When I hit 44 I get emotional and cry. That's embarrassing

Welcome to my world . These are the joys of being bipolar, for me. I cry when I'm happy, when I'm sad, when I'm touched or moved or sympathetc or mad, or when I see somebody else cry, even a cartoon, lol. I can cry at commercials! The Waltons. And this is even ON my meds. I couldn't even function before. Yeah, not much fun. Emvarrassing is the least of it.

I had read about a teenage girl passing out in the bathtub from low blood sugar. Her hair clogged the drain and she drowned. I don't soak in the tub anymore because I get dizzy in real warm water in the down position

Beautiful day today! Even a light sweater was unnecessary! Not sure how warm it got, think we hit 72°!

That's us too..no coat or jacket the last few days, but gets down into the 20's at night.

It is a little embarrassing but there's not much you can do about it except to try and eat something before you leave the house. I used to carry those glucose tablets around. Waking up with 30 people surrounding you as you are laying in the floor on the meat cart in Walmarts. This embarrassment will get better as you age.

I used to be like that. I couldn't talk to a supervisor without crying. It got better when they took me off sulfasalazine for Crohn's. I think that medicine affected my bipolar as well. I'm glad it got better because that can be real unhandy!

I've done that one too except I came to when the water reached my face

I need to get new strips for the blood sugar reader. So I know it's definitely that and now low sodium or hypernatremia. They all cause dizziness and confusion and you pass out of you didn't get treated. I have a blood pressure cuff but I should be checking my sugar more regular

It got so bad I had to carry the shots around w/ me. Talk about a needle! They are made to go thru your clothes and Robert always gives them to me.

Did you ever find out what caused it? I didn't. But mine came on very suddenly making me think one of my medications left damage. Wish I would know

Thank goodness I don't have a tub, only a shower! And I don't think my sugar drops like that. The lowest I know it to have gone is 80. But I don't check it all that often, only in the morning before breakfast. When should I check it?
