I was diagnosed with type one diabetes in 2016, for 4 years (2016/2017/2018/2019) I didn’t look after my diabetes or myself. I was a mess. Refused to prick my finger, didn’t take insulin, for the first 2 years I did suffer with diabulimia, as I had a lot of issues with my weight but soon got over that.
In 2019 I was diagnosed with EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency) which is a stomach/bowel condition which causes chronic diarrhoea when I eat food.
And in August 2019 to early 2020 I started having bladder issues which caused me to be hospitalised with a swollen bladder that made me look pregnant and had to have a catheter which I still have as they don’t know what’s wrong with my bladder. Everything is normal (urethra is normal, bladder neck is normal and bladder is normal) everything is healthy and clean and no problems.
And now in May 2021 I started getting diabetic retinopathy and now having laser eye surgery.
I’m 24, I haven’t had the best life from birth to now. Is it my fault? I’m tired of people beating around the bush because they think I can’t take it due to mental health being very low and close to the edge. It’s not going to push me over the edge. I already know that it’s probably my fault and I deserve everything I get. Just wanted to know what everyone else thought?
