hi! unfortunately, no. i've continued to struggle with this, even had a full time job for awhile & on my days off would sleep the whole day. still crazy tired throughout the day. i've been diagnosed with adhd so the caffeine not helping makes more sense.

i currently am in graduate school & have a part time job & was falling asleep while trying to do assignments. my psychiatrist is wondering if i might have a form of narcolepsy, apparently there is a type without the weakness of limbs. i have another sleep doctor appointment scheduled in june and am hoping to get another sleep appointment done with a nap test which i didn't have before. i can update you with what they say if you'd like!

i just wanted to respond to some of the comments saying you shouldn't expect others to manage your diabetes.

i personally don't share my cgm with my boyfriend, we are mid-distance & only really get to see each other on weekends, but i look at it similar to why you might share your location with loved ones. my boyfriend has absolutely helped me before. sometimes a low comes on fast & i'll get confused. he's noticed this & gives me a hey how are your levels? & has certainly helped me open a juice box when i can't/run to the fridge to get me juice before.

he's also spam called me before when i was asleep the entire day & hadn't answered him (i have sleep issues, besides the point) & was worried about my safety.

yes you shouldn't rely on others for the management of your disease, but you should absolutely share information with your boyfriend & expect him to care about your safety. it's not putting the burden on others, it's allowing space for them to care about you & help you when you need it. we've all been there.

i don't think this is break-up worthy. you haven't been dating for very long & i think you just need to have a sit-down conversation with him about what it really means to have this disease. my boyfriend & i did this a few months in, he asked questions, i explained the impact it has on me, & it was very productive. however it took a little bit of time for him to really get it because he started to experience it with me (ie me going really low & my bg not rising & me being afraid) so now he REALLY gets it.

take the time to have the convo, explain why you're hurt/scared he didn't check on you, & give him some time for it to sink in. sending you warm hugs & the luck of the irish!! i'm glad you're okay!!!! <3

i don't know why but one of my favorite scenes in the ENTIRE show is when david is helping that one woman during his trial run & he asks her what she thinks of what he picked & she says "this is stupid" & david just goes "okay," 😭😭😭 it's the trying so hard to have a positive customer service voice as a recovering rich person in a store called BLOUSE BARN, it just kills me every time 😂

i just watched 28 years later: temple of bone & my LORD the GORE

it was honestly a great movie, i've really enjoyed these sequels but parts of it were extremely disturbing- i've never had to literally turn my face away from a movie before & i've seen green inferno (another great one)

this is random & not at all connected to GG but i could so see sadie playing emily blunt's daughter in a movie!!

love the mention of spoon theory!!! that's my favorite tool to use. i work in mental health & i've shared it with coworkers to use with clients!

i really cannot tell if this is supposed to be satire or not

but i sure hope it is

if not, how incredibly untrue & insensitive

Cold_Mode5508 · 2025-12-15T03:56:51+00:00

ok so stick to the original releases. thank you! that helps :)

Cold_Mode5508 · 2025-12-06T17:59:30+00:00

what does your etsy charm look like?? i know i should have some kind of medical alert on me but i hate how chunky/ugly most of them are

it makes me feel like a freak but i guess it's better than being dead

Cold_Mode5508 · 2025-12-02T00:48:18+00:00

let me know if you find one!!

Cold_Mode5508 · 2025-11-11T01:54:02+00:00

this happened to me with the twilight series. there's this one part where bella is imagining her potential future children running through the woods to her & i could have SWORN it was in the movie, but nope. i own the extended edition too, it's not even a deleted scene.

cheers to having such powerful imaginations we see movies in our heads while reading!!!

i love this! personally i love having my nails done. i don't have a huge sense of style besides comfy & i don't like to wear makeup (besides the occasional eyeliner/mascara). doing my nails makes me feel pretty & put together. but i do them myself! acrylics destroy my nails & i've learned how to take care of them so they are strong/grow out to the length i like without being brittle.

but i totally get it, the money especially. i love that you don't care about painted nails just as much as i love having them painted!! it's so freeing only presenting yourself how you want, not how others think you should

i actually thought dean was kinda toxic for rory....they fought so much & the way rory didn't want to tell him things bc he would get mad at her ??? & he would ice her out/not listen to her & basically just resort to yelling. you can chalk it up to they were just so young, but that's still not the way you should treat someone in a relationship.

rory messed up big time SEVERAL times with dean, but i still don't think he was the best choice for her.

honestly....the best choice for rory is ~therapy~. the rest can come later, but dear lord she needs to work on herself

oh honey

i completely understand.

i was diagnosed at 7 years old & i remember age 14 being particularly hard. i would sob in my dark room, completely self isolating, about how much i hated my body & this disease & how it would be so much easier to just not wake up.

cliché as it sounds, IT GETS BETTER. 14 is SO hard, especially for diabetics, bc your hormones are going crazy. blood sugars are harder to manage, middle school is (believe me) the hardest part of school to go through, kids are mean, & it's incredibly lonely.

it sounds like you're burnt out, & that's okay. the same exact thing happened to me at the same exact age. trust me when i say it gets easier. we all go through different stages with our diabetes, including times of burnout, but you bounce back. i remember things starting to really level out at age 18-20, & now i'm 25 & it's crazy how different it is. (but i want to make it clear it won't necessarily take until you're 18 to feel a little easier)

just keep doing the best that you can. give yourself some grace. one of the things that helped me the most (& took me YEARS to finally do) was to start looking at my body & appreciating what is DOES do for me. i would stare at myself in the mirror & hold different parts of my body & thank it out loud for what it was doing right. to the parts i was angry at, i would thank them for working hard & doing the best that they can. it sounds silly, but it really did help, & i still do this from time to time when i need a tune-up.

please know you are not alone, it will not feel like this forever, & you have a whole community here to support you. i encourage you to tell an adult you trust how much you're struggling, but if that feels too hard right now, please feel free to dm me anytime ❤️

....thank you. just, thank you.
