Depressed with this disease Hi I am Connie!

I know how you feel sweetie. Although i’m only 20 going on 21. I am a full time student, working part time, while trying to keep up with my cake business on the side. It’s crazy, and all the time I feel like I wanna pull my hair out. And although my mom is used to my brother being diabetic for about 16 years, she expects me to have my life and my diabetes under control. I’m so stressed and so depressed about 90% of the time. I want control more than anything. But there are those times, when no one knows or I’m just telling people about diabetes, that I feel like I have a purpose. To talk about diabetes and how scary real it is. (i live in the valley where, to mexicans, it’s very common and people see diabetes as no big deal). And my friends, lucky for me, are very supportive and want to know as much as possible. So what I do, is try to keep my head up and look foward to everyday.
I’m still a newbie. but if you need to talk or let some steam off, I’m a good listener. If not, I wish you luck and hope you feel better.
