[QUOTE="Adele99, post: 623821, member: 47601"] I've had times when. I've been fed up or bored with life, but have been fortunate enough never to have experienced depression. However I have witnessed a family member experience it and know it can have a dreadful effect on people and their lives. If your blood sugars are fluctuating from highs to then low, but never stable for any length of time, that would be enough to make you feel generally tired and pretty miserable all the time. Sometimes depression can make you feel you've lost of control of how your life is going and it's hard to see how you can get control back, or make any changes as everything just seems too difficult, like a catch 22. Sometimes just achieving one thing eg control of your BS might be just that single green shoot of hope that let's you see that it is possible to make changes and might allow you to sort out other areas in your life which are depressing you. Certainly that's what happened in my brother's case. But my brother had support from family and from GP arranged help, so think you should seek out these services and ask for help and support. Hope things improve for you. [/QUOTE]
