RE college, tell those idiots where to stick it. It sounds like playground bullying tactics to me, and even from your teacher? Disgusting. Lemme know which college you're at and I'll personally come down there and give them a rollocking!

awwwh ty guys sooooooo much 🙂 i feel so supported im crying already.
i have to say that im on a high right now because ijust finished a great shift at work 🙂 i know it might seem like a really silly little job because its only mcdonalds but to me personally it means much much more. im not so keen for college tbh because of the things ive said but i dont want to quit without finishing the job of a levels and kind of feel like i really need to finish what i started and i am in my final year.
silentassasin - im very sorry if i didnt spell that right, yes i have told the consultant about the pain/sickness in the past but she didnt really do anything. i think i might need to make more of a fuss of it though?because it genuinely is getting worse and is getting to be a real problem now. ive been seeing the gp about it and she is very supportive so hopefully someone will sort me out. and im very sorry to hear u have neuropathy :(
regarding the pump i do want a break from it i think but much more of a little holiday. not for a whole year but just maybe a week or two. just so that i can sort of get away from it for a bit and then come back to it afresh, if that makes sense because emotionally it is very difficult for me at the moment to handle being on the pump. i know that may sound pathetic but i am feeling unsafe after my recent dka, which wasn't actually due to a pump failure but still.
thanks so much to everyone for everything,
how has everyones days been?
hope they have been well 🙂
love to ya all xxx
 
Hi Kitten. I can't help you with pumps and stuff as I am type 2 and don't understand insulin at all. I am however horrified at what you have to put up with at college. I have taught in higher education and as a tutor would go mad if any of my students behaved in this way. All tutors should be trained in equal opportunities and this type of behaviour should not be tolerated. There must be councilors at your college and you really should make an appointment to see one and tell them exactly what happens and how it makes you feel. If the tutors are ignoring it they need speaking to and maybe further training. If that doesn't help go straight to the top and make an appointment to see the principal of the college. If you have a friend or relation who could accompany you it may be a good idea. If you live near me I would come with you as this infuriates me.
 
hey if your job makes you happy then who cares where it is! There's a meet in london next month, if you can make it you should come - my first one & it's going to be great to finally meet people 🙂

thankyou soooooo very much for your support 🙂
There were two girls in my english class and they did let me sit with them but I have been off a lot and so I don't know if it will be the same when I return but I hope so 🙂. It is nice to be allowed to actually sit down somewhere lol I do try to talk to people but they just don't really seem to take to me and I don't really understand what I do to offend people or put them off, if that makes sense? I try to talk to everyone and be smiley and everything but maybe people just dislike me at college. I don't really get any support regarding this from anyone else except my boyfriend, he doesn't go to the same college as me and he does let me ring him when i have a break so I don't have to sit on my own and I have one or two friends at college that aren't in my lessons but I can talk to outside of lessons. I had friends and everything at high school and work and so I don't really know how to handle this. Maybe it is because I am very shy but my job is helping a lot with that! hmm, very excited tomorrow to be working on the 8-5 🙂 love to you all, hope everyone has a fab weekend, if u need me (which i know is well unlikely but u know) i'll check pms and everything🙂

Hi Lucy, Hope you have a good day at work 🙂 It's good that you have some friends. It can be very puzzling when people that you're only trying to bew friendly with don't seem to respond, but try to think of it as their problem, not yours. I actually think you are a stronger person because you are overcoming your shyness in order to try with them. Try not to get anxious about it or let it bother you too much and concentrate on what you are interested in and enjoy. It's usually a sign of low self-esteem and inadequacy when people choose to bully others so try to remember this as being their own particular 'health' problem that they don't really know how to deal with very well 🙂
 
Hi kitten - good to know your boy friend is supportive and great that you enjoy your job. Try getting into your classes first and then you can choose your seat. Get one bang in the middle. Good luck.🙂
 
hey thanks for the support guys 🙂 just took almost 4 grand at work working on a till in 5 hours wooohoo a record for me 🙂 just thought that id share it with you because it made me happy hehe 🙂 so what else has made everyone happy today?Xxxx
 
Hi Kitten, just want to welcome you here. I've been type 1 for 33 years and suffered at the hands of the medics for a long time. I'm a bit more forceful these days and stick up for myself a bit more but it's so hard when you are struggling. It sounds like you are doing everything right in regards to testing etc, you just need more support and perhaps you are now getting that and things can start to improve for you. Do chat on the pumpers thread as they are best placed to help you. I'm on MDI and have been for years, I wouldn't go back to 2 jabs a day but I think I can understand why you feel you need a break from the pump as I know it requires a lot of hard work initially and having just got through DKA you are worn out and frightened of it happening again. Hope we can help on here and although you joked about us not needing you, I think you are wrong, we all need each other on here and it won't be long before you find yourself giving us help from your own experiences. Looking forward to getting to know you better, love Karen.x
