[QUOTE="Just_me, post: 635211, member: 128174"] Hello, I am a T2 diabetic and was diagnosed nearly 4 years ago at the age of 25. I was diagnosed with depression soon afterwards. I find that some days I am overwhelmed with anxiety and I sometimes get emotional when I think about my future. I've gone to as many learning days/ conferences as possible and it's nice to meet fellow diabetics but most of the time I just feel at a lost when I think of it being a progressive disease. I don't have any children yet but would love to be a mum one day but diabetes and pregnancy sounds very scary! I also don't know of any diabetics who are around my age so that I can discuss things with. My parents are both diabetics but because they have other medical conditions they sort of bung everything together and say "we're old" and accept things simply as they are. I find that for the past few years my mood has changed from being a laid back, fun person to a really really moody cow. (Seriously! I don't even want to be friends with myself) I find that I can lose my temper really easily and over the smallest, unimportant things but I can't seem to stop myself!! Is any of this normal?! I spend most days feeling guilty that I am constantly snapping at the people who mean the world to me. I just don't understand what's going on with me. I know none of this May have nothing whatsoever to do with my diabetes but it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders to be able to write down how I really feel :) [/QUOTE]
