[QUOTE="jokei, post: 2361122, member: 533785"] So, having read the literature on what to do about burnout, I cannot at all say I am impresed. * I don't want to discuss this with friends, family members or any kind of support, that is just further reinforcement of how I hate being diabetic. * Give myself a treat day. A treat day would involve not being a diabetic - but, let's say I do, a "treat day" doess nothing to balance out the grinding tedium of it all and pre-diabetess for me a treat day would have involved cocaine and lots of alcohol and an element of surprise at where I woke up, but none of that now. A chocolate bar? Wow. It's been burnout ssince day one and I'm now in year 6 and even with the odd indulgence here and there, it'ss still the ssame grinding bull ****. Go see my GP? Well, maybe if the GP had had ssome competence and actually advised me I could die if I didn't go see the pre-diabetes team or whatever, then perhaps I'd have some sembleance of not wanting to make the GP cry at every given opportunity, she's got Tourettes, every time I go she tells me she'ss got Tourettes, I've been asking her about her medication for Tourettes, because apparently I'm the GP now, maybe we should put it in my medical notes that my GP has Tourettes? Change my GP, they're all the same insipid * that irritate me. Yeah, it's a bit angry, but for 6 years I've been nothing but angry. [/QUOTE]
