apart. I'm ready to lose it. I'm at the breaking point.
Fear and anger at the same time. I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs from the highest mountain.
It's heart breaking. I feel like I’m beyond help.
I'm stressed, I feel like any moment I'm going to explode emotionally. I'm not taking any more pills.
I felt as though it was going to be a hard road. It was too overwhelming, it was so long. And there was really nothing at the end of the road.
I feel like I have failed at health.
