Hi all,
Right now I’m on an inpatient psych unit. 
Yesterday I told my doctor that I wanted to take too much insulin, and she sent me here. I have huge urges to misuse my pump and take more insulin than I am supposed to. I am supposed to see an endocrinologist to make a plan so that I can take my pump off for a couple of days. He was supposed to come today but I haven’t seen him. Tonight I am going to ask my nurse if we can take my pump off and just do sliding scale insulin until I see the doc.
I just really want to go home.

Jenny,
It sounds like your doctor cares about you. We do, too. I, personally, would like to hear from you every day to see how you are doing. I bet Judith would, too.
You’ll be in my prayers, Jenny.

Jenny,
I am glad you sent an email to the group.
I hope the doctors are able to give you the help you need.
Are the nurses removing your pump?
Thinking of you,
Rhonda

Hello Jenny,
I’ve said it privately and I’ll say it publically… anything any of
can do to help, in ANY way…. ok? Just whisper…

Hi Jenny, it’s good to hear you are getting some help. I know when I was younger, I had those urges too simply because it was hard to work two jobs, raise two kids. I wanted eneregy and the lower my sugar, the more I seemed to have. Take care, we are all thinking of you! Sending prayers!
Sincerely,
Carol

Today has been a particularly down day. My mood is low and I really want to go home, but I know I’m not ready yet. I did see an endocrinologist this morning and he agreed to write orders for a regular diet, not the diabetic tray, so I will have more leway with meals. The diabetic trays here are really awful. I was in tears at dinner tonight because they changed my order so much and I didn’t like anything they sent. One of the support people is making chocolate chip cookies, and another said he would make popcorn, so I will have some munchies tonight, and tomorrow the regular trays start coming.
Right now it’s really hard because being here feels like a punishment.
