Hey guys feeling really really down today about diabetes.. Im 20 and had type 1 since i was two... Keep thinking my life is nearly over .. Its honestly the worst feeling ever. My control has had its ups and downs .. Anyone else feel down and have anything to cheer us up :/ this forum has helped alot before!
Hello,
you are so far from alone, it's hard, and no one can tell us its not. I suffer with depression and anxiety, and its a vicious circle.
But its ok, please don't beat yourself up about it, just try your best, and if you don't do so well today, tomorrow is another day.
I try just to do the things I love, be outside, be free! Diabetes will fit around me and not the other way around, but at the same time, sometimes we just need to take some time to knuckle down with the diabetes stuff : / and once you have control, try to relax but keep it, then everything else can fall into place, the anxiety about your life being nearly over, I get it, but its not
you can live a long and forfilled life! I find that seeing the nurses and having my checkups takes away the anxiety of all that.
If you ever need someone to talk to, you are more than welcome to message me, or I'm sure so many other people on here
you are not alone and never have to be.
