Hi Paul, sounds like you are having a horrible time. I can't tell how long you've been diabetic..whether to feelings are due to a new or recent diagnosis...lots of diabetics go through a really down patch at first until they get things under control. I was I guess fortunate in as much as I got mine from steroids post transplant...but having been warned it was a risk, I wasn't shocked and frankly it was a fair trade off. I'm wondering if it's coz it's fresh...raw..or coz recent levels haven't been good, or you've been unwell over it (complications). Sometimes there are answers or real help (eg. if its about getting in control of levels or if its about something physical easily put right by those with more experience), but we all get down if we let it get to us from time to time...and maybe just need to let of steam in a relevant place. This is that place. Even just chatting to others in a similar boat (or at least part of the no nice sweeties or tasty grub fleet). Anyway..say some more...it's easier here if you don't want to be negative or emotional about it at home..or just for support. There is plenty here...so..I hope we hear more from you. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU - you're hacked off and emotional...life's easier if your the cold and switched off sort..I'd rather be emotional and switched on...but with a handle on it...so let's see if we can help with the handle. aNother Paul

Basically, what pleinster said above so well.

Hi ..... I guess we all have ups and downs, with or without diabetes. How long have you been feeling like this? When were you diagnosed and are you on meds?

We all go through those times Paul. There is nothing wrong with you. Living with diabetes is a challenge, constantly having to think about what to eat etc etc. It's easy to then get down about the situation.

If your private life is great try to remember that and build on it. Maybe walking the dog at different times with your hubby would help. I've been in the 'don't want to go out' mode but my partner has always dragged me out and I've then thanked him.

Hope things get better, the forum is a great place to share anything - just remember we've all been through it, you are not alone.

Hi Paul, Think lots of us have felt like you at times, so you are not alone, my blood sugars were all over the place at first couldn't get my head into gear, it all seemed to much to take in. Not knowing what to buy or eat was a nightmare, then I joined this site and it was the best thing I ever did. The people on here are so supportive and friendly, I was very tearful too. Now 6 months on my bg readings are in the normal range I have lost weight stuck to the LCHF diet and feel fine, better than I did, I have my off days sometimes but can not put everything down to diabetes. Stick with us and you will soon get there quicker than you think, try to enjoy every day that's what I do now.

Hi @paulhumbersone,

Your profile post says that you have had diabetes for over 20 years and have suffered with neuropathy.
There are times when we just cannot take anymore, the relentless day in day out regime, the constant reminder that we have a chronic condition, having to be careful with what we eat, other people's attitudes towards us, it really is no wonder that we shy away from other people and want to be left alone.
I would ask you to consider if you are suffering from diabetes burnout. You are entitled to psychological help for the way that you are feeling and please go and see your G.P. and tell him how you feel.

There is along thread about diabetes burnout, have a read and you will see that you are not alone.
