The clock hits 2:58 a.m.; it’s very early and dark this Thursday morning. I ask myself, “What in the F am I doing?” I’m wondering around the apartment with no lights on, nothing, not even the smallest of lights is on. I’m contemplating a lot right now. I had one of those days where I felt very alone. It’s not even all diabetes related, although, actually as I think about it even more I realize it all probably comes back to that.

Wow. What an unbelievable adventure life is. I don't even know where to begin today. I guess one thing that I wanted to share is that I recently moved. Last weekend I was in a bad way. It's no secret - just look at my past entries - that I have struggled with bouts of hard times.
So Saturday, after a few longs nights and hours of heavy contemplation, I packed up my stuff and left. I needed to get out of my home town - away from some feelings that I've been struggling to overcome. I had made a call that day to a guy whose number and add I found on Craigslist. The add said that their was a room for rent near the beach in Florida. I was sold. I arrived on Sunday night after a total of about 18 hours of driving.

After a month of contemplation, phone calls, and hassle, I've finally made an appointment with a new doctor. If you haven't followed along, my old endo wasn't being as cooperative or helpful as I wanted him to be. So I decided to pursue a new endo that might walk me through the next few years of my life as I prepare for the "real world," babies, and possibly even marriage. I called several doctors recommended by my pediatric endo, only to find out that my insurance either will not let me see them or I'd have to go about a massive ordeal just to get an appointment.

When you're writing about your diabetes life for a living, it can be hard to remember that there is a life outside of this disease. When you're daily racking your brain for blog topics, diabetes fundraising ideas, and how to market a diabetes network to the world, it's tough to keep track of yourself. But I've desperately been wanting to know myself more, better, wholly.
I've done just that in the past three years. Being out on my "own" here at college has made it much easier to find that true person that lies beneath all the health conditions. Sometimes I still get lost in the mix...like am I truly against large groups of new people or was my self-esteem just beaten down by the PCOS? But mostly, I've learned myself in more detail than I ever knew before.

In some traditions, if a person has survived a serious illness or a serious trial in life, he or she will be given a new name, symbolic of a new life, of a resurrection of sorts. A diabetes diagnosis sets us each of us on a new life: a life of glucose testing, carb counting, diet watching, and medication dosing. The ways in which we react to the diagnosis, deal with it, and accept it in our lives changes us profoundly; we are never quite the same people we were before.
It is almost as if the "old" us had died, and we had been reborn again.
