Hi
I am really struggling at the moment. I have been trying to communicate my concerns with my doctors for so long I’ve lost all hope or fight to look after myself at all. I really struggle with MDI due to complex mental health issues and I know a pump would take away some of that struggle (easier to radically accept amongst other things) but my drs and diabetic nurses are treating me like I’m stomping my feet and being stubborn despite me giving a reasonable, rational argument.
The diabetic nurse in particular says I am capable of making the decision to not do the injections and she can’t convince me to do them so there’s nothing she can do, so they discharged me. I keep trying to stress that an insulin pump would change my quality of life, it’s been a 10 year struggle where my voice isn’t being heard at all. They even said they don’t want to be responsible for me, and ignore when I say doing MDI makes me feel suicidal.
I haven’t left my bed other than to use the bathroom since May, I really feel like giving up, my eyes are definitely getting worse, I try and do my injections but they trigger my ptsd and I struggle to do the repeated action of giving it due to my adhd and then of course the diabulimia doesn’t help. I’ve sought out therapy and been in therapy for 12 years, but I keep hitting a wall with the drs. I’m exhausted mentally, entirely burnt out and am done with repeating myself. I wish I could just do the injections but I really can’t stick it out without burning out.
Has anyone been in a similar boat? I don’t know what to do, I feel like I’m just being left to die with no concern of my mental or physical health.
Thanks
