Diabetic, depressed and insecure

I AM 34 and a diabetic. My parents have never thought of finding me a guy because of my illness. I get depressed and have tried suicide but I do not want to leave my nephew or my parents either. I cry all the time.

I met a guy whom I fell for. He can be sweet – and yet he can also inject poison into me till I cry and cry. But I can’t seem to leave him because I have no one else. I am beautiful but guys are just interested in having sex with me and that makes me feel like I am not good enough to be with. I have lost my faith in God. I am trying to regain it but I have been unsuccessful.

I feel sad when I see couples and married people as I know I will never have all that. I can’t talk to my siblings because they think I am sad over nothing. I hate myself so much. I hate my life and I hate God. I want to die and yet I can’t, it’s so unfair.

Living Dead

Diabetes can be controlled through diet and medication. Many diabetics lead normal lives, get married and have children. So why do you allow your illness to destroy your chance at love and happiness?

You also seem to be emotionally fragile, and you believe that men only want you because you are physically attractive. But why do you feel that you are not good enough to be loved and cherished? Why have you lost faith in God? You suspect that your boyfriend is confused about his love for you but perhaps it is you who are confused?

You should seek medical counselling to understand the reasons for your depression and suicidal tendencies. Your mood swings and dark feelings are not normal.

You should be happy, contented and fulfilled because you are loved. Yet in your warbled mind, you believe that nobody can love you.

You must learn to love yourself or you will never trust that someone will love you for yourself. Seek religious enlightenment too for surely God has never forsaken you.

It’s your own self-doubts playing havoc with your emotions. Be brave enough to look for the truth, do not be constantly deceived by your own thoughts and suspicions.

Look into the mirror and tell the beautiful girl with heart and soul, that she is more than just a pretty face. Why would anyone want to hurt her, make her cry, fill her heart with poison?

Only you can help this girl. Love her, never harm her by wanting to take her life. She is you.

How serious is the diabetic condition? It is not clear from the article whether that has prevented her to have normal sex or have children. If not, then did sex come into the picture at all, especially since her parents seems to not want her to get married because of her diabetic condition. Maybe it is just her parent being selfish and not wanting her to get married so that they will always have someone to look after them, especially if all her siblings are already married. To help her, people will need to know more about her family background.

i think some rocking of the boat is due.

on Planet Venus, beautiful women with a problem might be known as beautiful women.

on Planet Earth, District Asia especially, beautiful women with a problem are known as damaged.

i sense the girl in the article is not in touch with reality. 34, self proclaim beauty, knowingly diabetic, wanting to be swept into whirlwind romance, based on absolute equality and non-sexual attraction.

if you dont know what i am talking by now, then by all means, venture ahead.

It is not that you have diabetics. But you allow others to degrade you because of it. In the US we have Star Athletes with diabetic conditions. Some of the most beautiful stars hve it too and they have families of their own!
As My grandmother said "men are like buses,there is always another one along" She Also said "Be seen"! The happier you project, the better people with perceive you.
