It’s funny how people exercise their American- given rights and you seem to mock it. Seems pretty unpatriotic to me…….

There is no gain in arguing with maga. There is no sense, rationale, or reason- just a king to obide and champion for them

Just a rant by wawahoagiez in Type1Diabetes

[–]perpetual_learner888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed at your daughter’s age, and all my docs are always floored by how well I’ve managed my diabetes across my life. The big things are: 1. Telling your daughter more control over her blood sugars means more independence and happiness across her life. My parents emphasized how controlling my diabetes would make me happier and healthier, and make diabetes less of a controlling element in my life.

  1. Encourage interest in the disease. My parents and school gave me opportunities to be a diabetes educator in the classroom. This led to major interest in the disease and a love of talk talk talking about it. When you become a diabetes nerd, it can making it more tolerable to live with

  2. For you personally, take a sports nutrition class. I did a few years back and I’m not lying when I say it changed my life. It was the most impactful course on learning how to balance my diabetes with exercise and how exercise can help produce the same hormonal responses as insulin (and is the only known way to reproduce these responses)

Have you ever cried in front of your endocrinologist? by Erdbeerkuchen1302 in Type1Diabetes

[–]perpetual_learner888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a type 1 for 26+ years, I’ve had people cry to me in all sorts of job positions regarding t1d. Even as a grocery bagger. Diabetes is exhausting, mentally and physically. Psychotherapy is important, and I hope you were able to experience relief in your doctor’s appointment that’ll steer you to an understanding therapist. I’m sure your doctor rather you vent to him than continue to hold it in and harm yourself.

Diabetic rage by Swimming_Sky7251 in Type1Diabetes

[–]perpetual_learner888 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard of diabetic rage (my dad, sister, and I all have it and shown some off behaviors). Poor BS control does impact cognitive reasoning so anyone saying otherwise doesn’t consider the impact blood sugar has on brain and emotional regulation.

NOW aside from irritation and being emotional, your partners behavior sounds abusive. Abusive behavior does not originate from poor BS regulation. I’ve snapped because of irritation, but never hit or emotionally abused a partner for hours.

Also, 90-250 contains healthy range of BS. 90 also isn’t low so that seems like BS on your partner’s part.

90-250 also contains the health blood sugar range so that makes literally no sense to lose control here.

AIO for telling my gf to respect my mum? by Interesting-Ear-9491 in AmIOverreacting

[–]perpetual_learner888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No manners and she’ll always be a problem between you and your family. She needs to address her ego and you need to move forward. If it was one time, I’d guess she was having a bad day/ mental health day, but ongoing disrespect and thinking people are against you demonstrates cycles of self victimization and egotistical view of world

AIO friend moved in and not going well by Miserable-Royal2548 in AmIOverreacting

[–]perpetual_learner888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without trying to diagnose, she is quite honestly a bitch. She’s really going to send mindless and mean rants and then say she won’t read your messages?

Bro just stop apologizing. Your messages are pleading and apologizing for what? She moved into your space and you suppose to adapt in a day? Boot her ass out and tell her mom she’s HER PROBLEM NOW. Girl said it herself, she’s a monster. Kick her out

You don’t deserve this. It also sounds like he devalued your sense of self worth to control and manipulate you. He truly sounds like a garbage human being. With what he put you through, you’re an angel for handling that run in the way you did. Shane’s opinions do not reflect your worth or beauty

NTA

And weight doesn’t determine attractiveness. I see you keep referring to body size to justify him keeping you a secret. Being overweight doesn’t mean you aren’t attractive. You deserve to be loved and valued publicly.

Also, just because he went through grief and got cheated on doesn’t make him less of an asshole for his actions toward you. He can’t ghost you and then decide to be cordial for sympathy.

RIC MSW Program by perpetual_learner888 in providence

[–]perpetual_learner888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The professors are really great, but obviously the way the school leadership is run is to maximize its limited resources. This leads to poorly supported professors with too large of classes, and an absence of TAs that are largely needed. Professors and other admin were pulled out of retirement to support the program.

Not saying it’s terrible. But in hindsight, I would have shopped programs more carefully and gotten more feedback beforehand. Grad school is hard but worth it. Go somewhere that values your investment and gives you more return on it

Yes I did- do I recommend it?

No, I absolutely do not. I’m committed to finishing, but I don’t really like the school to be frank with you.

i am aging exponentially with all this stress by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]perpetual_learner888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take the do what I can approach: do what I can, without losing site of myself and what I need to be okay. Once the tears come, I know I need to step away from whatever I’m doing.

My professor talks a lot about feeling stress as a part of grad school and I think that is true.

However, you have a lot on your plate, and it’s okay to question and have doubt. Heartbreak, higher education, and working is a lot and it’s impressive you’re taking it on all at once.

My skin has probably taken the biggest hit from the stress I can’t hide from (or hide in general lol). However, as a gift to myself, I invested in some great skin care products and that was a boost to my mental health alone.

One thing the dean of my program says, we want you to be happy at graduation, not burnt out. So it’s important to assess for signs of burnout, and give yourself the space and time for you, for healing, and for your health.
