troubles taking care of myself
 

Hello I'm new on this...not new to being diabetic. Been diabetic for 12 years now and type 1. I did good for a while taking my insulin and checking regularly. But things happened moved out of state and things fell apart. I've been struggling to get back on track to doing that again and I've been to the hospital a handful of times. I don't want any problems due to me being young. I'm scared it'll happen. I really am just posting to talk to someone who else who is diabetic and has had it for a long time as well. I really don't want to hear the same old suck it up and deal with it or it's life. I feel like I'm alone and I know I'm not, I just want someone to say they understand and have compassion and not let me be by myself on this. I'm not asking for sympathy I'm a very strong individual but just a shoulder or someone to vent to. I don't want advise either on how to take control of myself or take care I know how to, just someone to speak to. So this is me asking for help this one time.

I know what you're going through and I know how much it sucks. I also know how tired one gets of hearing you have to suck it up. If it gets too much for you, email me at gventer at gmail dot com. We can BOTH vent!

I only just noticed you post name (johnsgirl). If you're a minor it would be best if you didn't email me - it could create the wrong impression - even though I would really have liked to give you some support. God bless you in you struggles!

Welcome to the Forum, JohnsGirl! :)

No I'm not a minor I'm 24 years old and I'm sorry I didn't say my name. Had a rough day. My name is atina and thank you! I could really use the vent and talking and getting my anger out 😜

Hi Atina!

I've only had to deal with diabetes for about 5 months, but I hear where you're coming from.

Keeping your numbers in line can be hard work, and it's something you can never get away from... you have to be aware of what you eat and drink, how often you exercise, etc. every day. It gets tiring, and there are many days when I just want to not have to worry about it for a while.

Hang in there, you can get trough this difficult time!

Thank you. I know it's hard and it sucks but it's part of my life, a daily routine. I just really wanna vent and talk. I didn't do it when I got diagnosed when I was 12. And I'm feeling it's reprocusions. Thanks for commenting

Nice to meet you
 

Thank you for share this!
