Writing is the best therapy

Years ago, I tried blogging about T1D on Facebook, but every time I wrote a new blog entry, I would end up deleting  it. People would ask questions, and I just could not bring myself to go into detail.   I wanted to be open and honest about my feelings regarding T1D and my other health issues, but I could not bring myself to do that.

 Now I am proud-I need to toot my own horn just a little here-that I can blog and keep a FB page also entitled "Living the Sweet Life since 2004." A bit cliche for a diabetes blog, but oh well.  Small steps, bit by bit. Even now, it is hard for me to write about T1D, but I'm making progress with this blog, right?
But I do feel better just writing a blog entry and/or posting a new status on FB.  I guess you could say its kind of like a therapy for me. I tried counseling soon after I was diagnosed with T1D, but the psychologist really wasn't able to help me much.  It was too soon, I guess. But that's a story for another entry. Perhaps the next one.

Thanks for reading!
