#hate to be annoying bc i know ive vagued abt this before but nothing pisses me off when ppl are like #'why do u say [offensive thing] abt ppl w/ mental illness when u would never say [offensive thing] abt ppl w/ somatic illness/disability'#sry ur so wildly ignorant but not WOULD ppl say that abt ppl with physical disabilities they DO say it like non fucking stop #like so many ppl think u can cure anything from paralysis to diabetes to cancer with good diet and positive mental attitude....#like how fucking myopic....confidently uncurious abt other ppls struggles #and i feel bad complaining abt it bc the person in question is a relative and an activist that i otherwise respect #but its like her favorite fucking line and it pisses me off to know end esp bc when we were kids she made fun of #another relative of ours with a mobility related disability.....i know shes sorry abt it now but idk i dont forgive her abt it #ive tried to talk to her abt it before but she just hears what she wants to hear its like total brick wall #uuuuugggggghhhhh she pisses me off so bad its not even funny

genuinely cannot stand when im watching a video and someone's talking about food and it devolves into "sugar bad! *makes 8 diabetes jokes in a 10 minutes that's either blatant misinformation or just outright mean*"

#genuinely makes me want to stop watching the video after the first time but #if its like a new channel i found or whatever ill give them the benefit of the doubt bc i wanna believe in the good of people or whatever #and every time its just. over and over and over #you arent funny its not funny you don't even know how diabetes works shut UPPPPPPPPPPPPPP #sorry everyone it happened to me again and im hashtag mad

Dude, Tumblr just recommend me an insulin for me to lose weight.

I'm diabetic. What the actual fuck.

#that's actually pretty upsetting considering i had to stop using that same type of insulin since it may cause pancreatitis again #and the ad is like 'if your bmi is over 31 you may qualify for blah blah' while spinning said insulin with a large tag of “Lose up to 30%#body fat!' like are you for real???? that insulin is 1k! and my insurance has been an asshole with me at least 3x by refusing to pay for it #unless i had an authorization. i mean i tolerated the first time but the second and third time were insane because they /know/ I'm diabetic #and have been for 6 years now. and they still had the audacity to go 'mmmm idk. i dont think you need the dosage change'#this is long but im just annoyed that i got an ad that's suggesting me that i can lose weight if i take this insulin #when that same insulin had helped me with my real diabetes-related symptoms. like fuck off. how dare you use my medical information to #try and sell me bullshit #fuck people who use diabetic medicine to lose weight :V #thanks i hate it here #my text

i'm starting to think living with 5 other people may simply be a problem

#vent post #negative #i've come to the conclusion i'm not getting enough sugar in my daily meals #(which is. ironic in a lot of ways. but i don't know what else the problem would be)#and that's great that's cool that i've come to this conclusion. i don't think i can solve this one #we don't buy that much sugary or junk food stuff anymore #my dad's got diabetes that makes sense that's understandable #so a lot of our family meals are like rice and meat and a salad #but yknow i'm not really gonna ask my parents to change that! it's been like that for a long time now it's fine it's alright #but i don't think i can actually solve the problem #i. already have a lot of foods that the rest of my family isn't allowed to touch. because i am So Picky #and when they were eating my foods more often i was Starving #i don't. think. i can ask for more. and you know what that's fine! that's fine that's ok i like my meals they're tasty as hell #what about snacks then? can we get snacks for the whole family? well no #we stopped buying more junk foodish snacks because it was All my siblings were eating #and it was bad! it was bad they shouldn't have been doing that. but now i don't think my parents trust us to be responsible with snack food #so our snack foods are. protein bar. fruit snacks (i had to request these specifically). popcorn #that's. that's fine. that's fine maybe i should be focused on fruit instead! fruit is good sugar!#well we don't store fruit i like the way i like it (don't put it in the fridge) so i never eat any of it anymore #but everybody else seems fine with it so really i'm not going to win this argument cause everybody else actually eats it more when it's out #(i don't think this is true. but i think it's true for My Dad and My Mom specifically.)#and i just. it really got me thinking about how much i don't have foods that i like in the house or meals that i love because Somebody Else #likes it done differently and not the way i like it #and that takes priority #to the point where i don't know what the fuck kind of foods i like because we just don't. have. any #i prefer white rice. mom prefers brown so we get brown. i prefer crunchier potatoes. mom prefers them soft so we make them soft #i like my fruits cold. my parents prefer to be able to See the fruits so they stay on the counter. i only eat chicken breast not any other #part of the chicken. my parents prefer thigh meat so we get thigh meat (which i don't eat)#oh huh. this post was a lot longer but tumblr deleted half the tags. yeah that's fair

Turns out I'm living in an All or Nothing style comedy because my roommate (and their best friend) are both bi and dealing with Bi Thoughts (their words)

I am as ace as possible

Truly is an All or Nothing sort of world we live in

#syncrovoid.txt #rambling #now if only i could get my roommate's friend to stop aggressively flirting with me that'd be great #this weekend i wanted to write and doodle and work on my own projects!#not.. be dragged into a galentines (i am not a gal? i am masc agender?) where their friend arrived hours early and had a bit of a breakdown #but also kept grinding agsinst me and flirting even though I've told them i am not interested and they are aware??#they told my roommate that they could fix me. shame be upon them and their lack of modesty #(not to just but they changed pants in the middle of a room full of people they did not know. for why??#we have other rooms? a bathroom? a hallway even??)#it was.. unpleasant #unsure how to mentally categorize these experiences other than “for what reason mist they have happened?”#anywho! long story short all my writing plans are now delayed because this person would not LEAVE our house?#i made them food because they're diabetic and had a crash but they also like. did not ask and said all our food was bad and wouldn't eat #so baffling and confusing? i do my best not to judge in life (for i find it meaningless) but in this situation it is hard to withhold #i do hope if they do come over again that they stop trying to “fix” me (idk if it's the agender aromantic or asexual they wish to fix??)#tw aphobia #aroace #i just try to exist #ALSO the vampire allegations are growing and not leaving??? for why??

I was just told by our government that, as a type 1 diabetic who makes around 12k a year, I am Too Rich for Medicaid and Too Poor to receive any financial assistance for Medicare and should be able to pay $300 monthly premiums...when I get $250 a week as a paycheck. I literally can't find another job. I have been looking for 2.5 years!!!!

#so basically I should just Die #how dare I - a person with diabetes who needs medical insurance to survive - not make money?#ive haven't wanted to just Stop and Cease to exist like this in a while #like god forbid i have a chronic illness and need financial help #what the fuck am i supposed to do im going to die #im so fucking tired #im so tired #healthcare #us healthcare #health insurance #medicaid #medicare #type 1 diabetes #type 1 diabetic #diabetes #chronic illness #poverty #magpie speaks #into the void

#i’ve spent all day fighting to get my prescription filled and had to make a million different phone calls.#except half the time the people i spoke to didn’t even listen to me about what was going on!!!#like i’m so tired!!!! why do i try so hard to take care of myself when the healthcare system clearly doesn’t give a shit or care to help!!!#i’ve been doing this for nineteen years and. what’s the fucking point!!!#god!!!!#anyways diabetes burnout is very real and i wish people talked about it more because i’ve been really struggling but have no resources for #how to cope with it or how to make it stop #i can just feel myself slipping and it sucks. it really really sucks.#diabetes tag #they do be rambling

Good news: the soft opening of the show went well

Bad news: I now have confirmation I took 4 extra units of long-acting insulin via panicking at the end of the show, second guessing myself about whether I took my Levemir at intermission. I am feeling them now as I sweat through a 3:00am low. I'll figure out a better way to track that I am taking my meds, but damn.

#this has been a post #i feel like i need a diabetes tag #kate is sometimes a stage manager #i really don't know how other diabetics manage if they don't write things down #sometimes the only thing that stops me from panicking about my 22:00 meds is my notebook #i didn't write a note about when i took my meds at intermission #so i took some 'fuck i hope i didn't forget and that i won't be ill tomorrow' extra units at the end of the show #i just don't trust my memory right now #i was late on a rental payment for the first time EVER this month and that was an unpleasant fine #i've taken it as further proof this show has fucked with me #anyway #local theatre bitching

im gonna bite any em tee ell fan who interacts with this post but why, when people reflect on toki eating that entire giant popcorn bowl full of candy, its never "oh my god he had diabetes and it was foreshadowed" but always "LOL HE GOT DIABETES FROM EATING CANDY LOL"

#like #diabetes isnt the “ate too much candy” disease #he was probably eating all that candy because he had low blood sugar and overcompensated #methinks its just victim blaming him for his illness tbh #like “you wouldnt have diabetes if you didnt eat all that candy”#as if sugar CAUSES your pancreas to just stop working like alcohol to a liver #like no thats not how it works

they should make a life where you don't have appointments, work, school and scheduled events every single day for months on end

#i just wanna spend like 2 full days rotting in bed is that too much to ask #december i'm going on a vacation with family + gf and we're trying to schedule a lunch/dinner so that we can go over the itinerery #and other stuff like my gf is diabetic so she's going to tell everyone the procedures in case of an emergency etc #and the soonest i'm available for that is oct 20th like bruh #every week day i've got classes 7:30-11:50 work 13:00-17:00 and then gym therapy or futsal practice at night #oh and sometimes the professor that i'm the student assistant (? monitor in pt) for wants me to go to her night classes #and then on weekends i've got futsal practice sat morning usually a match either saturday or sunday legal advice clinic 4x a semester #and then birthdays friend group meetups (with ppl i haven't properly seen in a WHILE so i don't wanna bail) family stuff or gf's family stu #oh and i take care of the finances of our futsal team so there's that as well #and then when i'm free i spend my time with my love (who i mostly see on either day of the weekend and sometimes for dinner on weekdays)#those are my favorite “appointments” i love spending time with her so much but even though we have quite a few staying in dates we also #pretty frequently go out to cafes restaurants parks meet up with mutual friends etc #so like... no bed rotting ever adfdsal #honestly i am not THAT busy compared to some ppl that i know #like i work from home most days of the week commute only 20 min to college am not a part of any study group etc etc #but man... that vyvense sure is working cause i do not think i would be able to do what i do now when my adhd was unmedicated #also i'm thinking of maybe getting a new internship next year cause even though i love my current one it's in public law which atm #is the field i'm thinking of getting into after school but getting into private law in brazil with only public law uni experience is #incredibly difficult. so i wanna be 100% sure i actually want public law. which means experiencing private law.#which means a private law internship #so i'm wondering how the fuck imma be able to pull that off next year #at least it pays much more than my current one! like probably double!#but honestly even with all the shit that i do and wishing i had more time for myself i've actually been so happy lately #i'm learning more at uni than i used to be able to i do pretty well at my internship i've got wonderful friends both old and new #my family is well and we get along like always i switched positions in futsal and am doing suprisingly good as a goalkeeper #and i'm in my first ever relationship. it's been almost 8 months till we made it official and it blows me away how good it's been #like we haven't faught once. disagreed on a couple things sure. but not a single fight and tbh even disagreements are very rare #idk we communicate and give each other grace and i just feel so loved. she knows me so well. i love her so so so so much.#like man just this saturday we were having an early dinner at a bakery. she stopped what she was saying and just stared at me smiling #and like i couldn't hold eye contact. cause she's so so fucking beautiful and she was looking at me with so much love and i had to look awa

if anyone has money to spare for donations, im forwarding more links for palestinian aid

CareforGaza is a nonprofit that provides direct aid to Palestine, and you can donate directly here

Operation Olive Branch is a document that lists evacuating families that need assistance, which gives information on the families, the urgency, and tracks the progress of their fundraisers

eSims for Gaza lists very clear instructions on how to purchase e-sims to keep them connected, they are urgently in demand

Here is a project that distributes feminine hygiene kits directly to Gaza

Mutual Aid Diabetes has channels set up for you to donate insulin and medication to diabetics in Gaza, as well as lists fundraisers for diabetics seeking to evacuate

please keep sharing and adding links on this site, please add more if i'd missed any, and please don't stop talking about Palestine.

#free palestine #palestine #gaza #<tags for boost let me know what boosts further? im seeing these more on twitter than tumblr so im trying to add to the traction here too

I'm not much of an angry rant kind of guy most of the time. But god it's so fucked up to be trapped in a body where I can't move around too much or I won't be able to to move around much at all for the next several weeks and the general culture is just obsessed with whether or not I'm excercising enough. I have to prevent myself from moving. I want to move around and have to stop myself. I have to carefully ration every movement my body makes. I have to decide regularly whether or not bending down to pick something up is worth the cost of present and future pain and lack of energy.

It's also weird because so much of my life is defined by hunger. I have to actively try to ignore it because most of my day is thinking about how hungry I am, how I'm going to get food, am I going to have enough energy to make food, or even eat it, what can I do to temporarily stop being hungry, and dreading how much pain I'm going to be in when I eat. And I'm not really food insecure in the same way I was even a month or two ago. I spent a good chunk of time actively starving.

I do fucking yoga. I try to go outside and stare at birds for a while instead of being on my phone. I have to walk pretty much everywhere I go. Almost all of my meals are home cooked and with the best ingredients available to me. But the message is constant that it's not my circumstances, I just don't try hard enough. So I fucking sympathize with people who are constantly told the same, not by one person, but kind of by everyone, when that makes no fucking sense. Excercising is good, eating nutritious foods is good, but there are circumstances outside of your control.

Letting go of control was hard enough for me, being told I dont take enough control of my life and that's why it fucked me is really fucking exhausting.

#I'm not even mad at the person who made that post.#A lot of people don't know much about type 2 diabetes. I'm hardly an expert myself.#I'm not really mad at any one person about any of this there's just something gutting about trying to summon some sources #and seeing the words 'food insecurity doubles your chances of getting type 2 diabetes'#alongside 'maybe nonwhite kids just don't exercise enough because of the racism. because we're still working the obesity angle.'#Or just. The sea of health articles warning you to lose weight and stop eating foods you like to prevent diabetes even though we know by no #a lot of that is junk science built on top of pseudoscience or the absence of science.#And I think a lot about how many doctors blamed my weight on my own habits when I was literally underweight for my body type #because I was fucking starving.#Because I have a health issue that means I don't absorb half of what I even put into my body.#Or the assumption that because I use a mobility aid I must be lazing on the couch all day #when I had to walk like 10-20 minutes on uneven pavement uphill to even get to the appointment.#fucking exhausting and miserable.#It's impossible to have a normal ass life that way.#☠️

it's so fucking annoying that the public opinion on SSRI seems to be that they make you into an emotionless zombie and the side effects are clearly not worth taking them, the implication being that nobody was in a bad enough state before taking them that they may consider the side effects worth it. like idk man i just don't care that much when you compare it to uncontrollable mood swings and constant intrusive suicidal thoughts. like ppl act as if this is some kind of anti-pharma progressive line of thought but they don't actually give a shit about informed consent before beginning the medication in any meaningful sense, they mostly just seem to think depression isn't real and nobody would continue taking antidepressants if they knew there would be drawbacks. i assure you my consent is very informed i just don't like being completely out of control and scared of myself, which is what i was fucking like off medication. maybe someday if i have a few months of my life free to have outbursts at people and desperately want to kill myself ill try a new medication or weaning off this one or whatever. if you want it that bad you can prepare the cash and some apology letters.

#it's one thing when you hear this once or twice and another when it's all anyone fucking talks about #often completely unprompted in response to simply mentioning that you take this medication #and people really overestimate how much doctors that don't specialize in psychiatry or neurology know about this too #like ive had a doctor casually suggest i cold turkey quit the SSRI ive been on for five years #sometimes people just don't know what they're fuckin talking about #it's just so frustrating to me because i WAS incredibly nervous about starting meds and did my research #i wish my doctor had made the research part easier but i don't regret starting them at all #frankly i think i should've been put on them younger but i was 13 when i started so i doubt it would've been possible #like maybe someday ill be in a place where i can quit but #when ppl say this shit it's so fucking annoying cos it's a medication that doesn't do anything particularly awful and is extremely difficult #to stop taking. and which for me at least is probably also you know Fucking Working #anyway just. i can at least underneath where its coming from from ppl who have tried SSRIs and had a bad experience #but this very much comes from Everybody and it gets exhausting #i will also likely be taking birth control and diabetes medication for the next 30 to 40 years why don't you focus on those
