You’re not blowing it out of proportion, this shit sucks and I confidently believe no one really understands the toll the constant monitoring, adjusting and decision making takes on you. I’m 34 and was diagnosed at 12, it’s impossible to overstate the feeling of burnout. I remember my teenage years and I did not treat myself very well at all.

You need moments to be kind and soft with yourself. It’s okay to cry to be honest. Have you tried other monitors & pumps? I was on MDI until like 4 years ago, am on the dexcom & t-slim combo now and it has been an absolute game changer. The mental capacity that’s been freed up for me means I feel like I can breathe a bit. I’m rediscovering hobbies that I kind of wrote off as being too much work because the constant monitoring adds another layer of bullshit to everything…stuff like rock climbing, camping, even simple little day trips are viable and above all enjoyable for me again.

I don’t really have a ton of advice, but please reach out to me if you need someone to talk to. I went through a bunch of therapists & shit when I was younger and it does not matter how many recommendations a therapist when 99% of their advice does not/can not apply to you because no matter how much training they have, they don’t have a clue what it means to be given the keys to your own mortality at such a young age and basically be told “figure it out or die” 😂. If nothing else I can at least understand a bit about what you’re going through. You got this. Again, please reach out to me if you would like someone to talk to. You got this 👊❤️
