acceptance.......

[rustee2011]

Hi Guys - Hope everyone is doing Okay. Going through a depressive period at the mo, will post more of that in the Off the subject column. On another note I have decided not to hide the fact that I HAVE DIABETES TYPE 2! I have decided to accept it - fully come to terms with it. Don't hide to tell anyone who asks about health issues, don't hide it from work colleagues. I used to say I was diagnosed with diabetes. I realise that is a form of denial. I will say I have diabetes. Feels better that I said that

acceptance is a very important step in taking control. Things will start improving for you now.

Good on you Rustee, never be ashamed of what you have and who you are, if people like you, then they will care, if they dont, well sod them, who wants people like that in there life anyway.

Having diabetes is nothing to be ashamed of... I spent a large part of my life adter being diagnosed as feeling angry at everyone that I was a diabetic - how is that fair? Why me? But actually once I'd accepted that I am a diabetic, and I do have it inject and watch what I eat etc etc then life became a whole lot easier! and as Megga says - your friends/family won't care as they love you for who you are and those that are bothered by it are not worth wasting your time with! You are still YOU... xx
