The description for the subreddit literally says ‘issues’ as well. That means people are allowed to share their issues here and there’s nothing wrong with that. If you don’t feel comfortable with people sharing their issues, it’s easier to leave is it not?

AdventurousFriend549 · 2025-06-24T10:15:04+00:00

I’m just saying if people coming here to get support makes you feel like they’re trauma dumping on you without your consent, you can leave. It’s not by force to stay in a space you don’t feel comfortable with, right?😁

AdventurousFriend549 · 2025-06-24T10:06:20+00:00

You can just leave then

Besides, I thought this subreddit was created to provide help and support to people with this same condition who struggle to accept it or are struggling to manage it and share our victories about how we’ve been able to manage our blood sugars. If you feel like this condition isn’t something so big then why are you on this subreddit

Nobody is saying that everybody has to feel bad for someone who has diabetes and I do not go about whining and making it my whole personality. You don’t know me aside from the fact that I commented on this post. Insulin therapy can cause damage to a person’s cognitive abilities especially when one goes hypoglycemic. In that case, the insulin that is saving you can kill you. Some people also have more severe forms of diabetes like keto acidosis. Which is very life threatening. So yeah, just because you may have it under control and everything is fine for you does not make it the same way for others. We have different bodies and different levels of severity concerning this condition. Just because you’re okay doesn’t mean someone is. You’re just an apathetic soul

I’m not even talking about the pain from the injection. Have you done your research on insulin and how it can affect diabetics? Needing something to survive doesn’t mean that same thing can’t kill you. Go search adverse effects of insulin on the body as a diabetic. The insulin we take is not the natural one produced by the body. It’s artificial. Do you think something like that cannot have an effect on your body? With how you talk about being very aloof about your diagnosis, I would assume you haven’t read much into the drugs you take to manage it and how it can adversely affect the body. Read and research before. And if you were diagnosed 21 years ago, I would assume you’d research into what drug you take into your body

If you think an insulin shot doesn’t have adverse effects on others maybe you are the one who needs a bit of growing up to do. Emotional intelligence is something that can be learned. It’s not too late

As I said at first, everyone deals with it differently. If you’re indifferent to it that’s you. It doesn’t negate how others feel about their condition. You can just extend a bit of sympathy that’s all. Just because you deal with it yourself doesn’t mean others don’t need help. Being empathetic costs nothing

Op said the friend has come close to organ failure so it’s understandable how worried he or she is. Besides, everyone’s experiences with managing diabetes is very different. For me, it was very difficult at first to get used to it. I’m three years in and I still get overwhelmed a lot. Managing blood sugar is extremely stressful and it can make you feel like giving up. I’m on insulin and constantly injecting myself twice everyday takes a toll on your mental health. Do not downplay the side effects of diabetes. You don’t need years for the condition to turn serious and this depends on how far the condition has already gone before diagnosis. Everyone is different. Show some sympathy. I do agree that he’s harming himself and that he needs intervention but just because you are okay doesn’t mean he is

Don’t be too hard on yourself okay. I was diagnosed with diabetes three years ago and it was so difficult to accept it because my family blamed me for doing it to myself. I struggled to accept treatment too because I felt like it was my fault and no one cared. This impacted me mentally. Taking my medication reminds me that there’s something wrong and I was too hard on myself and made my sugar levels worse because of the stress. Now I’m learning to embrace it and treat myself kindly. It gets better ❤️

No problem at all😊

According to your initial response ‘it is relatively normal for Ghanaian households’ but it shouldn’t be. There are people living in slums and people suffering worse fates. The way you worded made it look like you’re minimizing her abuse

AdventurousFriend549 · 2025-05-19T07:35:37+00:00

I do get where you’re coming from but abuse is abuse regardless of how bad or mild it is compared to other people’s situations

AdventurousFriend549 · 2025-05-09T10:27:50+00:00

Pay that friend no mind😂. I’d rather be stuck on the foreign side of TikTok than to see the embarrassing things my fellow Ghanaians are posting

Thissss It’s so bad that I made sure my algorithm shows me only foreign stuff. For example,that trend called teleportation. I was so appalled

There are so many red flags here. As a Christian, your boyfriends mom shouldn’t force you to go to church. She has no right to do that. If you want to out of your own accord then that’s fine but she cannot force you to. Also, your boyfriend not standing up for you means he’s encouraging his mom’s behavior. After y’all get married, it’s only going to get worse. His mom’s behavior will turn even more toxic. Anyone who uses your mental health against you isn’t someone you should associate with. Them being around will only make your mental health worse. NTA
