[QUOTE="Patrick66, post: 2507068, member: 497846"] Long time no visit to this forum. Short story- Autistic, ADHD, Anxiety disorder, Dysthymia, Fibromyalgia. Type 2 Diabetes. Last two years have been pretty hellish and I know they have been for many. Covid has robbed us of family members, sister diagnosed with breast cancer, me sinking into a hole. I've been off sick from work for almost three months now. They brought in new systems and nobody knew what was going on and so everything went mad and I couldn't cope so had a mental breakdown. I was in a seriously dark place and an occupational health report was arranged which didn't actually come up with any solutions bar me resigning. Not exactly helpful but he wouldn't budge and now I'm stuck on a limb, still signed off but not knowing what the future holds. My diets seriously terrible. For the first 6-9 months I managed to keep my HbA1c between 42-48 but now its over 50 and I have just given up. I had covid which wrecked my sense of taste so nothing tastes very nice now apart from all the stuff thats bad for me and my desire to get any exercise at all has been ruined by this sense of hopelessness and the fact that my Fibromyalgia has got steadily worse to the point that some days I can barely move between sofa and bed. I feel absolutle useless and angry with myself. I keep on fighting but theres no light at the end of the tunnel. My partners in a bad place and we just seem to make no progress at all. I am so tired yet don't sleep well and am constantly on edge not knowing which way to turn. Anyway, thats it, rant over. Sorry. [/QUOTE]
