[QUOTE="madwoman!, post: 55185, member: 15155"] Hi, I too have found myself in hospital twice through serious illness resulting from not following my insulin and tablet regime. I believe that it is a form of self harm. I only feel good emotionally when I am losing weight, drinking constantly and spending half my life on the loo! t is a hard concept for most people to grasp and understand. Most medical professionals can't seem to grasp what is going on in my mind. In the past I have seen a clinical psychologist, a mental health nurse, a psychiatrist, and his various assistants, and a behaviour modification expert. The usual answer is you must take your medication or your health will suffer. Tell me something I don't know!! After my last spell in hospital, about 6 weeks ago, the mental health team and diabetic team decided to see me fortnightly and work together. At the moment I am in control but I have gained a lot of weight and have been experiencing a lot of hypos which really upsets me. For the sake of my husband and children I am trying very hard but the urge to give up the regime is always there and it scares me that I can't think logically about this. I don't really think towards long term complications. I wish that I could give you positive advice and don't want to sound negative but at the same time I want you to know that you are not the only one that feels like you do and unless a person has experienced these feelings it is hard to understand. I think that at the moment I have to just take each day as it comes and not think long term. This would be my advice to you too. Try to be sensible each day and hopefully it will become a way of life for you as I hope that it will for me. [/QUOTE]
