If you want to, my site name is American Legends and the URL is:<BR/><BR/>www.americanlegends.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232675.post-22533165118469732372007-02-15T03:19:00.000-05:002007-02-15T03:19:00.000-05:00i totally feel this way a lot. we all see things ...i totally feel this way a lot. we all see things from our points of view, and therefore don't see the same things necessarily AT ALL. it's nice to read your blog. ^o^<BR/><BR/>http://everydayoftheyear.blogspot.com/cchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06344475955069046453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232675.post-74988625519873927562007-02-10T08:13:00.000-05:002007-02-10T08:13:00.000-05:00Mel -I feel your pain, sister, literally. I've he...Mel -<BR/>I feel your pain, sister, literally. I've heard much the same comments from co-workers and friends regarding my headaches. In a way, I feel good about that because it somehow makes me feel strong realizing I'm keeping it together well enough that people "can't tell". On the other hand, the constant effort to keep it together is exhausting, and most of the time, I'm convinced I could be doing at least a hundred times better. I recently had an evaluation with my boss at work and I got myself into such a panic because I was certain that my health had been affecting my job performance and that would be a large focus of my evaluation. It didn't even come up, except in the sense of how do you do it? Juggle all the stresses of work and maintain such a positive attitude? Color me relieved, but also still nervous......<BR/>We have to work harder to support each other, I think.<BR/>SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232675.post-69422411241165308872007-02-10T01:18:00.000-05:002007-02-10T01:18:00.000-05:00People think that because it does not jump out and...People think that because it does not jump out and cause disruptions in our daily life that it is not a big deal.<BR/><BR/>It's almost allways all under the surface. That alone can be tiring and very frustrating. <BR/><BR/>The OC has been the best thing for me in that regard - we all know what you are dealing with, and we can appreciate the mental struggles.<BR/><BR/>I think it is kind of neat that this friend is talking to you about it - that can be a good outlet too.<BR/><BR/>Take care of yourself.Scott K.

Do you? Maybe that would help. I needed the pump to get better diabetic control and to easily loose weight!

When you concluded this post, saying "It's not nagging at their thoughts 24 hours a day," I thought of something. <br /><br />Perhaps you could think about achieving diabetes control as a way for you to free yourself from nagging thoughts? With diabetes, it's always going to be there, but when you're in control, the thoughts aren't so oppressive. Right now, you're feeling overwhelmed by diabetes, with all the work it requires. Ironically, with this disease, if you put in a little effort on the front end, you can free yourself from some of the blame and negativity surrounding diabetes. <br /><br />I know it's not that easy, and I'm not downplaying the struggle at all. We've all experienced the ups and downs of diabetes care. Perhaps just thinking about the mental stress that will be relieved from good care, might be motivating?<br /><br />Good luck and keep letting us know how you're doing!Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158609377041501796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232675.post-62715975886863001442007-02-07T18:59:00.000-05:002007-02-07T18:59:00.000-05:00Oh Melissa, your post REALLY struck a chord with m...Oh Melissa, your post REALLY struck a chord with me and my life. <br /><br />I feel this way a lot of the time. That everyones perspective of me and my d-life is almost opposite and I see it. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this because it makes me not feel so alone!Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508213573891885604noreply@blogger.com
