[QUOTE="Tippiandmidge, post: 1585272, member: 437943"] Hi, I think you have had some excellent advice so far, so I'm just here to offer a bit of support! :) I am a t1 & have suffered with depression for the past 12 years. The entire 12 years was a struggle /battle with my diabetes and the way I dealt with it was to ignore it as much as possible. I am now feeling a bit better and in addition to being referred back to the diabetic clinic I have been looking at the psychological effect of having something like diabetes. I also wanted answers as to why I was deliberately sabotaging my diabetes control, when I absolutely knew what I should be doing! I have just started reading a book [B]"Diabetes burnout. What to do when you can't take it any more" [/B]by William Polonsky. It's very american but so far seems really helpful. ( It also has a section on eating) Also on my reading list is [B]"Living with the Enemy. Coping with the stress of chronic illness using CBT, mindfulness and acceptance"[/B] by Ray Owen and also [B]"Diabetes and Wellbeing. Managing the psychological and emotional challenges of Diabetes types 1 & 2"[/B] by Dr Jen Nash. They are all on Amazon and you can preview them all to see if they will be useful to you. Perhaps a little light reading for you while you are waiting for your therapist appointment? :) Best of luck & remember to keep us up to date on your journey xx [/QUOTE]
