Hi Guys,
I have never posted in one of these forums before but I have been having a rough time recently and I just feel so lonely dealing with diabetes most of the time that I thought I'd try and see if anyone else is interested in what I have to say.
Does anyone find that you can go through huge, mind altering mood swings and bouts of depression due to diabetes? I find that my anxiety level is always pretty much near its maximum and I'm almost always unhappy. My neutral/usual state is one of pretty intense depression and when I wake up and I don't feel like it will be a huge challenge to perform my daily tasks due to my mental health I'm like 'oh wow that's lucky, what a one off'.
Although I regularly feel this way it definitely comes and goes and at some times is a lot worse than others, and it just makes me wonder, is this to do with my type 1 diabetes? I was diagnosed around 7 years ago now and I definitely don't remember feeling this depressed at any point before then.
I just really want to be able to go about my day and do things without feeling like I have to not only deal with my blood sugars but also my almost constant depression and I was just wondering if anyone else feels the same way and if so does anyone have any advice on how to deal with it?
Thanks,
