I was receiving new diagnoses.
And it was very disorienting.
I was so angry because for those of us that were raised to be good, when we feel that we are in any way disappointing anyone on the outside,
It is torture on the inside.
And for me, these diagnoses were happening.
All of the doctors were individual because they were all kind of specialists in their own way.
And there was only one doctor that I had visited when I had lived in LA.
who was able to sort of approach health holistically.
And I know you've had a lot of those experts on, and I know that a lot of the community has doctors in different capacities and modalities, and this was one of those.
When I went to him with everything that you just listed, his provocation to me was, why are you killing yourself one wrong choice at a time?
I was so fucking angry.
I felt that way.
And as I write in the book, I was like, fuck you.
But that was an inside voice.
I didn't tell him to fuck off, even though we're close enough now where he'd be like... I feel like more men could stand to hear that in their lives.
I love you.

perceiving me as doing wrong, that I was disappointing him, that I was disappointing the doctors, that I was responsible.
I was really defensive about it.
