Thank you SO much girl it feels great to know that someone is so similar to me! I actually kind of don’t want my mom to know how I feel all the way though because I can tell him makes her so upset. What kind of horrible painful symptoms are they? Also thanks for being there I will definitely contact you! You do the same and contact me if you need to because I also understand :slight_smile:

Thank you so much, I will definitely be reading over what you said to apply it to my life and wow everyone that you said is so true about now telling everyone your inner most feelings. I’m not one to share everything but sometimes I feel that people are entitled to know certain things about me because of their place in my life and yes it’s true I just can’t share things with everyone. Some of my friends really DON’T understand what i’m going through so at times it’s best to just not tell them… I’ll have to talk to people that can empathize more. Thanks for your words and your availability to talk to me I appreciate it… I won’t bug you too much because I hate feeling like i’m bugging someone or overstaying my welcome… but thanks so much :slight_smile:

Brea-
I can relate to a lot of what you are experiencing. It is extremely hard to balance school and college life WITHOUT diabetes but to throw that in the mix can just make it darn near impossible.

Some of the things that have really helped me have to do with communication. Let your instructors know what you are going through and don't be afraid to ask for extra help. People are generally genuinely nice and willing to assist you. My instructors understand how hard it is to balance all these things and while they still hold me accountable, they understand the stress of t1 diabetes in college.

Some days I don't even want to get out of bed I am so overwhelmed with the worries of lows or highs, the constant monitoring and never-ending injections. It really helps though, to remember that we are not alone in this and there is support out there.

Don't be afraid to ask for help.
