Honey,
I understand how you feel. My daughter was diagnosed at 17, but had graves when she was 16. Not many people understand how it effect children or adults. You "look" just fine. Therefore, people expect you to be "normal". Being a teenager is hard enough. High school is hard without anything to manipulate your changing hormones. Keep taking your meds. I read another post here where someone would just scream "I love you and I can’t fight anymore" Stay here and read all you can. Life is hard and you have been thrown a curve ball. Hang in there. Close your eyes, count to 10, tell yourself, this too shall pass. I have done the same thing…yell at my daughter, thinking this couldn’t possibly be all graves disease, but it can. However difficult it is, you will always be responsible for your actions. You just need to know what to expect from yourself. You are not crazy at all. This is the best place that I have found. Real people, going through the same thing. My daughter’s grades were fine in middle school too. Now, being senior, her GPA is 2.2. Do you have a 504 plan for school? Maybe an IEP. I’m new and can’t answer all your questions. I can only tell you what I have seen and felt with my daughter. You have alot on your plate, more than most kids and to have diabetes on top of it, well that has to upset you too. Is there anyone you can really talk to? Is your father willing to read the posts here? Just remember, you will get angry, but recognize your anger and do your part to manage it so that it is not harmful to you or your family, this involves your entire family. Take care of yourself.
All my love….remember…..this too shall pass…it will work out
Quinn
