Control it, before it controls you....

This is some advice I was recently given from a doctor when I was hospitalized...


I've been a type one diabetic for as long as I can remember. I've seen a lot of things and I've dealt with a lot of things. To put it simply, I know the life pretty well. 

This is a guide, maybe to someone who has recently been diagnosed. Or maybe to someone who wants to better understand it. Or maybe to someone who knows someone with type one diabetes.



Either way, as someone who has fought this battle for almost 15 years, as of July 2020, I know there's something you must remember.

Finally having to admit that she can't do it herself and faces vulnerability by doing so. She endures love and heartbreak but only she can save herself. Will Jules recover and finally be free of the voice that has become the burden of her life? ~ I've Got It Under Control That's what she thought. That's what they all think when it first starts. They had control, had, past tense. Now they wish they did. Their bodies are screaming for help but their head is saying otherwise. Hunger coursed through Jules's body, the rumble of her stomach was like a thunderstorm, violent and painful. It scared her, yet it also satisfied her. She started to skip breakfast, and once she realised she didn't need breakfast, she knew she wouldn't need lunch nor dinner. ~TW: Goes into depth about eating disorders, mentions about suicide and self harm.

Conquer the Wasteland by IfritEnterprise

*Prologue* To be entirely honest with you, I never really considered my future. It's not like I needed to...right? Why would you care about jobs and your educational success when you could be scavenging for food, perhaps? I mean what use is your academic future in the apocalypse? Dramatic right? As I sit here, writing this down, I feel a little pathetic. Although the chance that someone would read my story is incredibly low, I can't help but feel a small glimmer of hope that someone will find it. It would become an instant best-seller! Who wouldn't read the first-hand account of a zombie apocalypse survivor? Even if that day were to arrive, I can guarantee that I won't be alive to see it. The world is a complete and total mess and we are the only ones to blame. Why do you ask? Well, why don't we take a trip down memory lane? First, people alone destroyed the earth with pollution, making it the ultimate playground for the undead. Second, we created the virus that single-handedly destroyed 97% of the human population. Wonderful, is it not?

The Way We Get By by _nicolemiller

Boys don't have eating disorders. Those are only for vain, teenage girls. Not for Alex. Alex Rivera doesn't know why he started counting calories or why he's addicted to stepping on the scale. He just knows it's what he needs to do. His parents don't understand, and neither does his twin brother - the hotshot player of the school. His little sister doesn't get it. His fucking pet lizard doesn't get it. None of them understand how, a family so happy and so healthy, could've festered this disorder. A disorder that's taken everything from Alex. As the heartbreaking secrets unfold and Alex's disorder is brought under the microscope, the Riveras must find a way to get by, even through the impossibility of Alex's eating disorder, a molestation charge, and the realization that pain isn't always clear-cut and obvious. Told through multiple point of views, The Way We Get By shines a light on the often ignored side of mental health and eating disorders, and it shows that with a little love, humor, and sacrifice, absolutely anything is possible. - - Highest Ranks: |#1| - ednos |#1| - disorder |#1| - mentalillness |#2| - eating |#3| - recovery

I Remember by Owelz_The_Only

In a world with no recorded history, people Remember. Special individuals are given a day, responsible for the memories of every person who lived during that timeframe. I carry a day. It is a very important one, and yet it's harrowing, overridden with scandal, danger, and anguish. Some memories are difficult to accept, but it's not for a mere man to decide what ought to be Remembered. Even so, there will always be someone who wants to decide the future by controlling the past. I Remember. Not just good or bad set against one another in black and white, but far more. I Remember life. Death. Love. Hope. Sorrow. Faith. Trust. Truth. I have to Remember, and the world can never replace what I have to forget.
