#coping with diabetes

[startrekin-it]

Woke up last night with two hypos that i barely had the brain activity to fix, and i no longer own Jelly Babies. Desperately hoping we don’t have a repeat performance

#i am at my limit #diabetes #im so fog brained and miserable rn #just gotta do my dissertation and then i can think about being a normale person who interacts with people again #i feel like I am rotting interally right now #i dont care about my degree #i dont care about an awful lot at the moment in terms of my own wellbeing outside of the diabetes #im quite frankly failing at socially interacting regularly enough that im going to start crying about it #and all in all i would say i am not having a good time rn #but on the PLUS side i have a job now #job = more dr pepper to cope 🙏

I am. tired. and struggling to function. and I need a hug

#everything is a lot n I’m not coping n I dont have the capability to get the support I need #i need someone to come have an admin day n help me apply to ndis and for food stamps and to fix my energy bill etc #bc i cant do it alone n i cant make phone calls but i also cant keep living like this #also i wish i had a vet friend who could help me w magnus’ diabetes stuff #im a Mess about that situation rn #i keep having huge meltdowns n needlng constant support but i dont have people w the time n capacity to talk to me all day or come help me #and all my struggles are accompanied by the thumpthumpthump of my neighbours blasting music every day #i wanna be asleep rn (wanted to sleep 3hrs ago) but i cant bc of the noise #screaming and crying. everything happens so nuch #post

everyday my diabetes burnout gets worse 👍

#i’ve spent all day fighting to get my prescription filled and had to make a million different phone calls. #except half the time the people i spoke to didn’t even listen to me about what was going on!!! #like i’m so tired!!!! why do i try so hard to take care of myself when the healthcare system clearly doesn’t give a shit or care to help!!! #i’ve been doing this for nineteen years and. what’s the fucking point!!! #god!!!! #anyways diabetes burnout is very real and i wish people talked about it more because i’ve been really struggling but have no resources for #how to cope with it or how to make it stop #i can just feel myself slipping and it sucks. it really really sucks. #diabetes tag #they do be rambling

Where have I been?

Image: cartoon of several people sitting in chairs. Group therapy. I have several chronic conditions: mental health, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, hypothyroidism, hypertension. I am on 9 medications. I was wondering if there is any type of holistic treatment that could help, and searched different terms in my insurance directory. I came upon a mental health facility that is holistic and…

Sometimes living with my mother is tolerable and sometimes she says shit that makes me want to bash my head against the wall

#bitch???? the fuck do you mean you’d rather me eat nothing that ‘unhealthy’ food #are you trying to help w my speed run in developing an eating disorder?? #I got too close back in college n I’m trying to ward off those kind of eating habits again. and you’d rather me not eat snacks when I can’t #bring myself to eat an actual meal. okay #context: when I’m stressed I don’t eat and back in college I was super fucking overwhelmed and ate barely enough to function #to the point where a few people picked up on how little I was eating in the cafe/how skinny I was getting #maybe the term ‘eating disorder’ is a little. harsh? feels too big for what I’m describing but it’s def bad coping mechanisms that I’m tryin #trying to work thru #also she doesn’t know how diabetes works (standard ‘you’ll get it by eating lots of sugar!’ kinda shit) and won’t fucking acknowledge that m #a good part of it has to do w genetics #I should not have shared by churro with you. #*my

Starting Over...

Starting over isn't always easy...

It’s been a while, and a lot has changed! Wow. It’s been crazy, and I’m bummed that I lost my momentum with the site. However, things have started to return to a state of normalcy, and I was able to re-design the site and make a new logo. I have a better plan of direction this time around. And what better time to start documenting my story but the new year when we’re all setting goals and…

Lets go with.... 🔶 and 🤒 for Seph.

🔶- does your oc know cpr? do they have any other medical expertise?

Seph doesn't know CPR, but does have some medical experience! He knows more along the lines of potion and elixir making, alongside with some basic first aid, as well as some more detailed stuff involving colder climates like treating frostbite and/or hypothermia partially due to it being taught to him from the environment he lives in, partially from his own personal experience

🤒- does your oc get sick easily?

Yes, and no? His curse makes it hard to get sick off of heat-related afflictions but homie could get a cold off of eating ice cream.

For non-temperature related sickness, he does have an allergy to pollen which can indirectly cause sinus infections during the spring, but otherwise, doesn't get sick too easily. Stomach aches and bugs especially are rare. Which for the most part, lucky for him, because his curse tries to act like his immune system sometimes and attack any foreign things it might find, and can't distinguish a virus from a malicious entity trying to possess him.

He does have the tools now that helps him manage his health these days though! His friends helped him find a way to passively pump elixirs into him to help manage his symptoms to prevent sickness or other health issues stemming from his curse ^^

#ask answered #answered asks #oc: Seph #his curse is just a “cooler” version of how i've had to deal with pancreatitis and diabetes growing up #as i got into adulthood it really got bad and couldn't distinguish shark week cramps from genuine pancreatitis triggers #so i was in the hospital a LOT #luckily or unluckily for him his triggers were more magical/energy based #his elixir pump is highkey based on my insulin pump and has a sensor for monitoring his body temp more directly #reason why his Divine Curse doesn't kill him tho is because he also has a curse from The Dead where he cannot die #also lowkey based on how people irl joke about how i am hard to kill #so yeah in a way he became my coping character lmao #health talk #frostbite #hypothermia #so sorry for basically dumping a chunk of my life story in the tags #cyz rambles

I'm sad.

My brain hurts.

My back hurts.

My kids are grumpy.

I don't know how to make this better on a Sunday.

I'm anxious.

I miss feeling at home.

I'm making chili and fry bread for dinner.

I want a diet Pepsi.

I want to sit on my big comfy futon and pop in a DVD I've had since 2004.

I want to pass out blankets and snacks after dinner.

I want to let my kids stay up late just so we can hang out.

I just want to feel like everything is okay for awhile.

I want to feel at home.

I want things to get better.

What Are The signs And symptoms Of diabetic Fatigue?

Ways to cope with fatigue and diabetes

➭ The only way to deal with fatigue is to address your symptoms and concerns with your doctor. However, following these steps can help you in the journey of diabetes.

➭ Give specific details to your doctor– Try to give every particular detail to your doctor whenever you visit his place. Tell him if you feel tired even to go on a walk or for grocery shopping. Let your doctor know that extreme tiredness is preventing you from doing simple activities that are important to keep you healthy. ➭ Maintain a diary- How many trips of toilets you have had at nights? Are you skipping meals because you are too tired to stand and prepare them? Note every single detail including your daily habits and use it while talking to a doctor and discuss the concerns what make diabetes harder for you.

➭ Approach a therapist- Taking help of a health care specialist or a therapist who is an expert in improving your mental state can help you lead a healthy life. Alone, you might feel anxious, stressed, and depressed. This depression can lead to fatigue, and you may have a lack of energy. Getting professional help will help you take out of the situation and enables you to lead an active life.

➭ Aim for quality sleep- If you are not sleeping well at night, you are going to feel tired the next day. Try modifying your daily routine and create a non-disturbing environment can help you get more rest.
