Hi there,
So a small concern at the moment is my vision - my yearly eye tests have been going downhill since about age 18. It has been progressing very rapidly in the past few days and I’ve managed to get an emergency appointment with the eye specialists tomorrow. It does feel good to be taking action...fingers crossed it goes well.
The major issue that isn’t so positive is my mental state. Every few months I am handed a new bag of problems regarding my diabetes that I’m just not prepared for. I can tolerate a lot of issues, but I believe I will be strong enough to make it through... I’ve made it this far already.
Suicide feels like a very valid option down the line, but I would not make the decision impulsively. Feels more like thoughts of clarity than anything else.
I can cope with pretty much any of the complications of diabetes that I currently experience (or may experience in the future) - Cognition, limbs, kidneys, impotence... it could always be worse right? But for some reason blindness isn’t something I think I can get through. The thought of not being able to see my daughters face ever again is seriously messing with my mind.
Perhaps after writing all this it seems I am just stacking up more problems than I need. Trying to just be patient until I can get some answers/ relief from the medical professionals.
If you made it this far then thanks for reading.
