Hey Guys, this this is my first time on the forum & my reason for joining the forum is this thread... I am experiencing "Mood Swing" hell at the moment. I've had Type 1 Diabetes for almost 6 years (Diagnosed on my 27th Birthday). Since the diagnosis I have always suffered with mood swings & even depression (I have only just made the link). The mood swings & depression have caused me to lose friends, upset my family, a relationship breakup & even two job resignations.
Four moths ago I met a lovely man, someone who really cares about me & is helping me come to terms with my Diabetes (I now realise I never have). He is researching, encouraging me to keep a food & exercise diary & reminds me to test even when we're not together. The problem is the mood swings, they are taking their toll on our relationship. He understands, he doesn't fight back but he wants me to recognise what I'm doing. I do see it but I'm already "seeing red" & I can't stop myself... I'm so horrible to him; I tell him I want to end our relationship & that I should be on my own because I'm incapable of making someone happy.
I can't continue like this any longer; I am not living my life because of Diabetes & because of these mood swings.
I'm sure you will all advice I see my DSN or GP; I have an appointment on Wednesday however it's reassuring to hear I'm not the only one suffering with these problems (I truly thought there was something wrong with me).
N.B I'm on Novorapid & levemir and have been since diagnosis.
