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.
