Gratitude

I have been sober for over four years now and I am so grateful today to have my family back in my life. Three of those four years I was institutionalized and prior to that I was in and out of active addiction for a long time not really respecting my family or myself because of the things I did in active addiction, plus I am a T1D and have been for 30 years now. I am so grateful to be alive today and I am not really sure how, but here I am. I am grateful. Thank you!

When do you stop looking?

I've been chronically ill most of my life. And I've tried A LOT of different things to help or find answers.

But I'm tired.

Worn out.

Exhausted.

Grieved.

I wonder if it's time to stop working so hard to eke out a possibility of feeling better, and just let things be as they are. Live as I am, and let it be enough.

But I'm scared that that's giving up.

Or...is it giving in? Surrendering my denial that this is how it is?

I'd love to know what my Mighty family thinks of this.

Hello 👋🏼

Hi everyone! I am new to this group. I live with Type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, anemia and chronic kidney disease. I also have anxiety as a result of living with these conditions. Consequently I am exhausted most of the time and struggle to accomplish things in my life. Nice to meet everyone and hear everyone’s stories here.

New kid’s on the block

I’m new. Married with just us and two cats. We live in a travel trailer, while I’m out of work. Recently chased down a bunch of new diagnoses after 5 years.

Lupus, fibromyalgia, degenerative disk disease along with ongoing Type 1 diabetes and anxiety.

I enjoy reading posts and stories on here. More of a lurker than a poster.

Bye.

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.

Motivational Monday: From Scared & Overwhelmed to Confident

“At first it will be scary, but you will get used to it. You will start to do braver things”- Anonymous

You may feel overwhelmed and scared when first diagnosed with diabetes, but with time and proper management, you will become more comfortable and confident in handling the condition. As you learn more about diabetes and how it affects your body, you may begin to take on more challenges and make bolder decisions, not letting the condition hold you back from living your life to the fullest.
