I thought I would provide you with an update on how Sarah is doing. She was eventually moved to a ward closer to home 7 weeks ago, sadly she made another suicide attempt whilst there and they placed her in the PICU for 3 weeks. She eventually started to make progress with new medication and a...

PickyChick asked me to log in and post a reply. She's currently in hospital after being sectioned, a section 3 last week. She took a mixed overdose of meds including insulin and spent a few days in ICU, she wanted to discharge herself but they advised against it and because she wouldn't agree to...

I am still playing a waiting game. Have had an assessment this week with the mental health team, now waiting on whether they will book me in to see a psychiatrist, they should given my past history, but I am not sure they are taking how I am feeling seriously. They seem to be missing so much...

Ironic, I went to a mental health thing for MIND 6 years ago at the Houses of Parliament, where I met my local MP... there has still be no improvement in crisis care in my area. It's like fighting a losing battle, I use to fight, I use to volunteer for a local mental health charity but I have no...

Thought I would provide an update. Saw consultant and am aware before my appointment with then another doctor from a prior appointment this morning phoned her, I believe concerns were raised with this doctor by a dietician I had seen. Diabetic consultant was nice and wanted me to see my GP that...

Thank you to everyone for your replies. I didn't go to hospital, I feel they will do nothing other than a slap on the wrist and go home and take your insulin. I know I am putting my health at risk, but I don't care anymore. I weighed myself and felt relief at the fact I have lost some pounds...

I tested my BS today, first time since August. I expected it to be in 20's but it was over 33, monitor could not provide a proper reading.

Thanks for your reply. I don't have family support, the one family member in my life I am a carer for and I feel deeply trapped, it is complicated, I am caring for someone who was largely a cause of my mental health problems. I vowed when my mum died I would run for the hills and do anything...

Thought I would update. I've continued to neglect my diabetes and not taken any meds or insulin for a few weeks. The DSN phoned yesterday for BS readings after my last appointment and I explained to her my current state of mind, she's now booked me in to see the Consultant next week. I finally...

Thank you, I will.

Thank you. I initially thought who I called was the NHS Crisis Line but it wasn't but it was helpful to talk to them and offload. I am quite an isolated person so often feel very alone.

Thank you.

Thank you all for your replies. The weight I lost was because I stopped the binging for a while and became obsessed with what I did eat. I wouldn't eat after 7pm or until 12pm the next day, but even on Levermir my BS were still sky high. I don't eat chips, I hate them. I do eat bread, rice and...

I was diagnosed with a Binge Eating Disorder several years ago. It has improved but I still eat the wrong foods the majority of the time, especially when I am emotional. I have Borderline Personality Disorder.

I'm a Type 2 for 11 years. For the last 3 years tablet medication and those new injectables have failed to bring down my HbA1c. I was finally started on Levemir Insulin in May and increased the dose to reach 120 units at 8pm and 60 units at 8am. I was also on Metformin, but other diabetic meds...
