I'm new here!

Hi, my name is Thedesignshed1. I'm here because I have severe arthritis in my hands and fybromyalgia, I’m suffered from complex PTSD and live with generalised anxiety disorder. I am a single parent and carer for 3 children with disabilities, my oldest is 19 with autism, ocd, type 1 diabetes, and challenging behaviour, my 17 year old has epilepsy and my 15 year old has autism and global developmental delay. I’m exhausted all the time and find it hard to get any relaxation time, life has got easier over the years but I’m getting older and more tired. I’d like to put the fun back into life and feel like I’m living instead of just existing.

Motivational Monday- Not About Choice, but How We Cope

“Diabetes is not a choice, but how I live with it is.” - Brett Andreas

Diabetes isn't a choice, but how you cope and manage it is completely in your hands. Having a healthy diet, regular exercise, stress management, medication, if needed, and monitoring blood sugar levels can all improve someone's quality of life. The good news is that living with diabetes doesn't have to be a limitation, but rather an opportunity for you to make positive changes for your well-being.
