I write rubbish, and my pharmacophobia


….do you know who eats alone? Only vultures do. Humans eat with other humans…. . Since you were gone, my life-long companion, I … I eat alone.

Since you were gone my one true friend … I became friendless ….. I made a blog to talk to strangers on.

Our friend, Mrs. A, called me today. She gave me the headache you always said her calls give … but for another reason … she did what I dreaded and avoided for weeks…. she asked me about you….

I stopped listening to Rachmaninoff … since you -my only true equal- were gone …. I can’t read, and I write rubbish.

Since you were gone -my day and night nurse, I go to my hospital appointments alone…. I hear good news….. alone ….. I have to explain to strangers my episodes of pharmacophobia ……. I have to explain…. while almost going thru one……. Since you were gone I buy the medicine alone, I agonize whether to take it or not to for hours and hours ….alone , since you were gone, I don’t take any of my medications cause I fear going thru a panic-attack alone, I decide to seek help from a professional psychiatrist but then I decide not …. Cause I don’t wanna go alone.


P.S.: Pharmacophobia- Fear of taking medicine, or drugs.

    Hello! This is an amazing poem. I came across it while surfing the net for information on "pharmacophobia."

    Do you suffer from pharmacophobia? If so, could you please e-mail me? Just tonight I realized there was an actual diagnosis of the fear of medicine. I broke out in tears at the discovery. If there is a dagnosis, then there must be a hope of a cure! I would like to find out more about the treatment there is for this phobia. It has affected my life & my health in such a great way.

    My e-mail adress is:
    neverlandfaerie@gmail.com

    I would truly appreciate you e-mailing me.

    Thank you for posting this poem!
