Why can’t I have a bad day?
I appreciate and I am humble for everything Allah (GOD) has given me but some days are hard just like today.
I have responsibilities as a daughter,sister, wife and most importantly as a mother but I also have a chronic illness that I can’t ignore even if everyone else does.
When I address and admit I am having a bad day,I don’t want to get judged.
I want a hug, understanding and someone to just listen to me because it’s not easy.

Consider this as hug #1. I’m certain there will be more.

I’m sorry for your troubles, @Osob. I hope that someone close to you can begin to see just how difficult it can be to live with diabetes. A little empathy can sure go a long way. You’re smart to reach out to this community. We get it! Our biggest challenge is to figure out how to transmit empathy across the internet. A simple hug is often all that’s needed to take the sting out of our difficulties. Consider this another hug!

I know how frustrating that can be. Sometimes, you just can’t be everything everyone else wants or needs - it’s all you can do to go through the motions. Those are the times when a little understanding can go a long way!! (that’s a hug 
)

Here’s a hug from me, too! Also, here’s a free pass to take 10 minutes to yourself and do whatever you want. Even if you just sit and feel sorry for yourself!

You will never be judged by me for being human (or a diabetic). Hang in there and consider yourself hugged!

Thank you Judy.
It’s just everything getting on top of me and diabetes not playing ball.
Today I am just taking easy watching movies with my girls. Closing the door to the world for a day
Hope your day is bright and beautiful.

Osob, when I feel like that I just get on the floor with my dog, (who has no expectations of me except to keep her water bowl full and a meal once a day) and let her jump all over me and kiss me and let me pat her until my arm is ready to fall off. We both feel better after!

Amen to that. Animals have a wonderfully grounding, centering effect. I can’t imagine living without them.

Hugs to you Osob, Sorry you had a bad day- maybe you should take more days off to watch movies and just ignore the people who don’t get it, even when you aren’t having a bad day. Let them fend for themselves for a day or two - maybe they’ll get it then.

Aww that’s lovely, I just spent the next day at home with the girls. Eating popcorn and watching movies. It was a pleasure.
Thank you
