Not had my insulin for nearly a month.

Glad to see you are ok buddy, you know you really should take no notice of what people say. I tell you some times social media belongs in the trash for all is does to people, you don't need other peoples permission to be who you are. You certainly do not need other peoples opinion or approval for how much you should weigh or how you look. You are who you are and it's your choice how you live, but not taking your medication is only going to cause you some harm, with all the haters and people full of their own self importance winning. Don't let them have that satisfaction, and as for your doctor find another one.

Empower yourself and get rid of either Facebook or Instagram, you don't need both and that's half of your social media problem gone at the click of a button or mouse. But do find someone to talk to and the Samaritans are terrific, I know as I've a friend who sits at the end of that phone and she is an angel

Take care buddy

I haven't had my insulin for nearly a month. The reason being is because not taking it is helping me lose weight. (I have tried everything to lose weight! Exercise, healthy eating, diets), but nothing is working, so I thought that if I didn't take my insulin i'd lose weight and it worked, I lost a stone. Another reason for not taking it is that I want to die.

My doctor called me fat, and I have had other people posting on my Facebook, Instagram and other things calling me fat and ugly. I am sick of it. So I decided to not take my insulin.

What can actually happen if I stop taking it? I really want to know.

With respect Alex you posted the same question 25 weeks and 3 days ago. The answer is exactly the same.
You will have a very slow painful death going blind with your kidney's failing and excruciating pains in your limbs.
