[QUOTE="Zhnyaka, post: 2692664, member: 554712"] it became easier for me to live when I realized that most people, especially those connected with me by profession, do not want anything from me and do not feel anything about me. They have a lot of patients and simply do not have the emotional resource to condemn each of them, they just want to do their job and go home. Usually if you say something like "oh, you have so many people today, you must be very tired" or something else relatively personal, the person becomes disposed towards you. You can also say something like "when you say that everything is bad, I give up, I feel like I can't handle it." Doctors are not sadists and do not take pleasure in the fact that the patient is suffering. Besides, saying "oh, I'm so nervous before taking blood" helps you not to keep your feelings to yourself and the nurse is trying to help you somehow, at least distract you with a conversation. As for the people close to you who really love you, you can usually just say what kind of support you want. My best friend and I once wrote each other instructions on how to support each other in a difficult situation, because, for example, I don't like when someone is next to me when I feel bad, and she, on the contrary, needs it. Just ask for something like this, not in the form of a claim, but a la "could you do it like this"? In principle, if you need support, it is not necessary that a person also suffers from diabetes, it is enough that this person is just your friend and worries about you. Even if a person has T1, they still don't feel the same as you, but in order to provide support, you don't have to feel the same. If you have a friend with whom it's acceptable to whine to each other, just use it. Usually people are willing to support those who support themselves, so if you let a person complain about their problems, then you will also be supported. cgm is a cool thing, besides you can't see its needle [/QUOTE]
