[QUOTE="Freema, post: 1292092, member: 329519"] welcome here Maggie... sad you´re depressed. I am very othen too for very long periods..it is difficult when the very same part of oneself that you need to take up the challenges of life , is the part of oneself that is in fact ill or working in a very low energy state... it is first of all a gigantic chock to get the diagnosis diabetes..!!!!!!!!!! What is very important not to attribute to ones depression is to give up any kind of perfectionism, and ones ideas that life needs to be in certain ways before it is good... sometimes depressions come out of the blue, but many times they are created from ones negative identity created in ones childhood...or from trauma and from loss of loved ones and grief... Sometimes it is ones thinking patterns that all the time like a magnet cirkles around finding negative labelling describtions of what is wrong, instead of focusing on and looking for what works and what is good.. To get diabetes having a depression already is very overwhelming and can usually not be seen in a good light or as some gift in any ways. If I should say something possitive about getting diabetes ... from my perspective right now, it is that it has made me change my lifestyle radically and gotten me into loosing my extreme overweight and maybe even saved me from just sitting in my sofa becomming an invalide ... I was so fat I couldn´t hardly dry myself in my behind when at the loo. and if I hadn´t gotten a scary really scary diagnosis I maybe wouldn´t have done anything, just sat there and felt pitty for myself and hating how fat I was... and that is only about 4 months ago... so some good can come out of diabetes.. I also found out that it is actually the carbs that made me fat , and that excluding carbs in general actually makes it possible to loose much easier than I would have thought... now I don´t know what your kind of problems around your diabetes is but you can always ask here in this forum, there are so many daily-life Experts in al aspects of diabetes here, and also some very sharp ones in theory and more complicated matters , and so many helpful people around you here Love from Frema <3 [/QUOTE]
