My coping mechanisms tend to involve watching favorite horror movies where horrible monsters eat people (30 Days of Night or Jennifer's Body), or taking a bath using the bloodbath red salts and reading a trashy vampire novel.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

I feel like a failure becuase I can't do this therapy homework.
I don't know how to answer the questions. I did one in the group and I just couldn't figure out what was expected and it felt like a trap - circle everything statement that applies. Okay I did that. And it was about 7. Now come up with a challenge thing or behavior change or something for each one you circled. But that didn't happen at the end.
Plus I was trying to take notes and my handwriting has gotten so bad I can barely read what I wrote. I'm whining now. I can't do all of the answers it will be a miracle if I can do one.

Askye, what you just wrote is one of the answers the homework is seeking. It's not about what's expected (I hope) it's about what's true. That's not a failure. This is where you are, it gives the providers info to help you. That's the point, it's not pass/fail.

sarameg is right. You are not being graded on this. You are simply thinking. And you are in a bad place right now, and you being unable to come up with/being stressed and unable to answer all the questions WILL help them determine how to best help you!

Mom is coming for a visit. She's going to Florida for spring break and to get a colonoscopy (she hasn't founda doctor she really trusts in NC).
Because she wants to come after that she's thinking of driving up instead of flying because it will be like $800 for a ticket. It's about a 16 hour drive and if she'd drives she can bring up some power tools so I can do some things ( that I've gotten approval for but are cosmetic not structural) and maybe her sewing machine and make some curtains. Especially since I have some odd windows.
I really want to see her and having her drive up would be cool. Plus we would have her car in case we found a cool deal on furniture or something.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
askye, that sounds great. I hope today is better.
Can unsweetened by flavored seltzer spike blood sugar? It is the only common denominator I can think of when my readings have been too high.

0, but I thought I read somewhere once that a body can sometimes have a reaction to things that are sweet but don't have any calories.

I've heard that before too, sj, but I don't know where or if it was true. Bodies be weird.

Word. But it's not just food intake that affects blood sugar, stress can do it too.
So yeah, with diabetes, you're screwed whichever way you go.
