I'm chronically ill and my husband knows this. He helps me but each time, he seems to resent me. Like, last week I was working (we own a shop and it was his evening off, my evening to close), and I got such a bad ocular migraine that I couldn't see anything but directly in front of me. It got so bad that a panic attack started and my right arm went numb. He came and resentfully drove me home, worked the last two hours of my shift and made sure I knew he'd be off the entire day the next day to make up for that shet.
Fast forward to tonight. I was laying in bed trying to wind down and my blood sugar dropped badly. I was suddenly sweating, not even shaking, it was THAT bad. I got up to stuff my face with something. I grabbed the last store bought cinnamon roll and just started eating it in my underwear. He snapped at me, "aren't you on wegovy? You're eating a lot lately." And I stopped in shock. I know I'm fat but fukk, you don't have to be like that. My blood sugar dropped and I needed sugar/carbs or I'd have passed out! Then I sat on the couch, where I am now, and he guilted me for being up at 2:40 when he was up all night last night, and I have an excuse. I'm just pissed. Why are things like this?

I am sorry, and I know the guilt that already comes with being chronically ill, I also struggle with it but I couldn't imagine my partner not being supportive. I am so sorry you are going through that. Wegovy lowers blood sugars bad especially if you are diabetic so please be careful. And if you need to talk I'm here.
