We all get that way. Mine was that way yesterday. That's part of being a diabetic. And it's good to let it out instead of keeping it all boggled up inside. So if you need to vent, this is a good place to do it.<BR/><BR/>I understand the "fear" thing. I have agoraphobia which actually means "fear of the marketplace" or in my case "anywhere except home." So fear is a part of our lives. Some of us just have a little more of it than others. I've had some embarrassing things happen to me out in public - nothing too serious, but it seemed that way to me at the time. Have you had a serious low before that has caused you to have this fear? Do you feel different when your blood sugars start descending? I used to "feel" better when mine was around 150, rather than at 120 - like it was supposed to. But since I've been on the pump, I actually have the feeling of an extreme high when I'm only around 150. It's weird, isn't it, how our blood sugars make us "feel"? <BR/><BR/>I know it's difficult, but you can get over this. You just have to make yourself do it. That's what they've told me. I try to go to the store by myself at least a few times a week - just because. And it really helps. It's not always easy, but nothing like this is ever very easy. Please keep us posted and I'll keep you in my prayers - that you'll be able to overcome this & I know you can.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03072030400404976772noreply@blogger.com
