Diabetes Talking

Question:

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Ok so since Friday I have been injecting and lancing and doing this crazy thing to bring my sugar levels down—-works—-they are down, so now why do I feel so damned depressed?  I think maybe I am coming out of the fog of shock and realizing that this is my life and I don’t know what to do about it besides what I am doing now with my diet and insulin—-just starting some exercise. <sigh  I just want everything to go back to normal and not have to whine about this anymore.  I am alittle afraid too because things can happen and there are things I am more prone to getting too.  I am scared to death I will have reaction either high or low and not realize it until I am in serious trouble. I have to really look at things in my life now—-stressors, kids, therapy and just all of the things that make up my world and start weeding through what is good and what is bad that I can throw away.  Still I am left with being bipolar and on insulin.  <sigh I don’t make sense.  I just needed to vent.  I am feeling sorry for myself.  I am very proud of my ability to do the scary needle thing and do it quickly and well.  To me that is an accomplishment.  I just can’t figure me out. <Sigh <sigh <Sigh don’t mind me but if you have any hugs to spare could I have a few?

People that have the courage to address their problem and try to get help deserve a lot of hugs.  It isn’t easy. I hear about all these different disorder like bipolar and wish there was a shot the doctors could give to make it all better. But the most imoportant thing is to laugh at yourself and say I am what I am and go on. Marilyn

I would feel sorry for myself too. Being in a family with numerous diabetics, it scares me a lot and I get checked every year. I’m sorry you’re going through all of this. Hugs? Any time. Mary Beth

I’m not the huggy-wuggy type, but I hear you.  Nothing wrong with what you said, diabetes is a serious disease.  I had no idea until I went to the class with wombn.  Don’t beat yourself up, your reactions are totally understandable.
