WHY ME!!!!!!!
text


WHY ME! I ask that every time i stick a needle in me to inject myself with insulin.It's so unfair and It hurts.It would be bad enough if i had to do it once a day, but 4 times.I hate it sometime and It gets really sore after a while.

Anyway i am AIMEE and i have had diabetes since November 2007.I suppose i should be greatful as it makes sense for all the weight i lost,and drinking and eating that i went through, but i dont feel greatful,i feel angry and confused as one day i was normal and the next i was a diabetic.WHY ME!.

Sometimes i just cry, and sometimes i feel like i am the only one, but i'm not really. Before i found it hard, but now i write how i feel in my diary and it makes me feel much better, or somtimes i talk to my freinds about it,although they don't know how it feels but it's just better to get it all out because the longer you keep it in the more i feel upset and angry.

Well i am greatful i suppose as there are people in this world born with missing limbs, blind and deaf.WHY THEM! At least all i have to do is inject myself,its really not that bad,i still eat food and have plenty of choice.It only takes a couple of minutes and then i'm done.Oh well just remember that its ok to be angry and be annoyed but dont let it get you down, its really not that bad compared to some other people's conditions and the doctors and nurses are there to help.
