Why Does Nobody GET It?

Pardon my language, but it is dirty, skanky, filthy bitch having pre-diabetes AND eating disorders. NOBODY in the Type 2 Diabetes group fucking gets it. I tell them I have both pre-diabetes and eating disorders, and all they seem to be able to do is tell me about diets and weight loss. I literally just snapped at one of them and I am not sorry. I feel disgusting. I feel tired. I have headaches. I am stessed and upset and I wanna take a kitchen knife and hack into my fucking flesh. NOBODY FUCKING UNDERSTANDS. GOD-FUCKING-DAMNIT. I have two different medical conditions that have an almost completely polarized philosophy regarding treatment and it is tearing me up. And NOBODY understands. I feel like I am in a glass prison and I am slammming myself against the walls screaming. I HATE THIS. Why why why are people so fucking stupid?

Hi Red,

I'm really sorry you're going through this. That's a lot for one person to handle. The fact that you're trying is what matters. I don't understand what you're going through, but I can tell you're in a lot of pain. I'm here if you want to talk.

It's really frustrating when you feel like you are spinning your wheels, you cant get anywhere, and no one understands you. I suffer from an ED for the past 10 years and its an uphill battle. I have good months even years and then bad ones. I cannot say I understand what you're going through because diabetes isnt a condition that is in the picture for me. All I can really say is I sympathize with your feeling of frustration. I can only imagine how out of control you are feeling. Im sure you have a ton of people that care for you, so focus on the good. Live day by day and try to incorporate small things into your daily routine that make you happy. Good luck.
