the older i get the more i become like my mother in regards to health issues and i just gotta say.... i wish this bitch prepared me for ALL of this, not just prepped (read: panicked) me for the potential for diabetes 🙃🫠

#personal #she blamed all her health issues on having diabetes bc she developed it in her early/mid 20s after having my sister #esp cause everyone else in my family who got sick like this was also afab and Also developed diabetes after pregnancy #but it turns out that & the rest are separate things 🙃#bc *i* have the health issues and no diabetes bc no pregnancy #downside is None of my drs take my family medical history seriously once i mention the history of diabetes too #bc they Also blame it all on the diabetes (which is where my mom got the idea)#but the GI/bone/joint/sleep problems are DEFINITELY not from the diabetes 🙃#just happened to be happening at the same time bc all the women in my family except one aunt started having kids at 15y/o #so pregnancy and “womanhood” masked the actual issues #and i am never having kids but i am still having All these issues *except* diabetes #i think i may be one of the next ppl who dies from illness (likely cancer) in my family #<< i have been right every time i have fears about someone in my family like this and have never had this fear abt myself til now #anyway yeah. i wish she prepared me more for the “living with the illnesses” rather than the “oh my gd dont get diabetes heres a diet”
