me trying to tell my british friends i have depression: lads, this madman’s feeling a little sadman

“One of my plays is getting produced!” “What’s it about?” “So there’s this guy, and he really loves this one girl— she’s the girl of his dreams. But she’s going off to college. So he applies to every nearby college, just so he can be close to her. But the only college that accepts him is a clown college. But here’s the thing— he’s terrified of clowns.”

THINGS ABOUT DIABETES NO ONE TALKS ABOUT

So, as I live my life independent of my pancreas, I have noticed my body doing some DUMB SHIT, and every time i think “what the hell is wrong with me??” It can usually be traced back to diabetes. So today I’m going to talk about those things.

YEAST INFECTIONS. Lowered immunity+high (or just out of whack) blood sugars can cause your genitals to take up baking. Invest in Garlic, Probiotics, and Miconazole. ALSO: Lotrimin athletes foot powder!! It helps treat fungal infections of all types, provides great relief, and is completely safe to use *down there*

SLOW HEALING TIMES. Okay this one people talk about, but they don’t really make it clear. Everyone is different, but usually my healing time is average healing time + 4-5 days. You’re gonna take FOREVER to recover from things. Vitamin c helps a bit with illnesses and Arnica Montana helps drastically reduce healing times.

DEPRESSION. Depression and diabetes often go hand and hand. If you are feeling more down then usual/lackluster/not feeling at all, talk to someone about it. Sometimes even just having 1 person you can talk to about how your feeling can help.

ABLEISM. This is something that gets talked about a lot in diabetic communities, but not enough by people who don’t have the condition. Because of the way out society views diabetes (Eat too much sugar you get fat and develop diabeetus) you’re going to be subject to a lot of bullshit. People are gonna blame you or your parents for your condition. People are gonna recommend herbal miracle cures for you (they don’t work). People are gonna make assumptions about what you can and cannot eat and take it upon themselves to police you. People are going to accuse you of doing drugs. People are going to ask you to put away your needles. People are gonna try to confiscate your pump. People are gonna make snide and ignorant comments about you. And these people can be anyone; from strangers, to friends, to lovers, to family. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO STAND FOR IT. You don’t have to fight, either, but you do NOT have to take any of this from any one.

Alright that’s about it from me. PLEASE read and PLEASE REBLOG. Feel free to add your own advice to the post. Let’s give new diabetics a leg up on this thing.
