Cannot go on.

I don't think there's a single diabetic that hasn't had the feeling, "I just can't do this anymore." And I'm sure your problems are deeply felt and seem insurmountable.
But please focus on the word "SEEM."
If your sugar's not where you need it to be, those feelings can be overwhelming. Be sure you are talking, not the sugar. When my sugar is high, all ill-tempered and feel severely defeated. I take my shot and I become me again. You know how you feel out of yourself when your sugar's too low? That **** sugar affects us.
We are here for you when you need to talk. I sincerely hope something said here will help you hang on.
 
My heart goes out to you - you have been given some very good advice from many here on the forum but all of it requires you to do SOMETHING - and that is not easy when your heart is sick. Let me tell you a little of my story: I started smoking and drinking alcohol when I was 14 years old. When I was 18 I was having "black outs" and had no idea where I had been the night before. By 20 I was having short spells of "black outs" and had no idea where I was one minute before. By age 22 I was virtually an alcoholic. Always drunk; always getting into fights; once tried to murder a man because of drink - I was a horrible person that had no friends and people shunned me.

Then someone gave me a King James Bible. I had never read the Bible in my whole life. So I started at the back, thinking that it was the last chapter and wondered how the story ended. It was the Book of Revelation. I read for 8 and a half hours and could not stop. I cried out to God for mercy and His help. IT CHANGED MY LIFE. It gave me something worth living for. That was January 1964. 52 years ago and now I am still reading the King James Bible.

I have a wonderful wife and two adult children and 3 grandchildren and we all read the King James Bible - try it, you have nothing to lose and a LIFE to gain.

We have ALL had periods in our lives when we felt like it would be better if we ended it right now.

But please don't give us the PAIN of not knowing your progress. WE WANT TO HELP.

Lizdeluz speaks for many of us. Please keep in touch. We need you to live. Many of us have been there and got help from the others who frequent this forum. Stay on line. Call Samaritans. Call anybody. Let them know you need help. You cannot just leave your family, they need you. We need another survivor.o_O
 
I am very concerned for the OP I have been through a very similar experience on another forum and it did not have a happy ending. It effected every one on that forum for a long time @ufukof please if you are ok please please let us know.
 
Oh dear, this is very worrying. Like everyone else, I have been waiting for ufukof to come back and tell us how he is, in the hope that maybe he got some face-to-face help, or at least by phone. I wonder, is it possible that one of the mods can contact him by a more direct means? @tim2000s @Juicyj on the site at the mo.

@ufukof - if you're reading these posts, but just don't have the energy to post anything, that's ok - just a quick 'I'm here' would be fine till you're ready.

I have been in bed for the most part,hiding from everything, as i have done for a huge part of my life,Have never been as sociable as i am in my mind !, not used to verbalising or being able to get things out. am a very irresponsible person,should never have taken on the responsibility of a dog, but did in a moment of mania, but have put on him all of my fears,worries,anger,bad eating habits and even the worst of my manic depression bouts which he mimics and suffers to the point of me somehow snapping out and getting back on course `short term` for him ! he is a bullmastiff , now 7 1/2 years old and 62 kilos in pain, with medicated joint problems he is with me 24/7,due to separation anxiety stress,which he like me internalises. for him giving rise to ear,eye,and throat issues .I cope by going out with `kujo`late at night, have managed to keep appointments so far, for psyc,drs, scans,tests etc etc,often by staying up all night and getting to the places many hours early in my homemade campervan. the `end` never laves me and is always the only answer not only for me, but for all those that i continue to affect !,until another sleep comes
