I always have. I probably always will.
But now I think I know why: Diabetes has always felt like a burden to me, on me. A lonely, heavy burden. I guess it's only natural that when I feel burdened, I feel like I am burdening others. So I try not to be a burden and shoulder it myself. But it's more than I can handle, and I stumble and fall and drop it all in a river of tears. And what do I do after that? I pick it back up and, if I don't take it to God, I try to handle it myself all over again. If I do take it to God, I usually find myself taking it back from Him and falling into the same vicious cycle.
No matter what I do, I always forget that I don't have to carry it alone.
"Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved." Psalm 55:22

Dani, I am sorry you feel like a burden. i bet if you asked 10 people you know if you a e a burden it would a be unanimous no. Yes I know that really is not helpful, but just know I would be shocked if even one person said yes. Now you have to believe it as well.
Thank you, Rick. Several family and friends have already said I'm not. It's a lie I'll keep fighting, because that's exactly what it is...a lie.
