Friday February 7, 2025 | Anxiety Disorders and Diabetes

I knew this when I was 5 and no one had to tell me this. So is this really true? But because I have selective mutism, my learning challenging and people think that I am stupid. It is that communication thing that people think that I'm stupid. I know the highlighted and BIG LETTERS SOUNDS unreasonable, I just want to get across to people that I am anxious all the time! Do I have to start cursing for you people to hear me? I will. I know that BIG MOTHER OF ALL CURSE WORDS. I bet no one knew that did they? Actually, I got it from those kids at the hospital in Galveston when I was in the hospital back in 1984. So I knew about that word when I was about 9 or 10 years old.

Actually when I was 4 years old I felt like I didn't belong because I was trying to tell myself how or where I got my selective mutism and I felt that way for a long time. Maybe my dad has ADHD? Perhaps my parents have ADHD and it somehow turns into autism in children? High-functioning Autism. I think one of my parents has either ADHD or ADD or both. Or My mom has ADD and my dad has ADHD or it is vice versa. Is it possible to hide autism or ADHD? Or people can just look at me notice right off that something was wrong with me but they couldn't quite put their finger on it? My parents tried to teach me things of some sort. I just did my own thing. Like my mom put it "march to the beat of my own drum". Either tell me or comment below in the comments section. I know lots of people have different opinions about this topic and the other topics in this blog. All people's opinions are welcome and I can decide who to listen to.    NO I WILL NOT LISTEN TO JASON.

I went to the doctor yesterday on Thursday February 6, and my doctor told me I had high blood sugar. I am wondering if very high cortisol levels could be the culprit? I will turn my mind inward, and do exercises for high cortisol levels and cutting sugar and drinking more water.

Yes, people with anxiety disorders may be more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. This is because anxiety and diabetes have a bi-directional relationship, meaning that people with either condition may be at a higher risk of developing the other.

Explanation

Stress hormones

When you're anxious, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones can make it harder for insulin to work properly, which can lead to high blood sugar levels.

Genetics

Genetic factors may play a role in the relationship between anxiety and diabetes.

My grandfather had diabetes and passed away from it. My grandmother had diabetes. My aunt Lisa now has it. I would love to keep from getting it if I can turn my mind inward and reduce my stress and cortisol levels. People tend to forget that they can die from very high stress and cortisol levels. (i think) I would love to be right but people think this sounds so silly. I'm not saying that people will die from stress though. 

This is the quote that I made up and like to say Everytime someone says that I am stupid mainly Jason.  

"I may have selective mutism but I am certainly not stupid!"
