- Crowds of people, my idea of hell would be a huge gathering of any sort!
Heights, scare me to death!
Liars, cheats. poseurs, any kind of violence, thieves and people who take advantage of others.
The way the world is going to hell in a handbasket.
Global warming, the melting ice caps, whaling..I mean what for?!
Cruelty
Having to give up my eat everything philosophy..and I really really dislike consequences.
One of the biggest things to happen to me this year was my realization that Diabetes is a ******. It will affect me for the rest of my life, I will be taking meds for as long as I live and in the beginning I was completely and absolutely fed-up....then I found you guys and all that changed.
I found a group of people who really do care, who bare their souls with owning up and who have made me feel that far from being an awful life sentence, this diagnosis is life changing for different reasons. In fact, it's an opportunity to change. For perhaps the first time in my life I am facing up to what has happened to me and most of the credit must go to the friends I have found on here. There is always someone to listen and share and when I have a lousy situation, there is always someone who has been there before and can help.
My outlook is now positive mostly, not all the time but mostly. I have information and the knowledge to implement it which I most certainly didn't have before I discovered this site so thank you to all the posters who have taken the time to put me back on the rails with their time and honesty.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas whether you are with family or alone, whether you do well coping with the Silly Season or fall flat on your face but mostly I wish you would come back next year because I need you!!
