[QUOTE="JamieT, post: 1604358, member: 448057"] Hi guys Not really sure how this works, not really sure why I'm doing this either. I've just had an awful day i guess... I'm a type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump, i was diagnosed with diabetes when i was 6 years old, I started with a pump when i was 14. I became depressed around 18 years old, due to stress from education, my family and my health. I'm now 22 and studying at University in my final year, I had a presentation to give today to my class but had to leave due to a severe hypo.. i believe the cause to be pooling of the insulin, as well as not having breakfast. I had to leave and get help mid way through the discussion. I'm just so ashamed and angry with myself. I know we all have bad days and this is just another really bad one but I'm just so tired. University and life in general is just so stressful. I know university is meant to be stressful and a constant flow of work, but this is just ****. I work so hard but it all feels pointless when i mess up like this. To be fair to the university when similar things have happened before they are very good at allowing a suitable amount of time to catch up.. but thats the issue. I'm just sick of excuses and catching up. I dont want anymore sick days, i just want to be in uni and normal. I guess i'm just burnt out in alot of aspects of my life.. Just wondering if there are any other diabetics and depressed people who have suffered a hypo at the worst time? How do you deal with it all and stay positive? [/QUOTE]
