Hey all. I work nights at a hospital (phlebotomy) and ever since I started I legitimately can't give myself insulin otherwise this happens, and my sugar will never come up. This is including eating my full lunch at work, which usually is 60-80 carbs, and I still go low a little while after. I've adjusted my basal, carb sensitivity a little and things got a little less extreme, but it's still a constant issue. Most nights I don't give myself an actual bolus at all and wing it, to varying levels of success. Anyone else have this type of issue? How are/did you fix it?

Things just ended with my girlfriend, my first real relationship since my divorce two years ago. She didn't do anything wrong. She fell in love with me, but I was never able to match her energy about it. I felt apathetic most of the time. 4 months in, I realized that I didn't see a future with her, I don't see myself growing old with her. I talked to her about it, and understandably, it crippled how hard she tried in the relationship. Why work for something temporary? Can't say I blame her. I liked having her around, I felt legitimately understood by her, I just didn't really feel that inner push of love.

I did all the things I knew I should do. Cooked her breakfast, drove her places, was her shoulder to cry on whenever she needed it, I showed up in every possible way I could, but in the way she really wanted, I couldn't.

She did everything right. She showed up for me, made me cute trinkets, had real interest in me and made every effort to understand me. I told her I wasn't mad or upset at her, but I hope she believes that.

My wife left me for someone else two years ago, and I haven't bounced back yet. I keep wondering if I will. I keep wondering if I'll feel that fire of love inside of me for someone else like lightning again.

I'm quite upset I didn't feel it for my latest failure. I hope she finds someone who does.
