Diabetes type 2 Hypochondria

[Water-Lily]

This isn't a real term but something made up for myself

Whenever I order out/splurg I always think "shit I have diabetes"

I think this is partly due to how my mom abused me into thinking I was always fat and unhealthy

Blood tests have shown that despite my overweight BMI (I am aware and working on it) I am healthy overall with no health problems

Still, like today (I ordered junk don't judge) I am already kicking myself thinking I will magically have diabetes

In my family it was just my grandfather and my great grandma. Mom, aunt, and some others have high blood pressure. My pressure is in the normal range and in general I am considered healthy despite my BMI which I have to work on

I have diabetes but I literally don't do any physical activity like none at all. My diet is also awful because I eat tons of salty foods. A few years ago I had blood tests show me I was prediabetes but I didn't listen because I didn't care.

I still don't really care even though around last year my diabetes progressed to a point where I now have to take medication for it. Being overweight alone won't necessarily lead to it but if it really bothers you that much then it might be time to start trying to reverse things before blood tests start showing you do have diabetes. As for me, I'll go on not caring about it not even if I go blind or my feet fall off or whatever else is supposed to happen.

I had those kinda thoughts when I was depressed and going hard on the sugar. Then I ended up getting diagnosed with type 2 a few years ago lol. And I've been super skinny my whole life. Now when I'm eating bad I have thoughts of "I'm slowly destroying my body" and worry about how much more painful life's gonna be as I get older and develop new problems

I'm def gonna get a test. If I had diabetes I feel I am as good as dead

I'm sorry for your diagnosis, you still in time to make it right, consider this act today a and of goodbye to sugar and junk food maybe? Wishing you well, hugs.

It can be very difficult to fight a depression/anxiety-fueled sugar addiction, especially once you have diabetes. I go back and forth between eating really well and really bad. It's hard to ignore short-term compulsions for the sake of long-term health when you're suicidal and don't want to live longer. But eating bad also feels like self harm in a way
