Unwell

Faolan

I’ve been away for a little bit. I was kind of unwell at Christmas. Not like super unwell but just really tired and sooo thirsty all the time. I had the shakes and was just feeling a bit crap. It kept getting worse and worse and I was feeling brutal at the end of December .

Anyway, I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and I feels a bit better now im medicated but also it’s kinda stressful. I don’t really know much about it and im still learning how to manage it with my medication and im a pure baby when it’ll comes to needles😂. I hate serious stuff. I’m not a very serious person which you probably know lol.

Anyway I’m a little bit disappointed . It’s kind of stopped me from doing my exercises and stuff for now and that was something that I was enjoying. But on the plus side I was very bored in hospital so read a book. I enjoyed it so I might read more often now lol.

I think I’m trying to stay positive and just get on eith it but also I think I feel a bit sad. I don’t even know why. Maybe just that I have to live with this forever . I’m already having highs and lows and feeling weaker than I used to and that makes me feels a bit down.

Ah well life’s not all that bad. I am hoping for a more positive 2025 .

hahaha i am super dramatic and do personally feel that i hold the title for the biggest baby when it comes to needles!!!! maybe we can compromise and you can have the title for the south and i can have it for the north🤣at the age of 21, i still take calpol rather than growing up and just swallowing a tablet lol if i have to take a tablet i have to hide it in a sausage or something the way you do for a bloody dog!!!!

eylah

hugs @Faolan sending you so many hugs. i rly hope things start to improve for you bc you deserve a happy life. i hate needles i feel you on that one im always here if you need to talk or just to talk utter shit. i care abt you a lot

I was wondering how you’d been, I’m so sorry. I suppose it’s for the best that they’ve found out what’s wrong and now hopefully you’ll feel better in a lot of ways. But then again it’s probably not easy to hear you’ve got something that lasts forever like that. (But well done for going to the doctors!) I’m not sure what you mean when you say you feel weak, but this isn’t your fault. You don’t have any control over it. Plenty of people, and plenty of big tough men I’m sure, have diabetes and it doesn’t mean anything about them as people. You’ll be ok. 🫂
