I agree that therapy is your best option. Also, trying to get as much info into natural ways to help with depression and anxiety. Meditation and yoga. Living with Type 1 Diabetes is difficult and tiring. So you do need all the help you can get. I have OCD, depression, anxiety, and type 1 for 20 years now. These things do help. I also recommend the book, The Mood Cure as well as connecting with other diabetics on youtube, instagram, facebook, tudiabetes. It helps!Arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859090454827044815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173119484684101202.post-81358564344800752972017-01-19T20:48:38.829-05:002017-01-19T20:48:38.829-05:00Having been in a similar situation (I never tried ...Having been in a similar situation (I never tried it), I can say that the thing about insulin is that it is not dissimilar to any medication. Take enough aspirin (who knows how much) could also be disastrous. <br /><br />Does a pump promote such thoughts? I know it does not for me, I hate being low. In addition, it is important to remember that being or going low is not really the issue. There are several factors that figure into a fatal low. Things like the rapid lowering, fat in and on the body and heat all play some part in the calculus. Yes death by lows do happen and yes aside from my wife being home I might not be writing this today. But accomplishing this on purpose? I sense it woudl be very hard to do then ignore going low.<br /><br />Therapy, anger management, work on acceptance and getting out of the bubble that can devour us seems to be in order. These things helped me a great deal. I hope you can find the same peace I have uncovered by working so hard on it. Rick Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927227605885917738noreply@blogger.com
