Having a bit of a "Can't cope" day.

[KARNAK]

PS. @KARNAK.... Ted, where are you when I need a drinking partner??

I`m here @rebrascora, Barbara sorry you have been feeling out of sorts my goodness you do lead a busy life I`m knackered just reading about it. A couple of jugs of what you fancy really helps at times like this also you were able to come to the forum and discuss how you feel and the response shows how well you are thought of. I hope it is/was just a glitch with your big D journey and life returns to some form of normality for you, I love your horses which brings back good memories for me. You can call on me anytime you want a drinking session I`ve just stocked up so you got lots of choices,😉 I do hope you have a better day today, sending you lots of {{{HUGS}}} take care. xxx🙂

Well, after having a lovely omelette and salad for breakfast yesterday and keeping my levels pretty nicely in range most of the day, I lost my way mentally last night before dinner and couldn't get my head around even basic stuff, although I did eventually get out of the house and feed and muck out the horses sometime between midnight and 2am. Not had anything to eat other than a couple of cups of coffee since my omelette and quite enjoying not feeling hungry but worried that once I do eat something, I will lose control and binge. I know the longer I leave it, the worse it will be, but that is not helping.
I had a few anxiety attacks last night and just couldn't cope with the whole issue of deciding what to cook and calculating doses and perhaps even an element of potentially spoiling my nice "in range" readings of the day. Ticking along on basal seems like a simple option although I still needed 2 units of Fiasp for DP this morning.

I love food too much for this to go on for any length of time, so whilst I joked to my partner that I am on hunger strike, it is not in itself a big issue, but I think I just need some time out from the daily grind of food and insulin calculations, which on top of the current mental strain of the pandemic, is feeling like the last straw.

Hi Barbara so sorry to hear you having rotten day, you have been so helpful to me and slim Jim since we joined in March, sending you virtual hug from sunny Suffolk... hope you feel more your old self tomorrow... do something nice for yourself and take a break from all the depressing news! Botticelli is on Utube at 6pm tomorrow from Milan ... fancy watching that? Oh and you have horses? So jealous I used to ride love horses... sending our best xx
