Ok. lets just say this....between my boss (who is being a total Jerk, and does NOT deserve me working for him)

And my husband (who has finally got a full time job, and i cannot argue with right now because hes a mess)

Im about to cut.....and i need some help. My sugars have been going so low lately, and my boss is soooo totally not understanding of my medical condition.

My husband, whos first task is making this job good for us, is making me FREAKING MAD!!!!! not keeping up with his end of our home.....(i cook, clean, and grocery shop, and cook. and err ummm.....everything else) but he normally helps out. I guess im feeling a touch overwhelmed?

Ok - done venting. just having urges....im human, and times like this. im ready to POP!

One good note, i moved my mom to where she belongs!!! WITH MY SISTER!!!!! one thing I can be relaxed about. Never worrying that shes alone anymore. But i miss her something terrible.

Thank you all for listening. you dont even have to respond....i need to chill out now.....

Colleen

im ok moreso venting right now. Im trying to do too much at work, bloodsugars are all over the map because my boss is not letting me have a lunch. my husband is not helping at home. its kinda all getting me down. I miss my mom. I know i could have a better job than this. So being afraid of leaving here is not an issue. matter of fact ive put my resume back out there. My health is just not worth the headache.

Thank you for sitting

I'm so sorry you have to go through this... Could you postpone some of the stuff you do at work? There should be something that can wait, at least till you have lunch.

Well the problem is that my boss knows im a diabetic. When i try to explain what to do when im low he says...."nope, thats personal!" So as of today I printed out the americans with disabilities act and put it on my desk. Im so fried......how dare he??? Due to me being in tech support, lunches already ARE hard to come by. but he should have backed me up. When i bring it to his attention, he dismisses me. Pretty much. Then he takes his TWO HOUR lunch. Almost leaves me with that feeling of being abused all over again. For the record my sugars have been so low, that ive been told i might be able to go off my diabetes meds.

Anyway, enough of that. That coupled with the husband being so super worried about making this job work. and reaping the benefits of that job have me at my end of the rope ya know?

Thanks for listening.

I hope you are away from work and getting some relaxation now!

Your Boss must give you a lunch break and he has to allow you to do what you need to do for your diabetes, I'm so glad you plucked up courage and printed out the disability stuff for him. He could get in real trouble!

Take care of you.

i'm sorry you're feeling so overwhelmed. You CAN and WILL get through this though... fight those SI urges, you know you are way better then them. Just take one thing at a time, and reach out when you need to.
We're all here for you....
Big hugs
Jacq
