i was very similar for a couple of years after diagnosis, i think its the build up of hidden anger/ even if we think we arent bothered its a massive life change and affects some of us emotionally more than others
 
Hi David,

Really sorry to see, but you have joined our club, and the moody meldrew days and lack of anger management is a real issue,

Ive been T1 for just over 3 years, and was quite passive, but now if you push the wrong buttons..... well you can guess the rest, I am also well controlled, rarely ever below 4.5, and rarely ever above 8.5, HBA1C blod test 3 weeks ago was 5.5, so no real massive BG swings , I dont carry any excess weight, and very active, but the mood swings are just not controllable, so ive not figured that bit out yet, but if anyone else has, i would like to know how they do it as well , good luck and stay fit, ... and try to stay calm...

The Type 1 diabetes curse can last your whole life.
I've had diabetes for 43 years and for the past 10 I've been taking a little tranquillizer daily, to stop that rage that appears to start in your toes and ends by bursting out your head.
 
Yes!!! I've been type 1 for about 2 and a half years and I used to be the happiest person I know, now I'm so volatile, especially at home.
I was definitely not like this before and seem to have no control over it. I thought I'd try just not responding angrily or opening my mouth when I shouldn't but I don't even feel it coming on, it just happens. It will be interesting to hear others thoughts and if anyone has any idea how to deal with it.
I'm so glad I'm not alone.
 
I am seeing the doctor next week about this same thing, I go off on one for hardly any reason at all. It's almost as if I'm a teenager again and having A spoilt brat tantrum. And rebels against anything I don't agree with

I've been type1 for 11 months. 47 I had to rebuild my life and got through many hard times with a positive attitude and faith that all will be well in the end. I built a house and a new life with my kids and grand kids. I was so happy. Diabetes changed all that. I hide my anger well, but I feel it so often. More than anything I am angry at myself for not just accepting it. Only now have I lost a lot of weight(6kg) I now apparently have a thyroid problem! :0( I just want to be me again

Been to the doctors now, been told I am deeply depressed see my thread "mood swings". I have been referred to a mental health for assessment, if you are suffering like this then I suggest that you go and see your doctor

This has made me think, after reading it all again.
I've always had a problem with tantrums and mood swings . Am suffering from depression and severe anxiety anyway
But since controlling my BG levels (in an attempt to prevent/delay Diabetes) my 'flying-off-the-handle' moments are much better.
 
I've been diabetic for 17 years now. (I'm 22) I think people just thought I was a very angry person whilst growing up!
After speaking to other people and diabetics about it I've came to realise it's not just me!

Some things annoy me more than others, and if I'm hungry then I can be a nightmare to be around!

It's getting better though, and the ones who love me are understanding, as I'm sure everyone else's loved ones are.

Hope these replies have made you realise it's just a part of the big D and we are all pretty similar.
