So a lecture from me about getting extra help when you need it seems laughable but here goes:
You cancelled your appointment on Friday -- then proceeded to go downhill. Hmmm...I think you need to listen to your Therapist because you DON'T want to end up in the hospital. You son and your puppies and your husband and I need you.
Take it slow. Ask yourself why it is so important to do something "different" right now? Especially if it is destabalizing?
Here is the question I always see you ask everyone else: have you had a check up recently? Especially since you have to watch your sugars.
There is a ton of research on Diabetes and depression and how they effect each other. Please pay attention to this. Just a little bit of exercise can make a HUGE difference. Just a little bit of stress can make a HUGE difference. I would equate the new therapy with more than a little bit of stress.
One thing I learned with my son is that when he doesn't pay attention to staying hydrated, he feels worse, even if his sugars are in a decent range. Drink lots of water and decaff tea. Walk back and forth in your house 10 times today. (See drinking water makes you get up and go potty so you are exercising more!)
Really, please pay attention to all of this. You can't seperate physical care from mental care. They are linked so tightly.
Hope you feel better soon.
