Yesterday I nearly cut my finger off cutting up tomatoes for a salad. And today my nephew, sister and the family flew away from me :( TWO BIG FROWNS! And Jayann went back to Missoula but hopefully she is coming back next week yayyyy!

BUT I went out to lunch with my mommy, and tonight we are having tacos (I am not allowed to cut tomatoes), there's a storm coming (STORMS YAY) and I bought my NZ housemates (and friends) Twinkies so they could try them and be like the people in the films. Eating gross things. I also got Butterfingers. I have a list. It makes me LOL silently.

I love you?

Yes, same here. And sometimes you get cranky without warning. I've had times where I seriously had NO crashing symptoms at all I just. got. ill. I started throwing things around my room and taking down stuff off the walls and then when I ate something it was like 'oh hi, I'm okay now'. I was like wtf. The problem is you KNOW you're acting in such ways but can't stop yourself from doing it until the crash is over.

And sometimes, yeah it is like being drunk or high without actually being drunk or high. And it's freaking ODD. I ate a pack of ramen once and the next day I really felt drunk, and telling someone that was hard to explain. I mean people that have sugar crashes have been known to be stopped by cops because the cops think they are drunk driving and then find out, nope their sugars are off balance.

Maybe that's why hypoglycemics aren't supposed to drink, it would do so much crazy to the already crazy.

Yes, I'm really, really glad to have someone to talk to with it. You're right if someone hasn't experienced it at all, even if they're listening it's hard for someone to really get it if they haven't been through one before. And for the longest time before I was actually diagnosed with it, I thought I was crazy or something.

Yeah, the bitchy thing happens to me. A lot. And I have no idea why I'm angry I just AM. And yep, there's no stopping it!

I feel off-balance all the time, I can't imagine drinking a lot would make a HUGE difference. I wonder what it would feel like to...like...be IN balance. Ever. Just once.

It took a long time for me to get a diagnosis too because it's so hidey and sometimes it's not an issue and others WOW IT REALLY IS and augh.

I woke up a few weeks ago thinking I was DYING because my chest hurt so much. I thought it was a heart attack, it was TERRIFYING. I was just so hungry my chest hurt. But I had eaten like...six hours before that. Stupid blood sugar.

HUNGER PAINS. I get those too. We just keep listing stuff and it's like "nod, nod" I get ya man. Totally. Mine starts to hurt so bad like my stomach is twisting and turning inside out if I don't eat for a long period of time. I HATE that feeling, because you can't think straight.

I feel that way all the time too. Like my head is in fifty different places at once, and when I talk to someone in person, I'm as random as hell. They could say something and it flips me to another topic almost immediately. I don't do it to be rude, or seem like I'm not paying attention to what they're saying, its just the way my brain rolls.

UGH YES! My doctor at the time kept doing bloodwork saying oh it's 'normal' for a teen to have these sugar problems. REALLY? When their parent and aunts and uncles on one side are ALL diabetics? That doesn't throw up red flags? So I switched doctors, one who diagnosed his own daughter with diabetes and he knew that glucose tolerance test was the only thing that was gonna show what I had. SURE enough, took it and within the third hour of the like what 6 hour test---it crashes to 40---and you have to. sit. through. it. Ugh terrible feeling, but it gave them what they needed. Dude we need like form a hypoglycemia group and inform peeps bout this stuff. It ain't easy.

I know, this list is epic and it just proves this is a real issue people say isn't a problem. *Sigh* It happens to me after like two hours and it just gets worse and worse augh. I am hungry like...all the time. ALL the time. And people don't tend to get why.

That test was one of the worst things I have done EVER. It was so horrible and I cried for hours.

WE DO NEED TO FORM THIS! FOR UNITY!
