i have to say something...i'm not always strong and brave. sometimes, I'm scared and weak. i'm in houston to visit with my big D dr. and decided to get a cgm - continuous glucose monitor. i'm scared it will hurt. i'm scared i wont be able to run 13.1 in nov. im scared i will let myself down. after the 10 weeks i have been thru, i now realize that the big D has more control than it should. i know i can do it, but doing this while being a "good wife, daughter, friend, etc..." while being the happy person, is tiring... im trying not to complain but this sucks. now im complaining....and teary eyed. im not inspiring...im just me...and sometimes me gets scared and overwhelmed.

    When rough seas come your boat will float over the waves. It takes a while to develop sea legs. Find a rail within yourself and stay close to it.

    So much good input here.... Everyone gets scared & you're certainly allowed to feel that & admit it! How you deal with it & move forward is the true test of character and you have done that most impressively. :)

    Every one of us have hurt or felt lonely, helpless or sad. Usually, things have a way of coming out ok. And you can always talk about anything here.

    Sometimes there aren't the right words to be able to help others, but hugs let you know we care. Sending you some big hugs since everyone else had such encouraging words for you. HUGS, HUGS, HUGS!

    Hang in there, talk with your docs, and remember that courage doesn't mean you aren't scared. Courage is doing what you need to despite your fears. And you are definitely doing what you need to.

    Being inspirational isn't just a feat of strength or stamina. It can also be the courage to go on even when you're scared. When you acknowledge your fear you take away it's power over you. It's just a thing. Just like running in the rain, you will get through this and come out stronger on the other side. You many not feel it right now, but you ARE inspiring.

    I kinda know what you mean. It's hard to keep on faking it til you make it when you have pressure on you to be perfect in whatever capacity. Sometimes, the strongest thing is to admit that you feel weak.
