Message: <blockquote data-quote="woollygal" data-source="post: 1984572" data-attributes="member: 489059">Hold on in there.Completely understand where you are coming from.I was diagnosed August 20 last year. Officially.Unofficially on August 11 when I went in with kidney stones.I’m several months in and the constant preparing fir meals and snacks to make sure I eat properly is a nightmare. Sometimes I just can’t. I have to go wild and wing it. Those days are usually disastrous.I still can’t be around sweets. Still eat too many. I seem to have this constant dull bland taste in my mouth that doesn’t disappear. I just want to eat something that has a strong flavour. I never seem to find that anymore.Tonight out of nowhere I’ve got very low. Started crying and no idea why.Possibly because I have hospital appt tomorrow as check up for kidney stones (only 9 months later). So for some reason this has bought everything flooding back. Yet I then feel utterly stupid because I’ve lost weight (could have done better) and levels have dropped. I also feel pathetic for whingeing because it’s just type 2. I’m not in insulin, I don’t inject, I have a good life.But god, the constant preparation. I feel like I work in the week then the weekend is just cooking fir the week. It is so interminably boring and responsible.I know I have to do it, but time off would be lovely.So whinge away. Because I think we all deserve that sometimes. If we don’t allow ourselves to feel sorry for ourselves sometimes we would go mad.So big hugs and good luck. You have fir this. We all have.</blockquote>
