Sometimes we all just need to sit back, relax, and "go to your happy place" in your mind. Try just doing one task at a time. I know I start a project, then another, then another, then get overwelmed and depressed because I feel like I have not done a thing! You can do this...don't let diabetes win...

College does not guarantee depression any more than diabetes guarantees it. Yet both can be an obscene struggle to keep your head above water, sometimes literally so. The body does love to play games doesn't it? Just for grins and giggle I'd love to be in "Esctasy" blissed out of my mind... just because I "woke up" kind of deal. It would be nice.

Don't try for excellent control forever, the whole semester just try for just one single reading that is "perfect", only one! Much easier and not so overwhelming right?

Things improving?

Conquer the world one little reading at a time... if so, my ~evil plan~ is complete
