Yes I really hope Meg is ok & that she sees most of us understand xThat post was beyond unhelpful....you say you had been in the same position...how would you have felt if someone had told you to man up?! You can't just shake this feeling! Sigh! Easier said than done!!!
Hugs mug hope you are okay? X
lol got that xI meant Meg not mug by the way x
Ok, wording is so importantNever ment it in a bad way of saying man up cause your acting a child I ment man up as in you can succeed in beating it and not letting it beat you I've been in the same boat myself and it is hard but once you get a grip of the problem then it's all up hill sorry if my context of meaning was put across wrong
Hi, I think this is a subject that is very personal to those who have suffered depression so badly & that is why the response has been so strong. For me I have been that deeply in that pit of despair & am about half way up the hill, but still have to fight on a day to day basis & its hard to deal with type 1 along side those feelings. I agree you have to fight, but it is so difficult & some days are better than others, encouragement, love & support all helps. I do appreciate you explaining what you really meant. Thank you xNever ment it in a bad way of saying man up cause your acting a child I ment man up as in you can succeed in beating it and not letting it beat you I've been in the same boat myself and it is hard but once you get a grip of the problem then it's all up hill sorry if my context of meaning was put across wrong

I agree but it is harder when it isn't just the diabetes you are fighting. Depression is often a seperate beast that isn't just related to the diabetes, when that is the case yes you have to fight, but it is much harder. However I do agree that poor diabetic control won't help mental health issues.Diabetese will never make you feel good cause you'll control it so well them boom you get a bad day that ruins you and your feelings cause you thought you did really well. My point was don't let it beat you even on your off days I know it's easy said then done but if you can manage to stay strong then you will over come it even with the bad days.
Heart palpitations seem better. I'm on Sertraline,
Hi @Meghalton
I'm not diabetic my little girl is but I am on sertraline as after my daughter was diagnosed and other issues in my life I went down in a spiral but the medication really helped, I hope the doctors get you the help you need and you feel better X
