“In 2023, that was me. A new pump I am scared to trust. That was my life. Yesterday I booked a holiday. Bit by bit it comes back. Keep going, even slowly.”
“Dear stranger, i was in the same place eighteen months ago. For me it was family telling me what I can eat at weddings. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart. Praying for you.”
“Please be gentle with yourself, I wasn't, and it made everything harder, I pace everything now so if I do a lot Monday, tuesday is a rest day, no arguing, and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
“If you've just found this place, I was in the same place eighteen months ago. Hypos at night, every single day. I got a new job in April. You get yourself back in pieces.”
