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.

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?

Bonnie and her seven brothers lives changed forever, after the sudden and tragic death of Bonnies' parents, eight years ago. They had to find a way to survive and make ends meet, staying with their uncle and cousins until her oldest brother, Alexander could become their legal guardian. Bonnie has never really 'loved' herself. When she was younger, she would always pick out something about her she didn't like. Whether it was a bruise on her arm, or her slightly disheveled hair, she would be upset and unhappy with her appearance. She has always craved to be liked, loved and accepted. She's now 14 and is starting her first year as a freshman at high school. Though high school isn't going to be easy like it was for her popular, loud brothers. Jealousy. Heartbreak. Bullies. Pressure. Judgement. Adapting to a new change is hard. Bonnie can't quite take it, she gets overwhelmed, and her brain feels too 'busy'. She can't help feeling what it would be like if she wasn't there or if she stayed silent, nobody would notice. She doesn't crave to be a popular girl, or to be eye candy for the boys, she just wants to be known as 'pretty' and liked. Her worst nightmare is to be known as the far girl, or the ugly one. This need becomes overwhelming, and soon her body shuts down, and her mental health plummets. She does some things, things she will regret in the future yet in the moment cures her need to feel alive, it brings satisfaction. Will her older brothers be able to save her? What happens when it all gets too much? They might be able to save her from other people, but can they save her from herself?... TW: • Self harm • Eating disorders ( Bulimia and Anorexia ) • Mentions of abuse and sa. • Suicide. (MATURE RATING) enjoy reading, jemima xoxo

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

Actually a Girl by angelzz05

Being controlled by a preson is so annoying and suffocating-- I'm sure that you guys would certainly agree. What you should and shouldn't do. What you will be in the future. And what you must do for that person. You need to obey each one of them. Being controlled is too bothersome, but you guys wonder why I can't do anything to get rid of that person. I don't have a choice, I am hers. But I'd love to get out of this shit soon. Everybody see me as a perfect boy. Who knows and has everything. But little do they know, that this perfect boy that they know has secrets. I'm a boy but actually a girl. "ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴀɴ ʟɪᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴀɴʏᴏɴᴇ ᴇʟꜱᴇ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ. ʙᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ ʟɪᴇ ᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜʀꜱᴇʟꜰ."
