3/16 fasting blood sugar 6.7 mmol/L

Had a bit of a mental spiral last couple of days and avoided anything online. Depression & anxiety can get you at anytime, anywhere, and for no apparent reason. Story of my life or for at least the last 10 years or so, but probably longer if I'm being honest with myself. So no recording of foods for the last couple of days & not going to bother cause I can't remember most of it. But I did eat properly so there is that.

Anyways, its the weekend so I hope you all have an enjoyable one.
Peace.

I understand the depression spirals. It's strange because when you're not in one it seems like it would be so easy to avoid. But when they hit it's really hard to climb out. I've learned over the years to be kind to myself when this happens. I know they pass, so when I'm stuck in it I do whatever I can to just breathe and let it sit. If I want to nap, I nap. If I don't clean the house that's okay. I try to not eat too badly because I know that'll make it worse later! But just be kind.

Suriliel - Thank you. I tried to do just that and it seems to be helping with the slow climb out.

Margatyna - I know what triggered 3/15's bs jump - I ate 1/2 container of GF Oreo's as I was going thru my mental crash and I usually don't over indulge but life happens. Not going to beat myself up over it either. It just is. I can't do intermittent currently because I am on medication that I must take with food daily. But I already work with having food in about an 8 hr window. That's as close as I can get. Eventually down the road when I no longer have medication controlling when I can eat, I will experiment with the longer version of intermittent.
