[QUOTE="himtoo, post: 891342, member: 142835"] Hi catfish185 welcome to the forum :) what you describe and [USER=71614]@IceLover[/USER] posted about to support you with similar feelings is fully described in the 5 stages of grieving. getting an illness such as Diabetes which lasts for the rest of your life is very much like dying -- you need to go through the same stages that one goes through when a loved one dies this may sound bizarre but trust me it is completely true-- my doctors explained all this to me 43 years ago at diagnosis as a diabetic you keep revisiting these stages and learning how to get to stage 5 -- acceptance is a big part of coping with this disease here is a link to what I am talking about [URL]http://psychcentral.com/lib/the-5-stages-of-loss-and-grief/[/URL] you( or anyone ) can message me if you want to talk about it more [/QUOTE]
