Newly Diagnosed and Really Pissed Off I’m a 22 year old woman, by most standards very healthy (work out regularly, eat fairly well, take good care of myself, regular check ups, etc.) had covid in early September, and was diagnosed as a type one two days ago. I spent two days in the hospital being poked and prodded every which way, have cried and cried, and now I’m truly just really fucking pissed off. I’m pissed at the government for not taking covid more seriously from the beginning, at the pharmaceutical industry for without a doubt limiting research for a cure, and at the universe for dealing me this card. I love sweets. I always have. I never imagined having to control myself when I want a piece of cake or a donut after a long day. 
I know it’s manageable, but it’s really new to me. And it sucks. I got my Dexcom put on today which has been a relief to my fingertips, but just still coming to terms with my new normal.
