Thank you so much for the compliments. I'll have to check out the other sites you mentioned. And sometimes it is hard to remember that there are others like me. I think that's why I've glommed on to this site all of a sudden. We as humans crave to find people like us. I hope you continue to find peace yourself!

I bet it's not helped much by the extreme hormone levels. I'm glad you were able to get through it. Great job!

Okay, yeah, I'll give you that. I know I'm hard on myself. But, it's only myself. And I have been going to therapy for almost 5 years for it, so at least I'm trying to help myself that way! :)

Some of the comments below are so depressing. This article raised my hope a lot, which was then dashed...so maybe I should quit reading the comments!

Well thanks a bunch for that, jerk. We're not ENTITLED to it? I might accept it if you said we're not going to have it, because that's true, but ENTITLED? Fuck that.

It has been so helpful for me, because the comments are positive and promote being happy. Reading everyone's struggles gives me a lot of insight into my own struggles.

I too got the early diabetes a year ago at age 29. I'm extremely fucked up because of it all as well. Supremely fucked up. And I still don't care about my blood sugar. I have denial about diabetes. I know full well all the crap it does to the body, but honestly I don't care. I want it to kill me because it would…

Yes. Thank you. This all makes me feel like shit because I've never been propositioned. Ever! I guess it's because I'm fat and ugly.

Zero. Zero! NEVER has this happened to me.

Thank you! :) I do feel better. I've been airing my complaints a lot on this website so I probably seem needy. But it has been helping me a lot, in fact. Even with freakouts like this one, I've gained more perspective on myself in the past couple weeks than I ever have before.

Plus, for people who DO have diseases, it only further hurts us. Not only do we have disgusting bodies, but we're also detestable because we allowed ourselves to get diabetes. Shame on us and I'll go back to hiding in my apartment in a hoodie and sweatpants under 5 blankets like God intended.

Oooh, glad to find any forum like that. And thanks for the well wishes. :)

Congratulations on the baby! And thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it. I forgot to mention that I have diabetes too. That actually means that my blood sugar is way better than it was because I take insulin (and Metformin) and supposedly keep track of my blood sugar. It makes life friggin' 100x harder, but I…

Great news!

Oh geez, I forgot to mention I also have diabetes. So I actually take insulin shots and have a prescription for Metformin, though I have issues remembering it. I'll try to remember better. Actually, now that I have this on my mind about Metformin, I bet I'll do better with it. For the past little while my mind has…

I wonder how this relates to PCOS. I feel like I already have a low chance of pregnancy right now (age 30) because of that, and that's not even considering I have to first find someone who feels like they want to have a baby with me, which even if I find right now, a baby wouldn't probably happen for a while. I can't…

It never even occurred to me that I'd be anything like Disney princesses. Weird. To me they were adults or teenagers. They had relationships and marriages, which is something that children don't have, I guess. I sort of feel lucky that they didn't influence me that way, but I ended up with more body issues than…

Yeah, a private jet in and of itself is pretty great. Most of what I'd require involves comfort. I like flying and I like going to airports. I almost would just take first class on a regular flight instead.

I also had the public computer thing for a while. It was great as a deterrent to things. I used to sneak down late at night and hope the beeps and stuff didn't wake up my parents. The keyboard was super loud, too. I wonder if they did that on purpose. I didn't chat really, only email in those days and I didn't know…

Yeah, the one where she's on the roof is the worst. Then on this week's episode, they must have mentioned it to her because she was about to have a cryface in the elevator and she remained a regularface. It was so great.
