I have had diabetes for about 3 months now.  It sucks.  This has been the hardest 3 months of my life.  I have moved to a new city, I started a new job, I have no friends here, and now I am dealing with this disease.  I just feel so alone.  John has been great and if it weren't for him I'd be even more of a mess. I think I have decided to move back to Arlington. I just need my friends so bad.  You just don't realize what role your friends play until you don't have them.  This is such a lonely disease.  I feel like I'm the only one in the world who has this.  No one can truely understand what I am going through.  No one around me anyway.  There is no type of diabetes support here in Lubbock.  Everyone has type 2, BIG DIFFERENCE! I'm 24 years old and all I want to do is crawl in bed with my mommy.  I just want my mom. 
 I have made friends with my manager, she has really helped me lighten up this situation with her humor.
