The worst thing about having a chronic pain that isn't visible to others is feeling like your whining when you say, "i'm in pain right now."
i don't ever want the pain in my knees to be categorized as the same kind of complaint as "i don't want to go to work" or "its monday." I say "my knees and joints are hurting" every day because 1. my knees and joints do hurt everyday, and it fucking sucks and 2. i want to be heard by the pepole around me saying that i'm in pain so i can never be gaslit by myself, my family, or my doctor that i'm "not in enough pain".
but when i say "i'm in a lot of pain right now" and then continue to live my life (becuse i can't sit around all day, as much as i want to) pepole assume that i'm okay enough, so therfore it's not that bad. "i'm in a lot of pain" becomes just another mundane complaint.
the thing is; my pain tollerance is HIGH. i don't talk about it much on here, But i'm a type one diabetic and i have been that way since i was SIX YEARS OLD. i've been sticking myself with needles, pricking my fingers to draw blood, dealing with insulin and medical supplies since i was six. i know my body better than most 18 year olds do, so when i say that recently i've been a 9 on the 1-10 pain scale evry day for the past couple of months I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
When i say "my joints hurt", i mean that i can FEEL bones grinding and clicking against one another. When i say "i've been sitting for too long and now my hips are fucked" i mean that walking becomes diffucuclt for me and sometimes i have to hobble down the school halways like how my grandmother walks. when i say "my knees are in pain" i mean that it feels like a liquid hot, searing pain in my joints that feels like a poker melting my skin off. WHEN I SAY I'M IN PAIN, IT'S NOT A MUNDANITY, ITS EXCUTRIATING AND I WISH I WOULD BE TAKEN SEROUISLY.
I cant stand for a 10 minute conversation, my knees would buckle. I might need a bench in my shower, becuse for the past few weeks i've been sitting in my shower floor to shampoo and conditon my hair. I can't sit criss-cross anymore or it will fuck up my entire day. I've resorted to taking a bathroom break in every single class every day so i can stand up becuse if i sit for longer than 30 minutes in one of those school desks every joint in my lower back and spine and legs starts screaming at me. i only feel comfortable laying down, fully stretched out, on my back. If i sleep wrong, i'm in pain from the molment i wake up.
ITS NOT A FUCKING COMPLAINT OR EXCUSE WHEN I SAY I'M IN PAIN. ITS MY LIFE.

as a diabetic nothing is as humiliating as being in a social setting, and everyone is having a good time, and then your CGM alert goes off INSANELY loud like a gong going off in church. it feels like a medieval shame bell fr. and i’m like, okay thanks for not letting me die, dexcom, but do you have to be so fucking dramatic about it?? honestly i’d rather just quietly have a hypoglycemic episode thanks

You know what we need @fiery-red-kryptonite? We need a diabetic convention.
A few days long where diabetics of all ages could all get together and just talk, share things. both type 1 and type 2 diabetics. I know where I live there were diabetes camps but like…those were for kids and that’s great but so many people who are older need the support.
Because honestly no one understands a diabetic like another diabetic, doctors don’t get me the way you do. Other friends may try to help (and they do an amazing job when I need them to help) but I can just message you and go “holy shit the low I had today” and you understand and share what helps you. I can say “my lord the dream I had today” and you respond with “how was your blood sugar?”.
Plus I know way too many type 2 diabetics who are sorely uneducated on type 1 diabetes and I feel like they would learn better in an open, friendly environment rather than a doctors office where the doctor might not even fully know.
New diabetics who are scared and worried being able to talk face to face with elder diabetics who’ve been dealing with this Illness for most of their lives and hearing from some who knows first hand how they handle it. Being able to go back to their doctors with informed ideas on how to better manage their diabetes.
Panels set up by diabetics for diabetics (and their families because let’s be honest families need more education than they get too)
Little sales booths where diabetics can sell little trinkets to decorate pump or pen pouches. Little bears to help little kids with diabetes brave the injections (I had one his name was poke, he was my second favourite bear)
Just something for diabetics to get together in person and be able to share. Make connections with each other and finally feel a little bit less alone.
I don’t know this idea struck me while I was changing my sensor and I felt like a post that other diabetics may see and share etc would be nice……at least we can have a diabetic Tumblr group or something 😂
Edit: the post has been reblogged and liked a few times so I went ahead and made a discord so diabetics can connect in some way at the very least. The invite shouldn’t expire but if it does please let me know and I’ll put a new one or invite you personally.

Noah x type 1 diabetic mood board
A/n: I wanted to make a mood board for my chronically ill baddies like me, I haven’t see it done before so I thought I’d do it💞
Noah dating a diabetic includes
Him researching as much as he can about it. He will text you random things he finds out to ask if they’re right or not. He wants to understand it completely to be able to help you the best he can
He keeps low snacks in his bag in case you forget to restock yours. He also keeps an extra site change if you are a pump user
He’d wake up to your CGM alarms for you and get you snacks if it was low or if you’re high he’d give you a correction so then you don’t have to get up and fool with it
He’d bring you water when your sugar is high, knowing it helps to bring it down. He’d also be happy to go on walks with you to bring it down if you asked
He gets you all your favorite foods and sweets on your diaversary (the day you were diagnosed)
If he knows you’re tired from your sugar being out of wack, he just holds you while you take a nap
Can and will beat the fuck out of anyone who gives you shit for it
Sometimes refers to you as his “sugar baby”
He randomly quotes “a little bit longer” by the Jonas brothers at you anytime you complain about something small regarding your sugar
His nightstand is STOCKED with juice boxes. He does occasionally steal one at 3 in the morning when he wakes up and is PARCHED
Gets excited when you give him a pack of gummies from your low snacks, he considers it a high honor
Sometimes he forgets that when you’re high it makes you have a short fuse so if he comes home and you’re pissed, he’ll look at the cgm share app and see what you are and go from there
If you’re on pens, he orders the pip pen needles to keep at his place so you don’t have to worry about running out of them there
He tries to be mindful about what he’s making for lunch and dinner if your sugar is high and is a pain in the ass to get it to come down (I’ve had two days like that recently) so he’d make low carb meals so it won’t effect you as much
He makes sure all of your supplies and insulin are ordered as soon as he can because he knows how stressful it can be for you when you’re on your last sensor and the new ones still aren’t there yet (example)
If you have a nasty low, he would bring you at least three snacks, two sugary ones to bring you up and a protein snack to keep you level. If it’s low enough to where you’re sweating and shaking, he makes sure that the sugary ones are juice or something since he knows it won’t take as much out of you to get them in your system, and he has a cold rag to run across your face and neck to help

I was going to feel sad about the United Health CEO dying but my insurance doesn’t cover sympathy. Maybe losing weight will help?

extremely selfish of you to be born needing help, maybe try killing yourself instead?

Low blood sugar is kind of funny to think about sometimes, it’s almost like a curse. You get to ignore your chronic illness for a little bit and eat without worrying about insulin or carbs. But at the same time your body is slowly shutting down, your brain is starving and you are in a confused, sweaty daze. So while you are enjoying a small moment without the stress of diabetes, you are also actively dying.
Kind of a weird way to look at it I guess
