[QUOTE="svalentine60, post: 1857529, member: 487702"] I have noticed with a much lower carb diet this week that the pain has decreased. my stomach is still often swollen and some ache at times but the back pain and more intense pain has gone. I don't know if there is any connection. I find it too difficult to make friends or go out. I'm 57 and its just too hard for me. It's hard to be around me I think. Always crying, always sad, no energy. My social anxiety has pushed everyone away for years. I'm desperate to talk about my daughter when i see anyone and it makes everyone uncomfortable. I've never received any counselling or help re her death and because of the way she died (Accidental overdose of a combination of alcohol, diazapam etc) i sometimes felt people had less empathy. Certainly those investigating her death had none and i couldn't see her as they advised me not to, or even have her funeral for three months. Even then it had to be a simple funeral because it was all i could afford. I have such huge guilt because she was dead for four days alone before she was found. Her urn is in my living room and i talk to her all the time but the guilt and utter desolation is still as intense even though it will be three years at xmas. Her last words to me were via text saying "I will be fine". Those were the last words on her phone. Her life was very hectic and she had many problems but she was such a kind, strong young woman and I miss her. I'd had to tell her she couldn't come for xmas because my son said he would leave if she did. She then sent the text about it. I deserve the guilt. That is the last time i saw her (Sorry when i start talking about her i can't stop. I do have an appt in 3 weeks to discuss this with my gp). I can find no support groups for this kind of death or for my anxiety where i live in Devon. . I do try to talk to my son but he is being treated for depression and after 3 years of uni has only one small module to complete to finish and get his degree. He says he doesn't want to do it. He has little patience or empathy for me and can be quite unkind. But i know this is the depression because he is a lovely young man normally. Just not someone who is much interested in me. Sorry for the miserable response and i'm sorry i've talked about non diabetes related things. But thank you for trying to help. I am so glad I came here. [/QUOTE]
