[QUOTE="Bluemarine Josephine, post: 964759, member: 213188"] Hello Urbanracer, Thank you so much! Nice to be here! I am certainly not a veteran in Diabetes but, I have a different perspective. Actually, I love my Diabetes! I am very afraid of it. Some days I feel already tired… I respect it immensely. My Diabetes rules me (at least, for the time being) and I run after it all the time. But, I love it! Because it’s mine. Maybe my thinking is incorrect but, if I had a child that fell and hurt its knee, I would kiss the child, kiss the bleeding wound, hold the child and caress it. Assure it that I am there to make everything alright. I would not hit the child, shout or abuse it for hurting. I perceive myself as this child and my diabetes is my wound. I have to do the parenting for myself. It is not my fault that I have a wound and, I do not intent to punish myself or blame myself or degrade myself for it. Instead, I will learn to love myself even more (just like I would do with a hurting child) and I will learn to love my wound as well because, it is part of who I am. I am not my wound but, the wound is mine. And I love it just like I love everything else about me. I will continue loving my Diabetes even though I know that it is a wound that will keep bleeding for the rest of my life. Regards Josephine [/QUOTE]
