[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 2094574, member: 256617"] Walking, long walks in woodland or near water if you can. Meditation. A dog is great. Saunas if possible. Gaining a perspective has helped me to stave off feelings of "why me, i'm slimmer than so and so"; specifically a family friend who was born with a heart defect, at around 13 years old has helped me. He effectively offered to die, to help his Mum who had worked tirelessly in and out of hospital with him get a rest. Now this young inspiration is taking part in the transplant games. I am not equating my previous low days with depression, but Type 2 is one of the rare conditions that can for many be treated without drugs, with let's face it just reducing carbs and ingesting many processed so called treats. On balance missing the stuff that hardly adds to health is a small price to pay. I think seeing the lives of others who suffer in other ways helps with context, although just like having children the individual experience is personal. [/QUOTE]
