I didn't once think of this as something shameful. Diabetes can be so hard to manage. Add to that the everyday stresses of being a regular person and then the stresses of being that age, I can see quite clearly how easy that situation can get serious.<br /><br />So thank you for sharing this. It is so easy to get to that point, but your story and your current perspective will hopefully make it a little less easy for some.Lorraine of "This is Caleb..."https://www.blogger.com/profile/09315834486942916744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-67696550017246450192010-08-31T14:38:05.007-07:002010-08-31T14:38:05.007-07:00I think this is a lot more common that people thin...I think this is a lot more common that people think and that through experiences like yours others are becoming more aware and CWD will be able to learn from it without having to "test" it out.

Your raw honesty speaks to my heart. I stand in awe of your strength and courage to share with us and am grateful for you...and your story. There is no room for shame here. You are amongst friends. We do not judge. It is easy to understand how Diabulemia could cross a young woman's mind in a culture where thin, skinny are promoted so heavily in the media.<br /><br />Your co-camper's suicide is so tragic - UGH. It must have been a tortuous death. It seems like it haunts you somewhat b/c it hits a little too close to home. I am glad you are here! I am glad you started taking care of yourself. I am glad you are my friend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-6897994280937752132010-08-30T21:00:34.550-07:002010-08-30T21:00:34.550-07:00This is the stuff we need to know.

Reading this I wish I could go back in time and hug you, tell you how beautiful you are.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this. You are a warrior. You have overcome, and you should be proud. Your story will help others. There is no shame in that!Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752883120541646427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-55907888584001709802010-08-30T20:51:08.605-07:002010-08-30T20:51:08.605-07:00I just want to take a moment to thank you for bein...I just want to take a moment to thank you for being so transparent. I feel like, as in all walks of life, there's always an area of topic the people tend to touch upon without really diving into. <br /><br />You're right....this is something that we, as parents, need to hear about. It's painful, but necessary.<br /><br />For what it's worth, I love the motives of your heart here. I know it must be hard to let go of the shameful emotions you describe that are connected to this period of your life. Please know that I do not judge you, and I look forward to sharing this journey.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704298016041843194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-26092382890369488872010-08-30T20:46:29.778-07:002010-08-30T20:46:29.778-07:00Okay, that above comment was actually from me sign...Okay, that above comment was actually from me signed in as my husband... sorry!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030783893373288244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-25637324692771897982010-08-30T20:45:30.102-07:002010-08-30T20:45:30.102-07:00Cindy...

I can't imagine the loneliness you must have felt at that time in your life and I am so glad you "woke up" when you did. Thank you for sharing something so difficult that could very well open another parent's eyes to what their child is going through.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277436676480720862noreply@blogger.com
