Hi. Im Heidi I'm 42 and been a recovered cutter for over a decade now. Im not bragging its the truth I come from the same places you do. ONly I have deeply seeeded issues that I feel are dire. My kidneys will eventually stop working if I dont prodouce my own insulin anymore. I no longer carry the gene that produces healthy red cells, and im deterorating slowly by going blind.I feel my way around in the brightest time of the day, and still stumble. Im always recovering from something I did accidently to harm myself a broken leg a broken foot, ect. ..I need help. Im asking my friends what is a recovering cutter of a decade to do with needles now to arm myself against diabeties. Sides changing my eating habbits using a clean neeedle and taking care of my mentla health today as I go to my shrink to explain once again Im a recovering something or other, and Im having issues with my meds. Need a change. I think its the answer. I don't think he has the perscription but whatever he has up his sleves I hope he uses today. I need to be shrunk.
I think you need to figure out a way to gain control, you might not be able to stop it, but their ways of dealing and coming to terms with what diabetes is doing to your body.
It sounds like you have got friends that are willing to help you.You recovered and didn't self harm for over a decade, that make you strong, find that strength, and stay strong.
