I was in a public bathroom with my mother. We must have been at some convention or big function. It was just us two in the bathroom and we were talking. I was about to step into the stall when I heard my mother say, as she was picking through her many pills to take for her various health conditions, “... because I know you like to take a lot of extra of these kinds of pills…“ I looked at her probing the pills she was holding in the plastic container in her hand and said, “ no, you don’t have to worry about that ever again. I am not like that anymore. “ I didn’t know if she believed me but I was at least somewhat happy to know that I really meant it and had no desire to overmedicate or take any more meds for my anxiety and pain. I have in real life been working on meditation and come to the realization that too much medication even if it is prescribed to a person, can separate them from their spirit, a very distressing thought.
