I am facing a really stressful situation at work caused by my fault- so that doesn't help. I am not sleeping very well and that together with the gut wrenching feeling of stress has made my blood sugar levels rise.
I am feeling a lot sorry for myself and tonight (in Australia) could really do with some chocolate to help me relax and potentially get to sleep. Still haven't got the taste for the 85% dark chocolate- I can now stomach it but it certainly doesn't help me relax. I'm having a gin and tonic with diet Tomic water that doesn't raise my levels but to be honest while it sort of helps me relax it doesn't fill the hole from a good old sugar hit. Are there any other carb addicts- or anyone with suggestions about how to relax. I suffer from anxiety anyway and as soon as I try to sleep my mind goes into hyperdrive worrying about this situation. I have felt sick to my stomach for the last 4 days and it will be a couple of days before I can talk to my boss about it.
Just looking for some ideas- yeah and maybe a bit of sympathy.
