went into a sports shop asking if they had a pair of Nikes in an 8, the guy looked at me like I was an alien and told me I'd be better in the men's section while laughing at me, made me rather embarrassed xx

Not a good day here my wife is literally 'off her head' today. I have just about had enough of the constant stress and worry and, would you believe, blame. She constantly blames me for the things she cannot blame unknown 'others' for. I hate her illness but there seems there is no stopping it. I am not sure we will survive this.

Today utter trivia, a flake of paint, something I cannot immediately locate there. All down to people trying to harm her.....not!!!

The slightest damage caused by wear and tear she firmly believes is because someone is out to get her. Its so sad. And so wrong.

I am tired of it all. 35 years of this problem is more than enough.

Instead of thinking reasonably why something might be damaged she immediately thinks its someone out to get her.

And there is no reasoning her out of her thinking.

I hate this.

Tired. Sad. Lost.

An awful stressful situation for you Gwynn. Your wife sounds very unwell with that level of paranoia. Does she have access to a CPN to ring for advice or a Crisis Team from the mental health services? I know mental health support is incredibly difficult to get but you may need to speak to her GP because her need for help creates your need for help. Sending best wishes.
 
Oh @Gwynn what a dreadful situation you are both in. I wish I had some wise words to ease your worries but I’m simply at a loss as you seem to have tried everything and you said she won’t accept any help from others. Is there any chance your gp can get her some respite so that you can have a well deserved break. I’m so sad for you :(

Oh @Gwynn i can't imagine how difficult it must be. Please...ring your GP, mental health team/consultant, anyone to get you both some support or even some respite.

Honestly never felt so embarrassed in my life! My mum's a 7 and I think my dad is a 9, what winds me up most is I bet if my big cousin was stood next to me at the time and he'd told them he was a 12-13 he wouldn't have been made to feel bad like I was, really put me off shopping for footwear in shops xx

I can only echo what everyone else has said. 35 years is an awfully long time for it not to have been sorted out.
 
G'day all. 7.6 @ 7.35am for me. 🙂 @Kaylz, that's diabolical, the gits! We're mostly 7s and 8s in my family. I luv shopping for clothes but only from catalogues. So easy, in fact too easy!

@Gwynn I'm so sorry for what you are going through, I don't think people realise how difficult it is unless they've been through it. Our Dad used to drag our friends outside to show them the wires where 'They' were listening in. Just the old BT wires. o_O

@MAC2020 I don't know!! Go AWOL and desert us until you wake up one morning on the magic number and then think it is OK to swan in here to get a pat on the back..... Well IT IS! CONGRATULATIONS! 😉

lol!!! Gotta try, Hehehe!!!

happy birthday @Michael12421, hope you enjoyed your day, get well soon, and @KARNAK too (the getting well part, not the birthday)

well done @EllsBells and @Lanny. Good company indeed!!

thanks all. thanks @Northerner @SueEK @adrian1der @eggyg @rebrascora

@Maca44 not catching up quickly enough...sigh. Can't wait to get some restful sleep when in the 4s.

@ColinUK those are great bp numbers. Jell.

@SueEK I'm with you, 30 mins in and out. If I can't find what I'm looking for I abort the mission. Mind you if I was a svelte hour glass size 8 or 10, perhaps I would do a lot more retail therapy indulging in hours of clothes shopping and mirror posing. Ahhh, those were the days...sigh.

@Gwynn so sorry you have to experience this. It's always hard on the partner. The only consolation I can think of is it's the disease talking and acting up and not the woman you married all those years ago. You can get through this. Stay strong. Remember "Never Give Up. Never Surrender" You reminded me of this, which I recite on trying days.
 
3.8 for me this morning after a Lift tab half an hour earlier for a 3.3. (just had one as there is no appreciable insulin on board to take me down and I am sick of being high) No change in Levemir. ie 25 units yesterday morning and none last night. Went to bed at 9.30pm on 7.4 and was 6.3 at 1.45am with a lovely flat fairly horizontal line and then started dropping just after 2am. Now that I am up and about and a coffee inside me I am a lovely 5.2 but not in any way trying to claim that.
I was just starting to think after my recent nights of being persistently high, that I might need to start introducing a unit or two on evening Levemir back into the equation.... but clearly not now.
 
Morning folks 7.1 today. Have new registrar coming in to sit with me this morning to give them an overview of referrals, dictation, 2WKR’s etc. They have to see every part of the surgery before they start with their mentor which is such a good idea as they then appreciate what everyone does.
@Michael12421 hiw are you feeling this morning? X
@rebrascora hope you have a settled day and we’ll done on the sneaky HS there x
Have a good day all x
 
5.6 for me this morning. I had a mild fever last night and hopefully that‘s the end of the side effects.
 
Good morning. 6.5 today. Apparently the carrot cake I had for supper last night doesn’t form part of my five a day! Who knew? 😉

No craic today except hoping the garage will let us know what’s going on with our car. Oh, and there’s very little frost today. Hurrah! My apple tree blossom is just on its way out and I was worried.

Have a good day all. 🙂

@Lisa66 enjoy your haircut, one more sleep for me.
 
Thank you @SueEK I am feeling so much better this morning. All I had yesterday was one mug of tea, 2 indigestion tablets and a very small whisky and hot water. I was quite high all day and tried to have a sandwich before bed but I didn't fancy eating and was 13.3 before bed so had nothing at all.
 
5.5 again this morning.

Pilates at the studio today rather than online. Also the music shop is open so I get a chance to look at the options for my next Music theory books. Now that is exciting, if you are bit nerdy about music. I started this in lockdown and I am loving it.

Enjoy the haircut @Lisa66 . A lot more getups before mine but I will resist cutting the fringe anymore and wait.
Hope you feel better today @Michael12421

Enjoy your day whatever you do.
