Not mad but sick

Writing can make you realise that what you have experienced in real life has many more meanings that the obvious ones.My nephew was driving me on the Motorway with his 3 year old son.When the child asked was it far it seems to have reminded me of my father and how wonderful it was before he got ill, when I was 4 years old.Then. for 2.5  years he was labelled as work shy.He died from advanced lung cancer a little while later
I am convinced much “mental” illness is physical.
I am pretty sure my nephew is healthy but you never know….. his close friend is very ill.
In 2002 I thought I was losing my mind.I kept ringing Thames Water with anxieties about the drains.They were very kind.Then I got worried about the electricityEventually my new GP found I had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism  10 years before and was likely to go into a coma.For some reason, the doctor I had then had forgotten to get in touch with me.You can go crazy with it too.It is very awful feeling like that.I saw her quite a lot so how she missed telling me the test result seems very peculiar.
After I began treatment I was out buying new clothes and forgot all about the drains.But I shall always be grateful to Thames Water.
