Dear @kory_herzog ,
That's a constant thought everyone else may share, especially after the pandemic.

At different timepoints of our lives, we may find ourselves struggling with different challenges for example,
as a student trying to keep up with school,
as a young adult trying to get a new job,
as a young parent trying to make ends meet for the new family,
as an older adult trying to keep health going...
But we know we will always walk out well. We just need time and patience.

If it's a short-lived moment of uncertainty, fear and stress, let's learn to take a breather, slow down our pace, and think to ourselves for a moment in our headspace that:
it is OK to not have everything to be OK,
it is OK to take breaks,
it is OK to not score always,
it is OK to let slip a chance because a better one will come...
Stop been too hard on ourselves. Learn to let go of things we cannot control.
Take up a hobby. Take time to exercise. Take a moment to call your loved one.


If the anxiety, tension, fear and mood do not seem to go away, and dark thoughts keep coming in over a long period of time, please speak with a mental health professional, counsellor or see a doctor. You may be experiencing mental health problem and early treatment is most effective. Check out https://otium-mindhealth.com for more tips.

Stay positive.

Hi @Kaose07 , some patients may be able to have their type 2 diabetes go into remission. It depends on how severe the diabetes is and how long the diabetes had been. 

Those who have shorter duration of diabetes and are able to have diabetes controlled with oral medications alone, if they have very strict diet control and exercise with the help of dieticians and doctors and they manage to lose alot of weight healthily (if they were overweight before), that can help them come off medications and still have normal glucose readings.

Obese patients who undergo bariatric surgery can also experience remission from diabetes.

From your history, it is likely to be an inflammatory lymph node. It will usually become smaller once the infection is treated.  Sometimes, the swelling may not disappear completely.  If it is a few mm, it may be monitored for increasing size or pain.  If you are worried of cancer, please consult a doctor for an assessment.

Hi @Sagarsingh29f the fluid on the eye surface is called the tear film, which is a complex mixture of oil, water, and mucus that coats the cornea, conjunctiva, and sclera, keeping the eye moist and lubricated. Try not to touch the eye as doing so can introduce dirt or dust, and potentially lead to infection.
