- HIGH blood sugars!
Ok so I don't know where to start really.
Well everytime my blood sugar goes high even above 7.5 I start to feel very anxious and it is disturbing my everyday life because I am constantly checking to make sure I'm not above that and if I'm 8 for example I'll inject 4 units of insulin because I'm so scared and I'll go very low but for some reason I don't care about that! 1.5 earlier due to over correction and I couldn't care less because I know that my body will not be affected in the long term by it.
Now my problem is that everytime I go high even a little bit I find I think back to what I used to think, like self harm.
Everytime I go high I have thoughts of self harm! And unfortunately earlier my blood sugar was 7.0 2 hours after lunch but despite not eating anything 2 hours later it was 10!
I felt like I couldn't breath I was in so much panic in the end I gave into my thoughts and started to cut!
I'm so ashamed of myself for doing this!
What do I do because this anxiety about highs isn't the anger it used to be it's got a lot worse
