[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2281906, member: 451727"] Hi there, gosh, where to start other than to give you a big, virtual hug. There is no way any of us can sum up in a single response what might be going on, but my first thought was that you may need some mental health support? I always think how can we possibly manage and deal with a chronic health condition that takes up so much of your time, 24/7 if we are not in the right frame of mind mentally? I have no idea what comes first but I can imagine that trying to cope with diabetes for 23 years is a massive challenge for ANYONE, even if they're not having to cope with other issues. YOU are still here and it is clear you are still fighting this, hence your finding & posting on this site. That may sound a small thing but anyone in the grips of depression/despair or similar quite often cannot find the strength to do anything. None of us are medical Professionals and we cannot diagnose anything but I would ask that you continue to seek help in order to tackle WHY you are 'self harming' because that is what I feel people who know that their actions/lack of actions are harmful to them but feel compelled to do it anyway, are doing. Can you tell us what complications you have (if you don't mind) and maybe some background information about a typical day in your life. None of us can wave a magic wand although I wish I could, but believe me when I say we can do our best to help you and tell you about our experiences. I also reckon that it is NEVER too late to improve many of those complications as a type 1 diabetic (or type 2) and on this site you will get PLENTY of real life experiences and support. All the best to you love. xx [/QUOTE]
