We can get through this!

I started college this week, and boy how it's different than high school! I have already made some awesome friends, and they are great! But I am struggling on things though :/ I was so nervous of my first day of college, which I think that most people are when they are starting out. But for me I was so nervous, because I was thinking "What are people going to do or say when they see me checking my blood sugar or when I give myself a shot?" "Will they think I am a weirdo?" I did get A LOT of stares but there were many people asking me questions about it. I guess they didn't think I was a weirdo for giving myself shots. I will be in the middle of class and I will have to take my blood sugar, and people will stare. But I am trying my hardest to get over that. I am still trying my hardest to be the strongest person that I can. You know I do try to stay positive in my blogs and to myself, but I of course do struggle. Honestly there are times when I do want to give up, when I think to myself, that these people might be thinking that I am doing this for attention. Heck I wish I wasn't getting that kind of attention. There are people out there that I think that they think that what diabetics go through. They think "oh big woop they can live with it" I mean yeah we can live with it, but do they really know what I have to do to live? I have to do so much stuff to stay alive. If I didn't check my blood sugar or gave myself shots for what I ate I think I would be in a coma or even dead. I just want people to know that anything can happen to me/ diabetics at anytime. It's something that we don't want attention for, or for anyone to feel sorry for us. We have to do certain things for us to stay alive, for us to live our life everyday. I don't want to say that we aren't normal but we sure do different things than other people do. So, my goal in life is to try to stay positive, try to be happy, and try to get through this. We can do it and we are all here for each other!
