[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2121747, member: 451727"] Hi there [USER=500509]@Diabeticmumof2[/USER], I always think that with depression it is a matter of getting to the root cause and (if necessary) getting the right medication and therapy for it. How can anyone simply 'pull themselves out of it' or think of all the good things they have going for them as if this helps. It is a medical condition the same as your diabetes and it needs treating. If you are able to do this (step one is admitting you need support for your mental health and going to the Drs for it), then the rest might just follow. Once your mindset is ok then the rest, ie your diabetes management, your anxiety over your children and your relationship with your husband might also get better. Please don't think this is something you have done to yourself, if you had a broken leg would you just leave it festering? Of course you wouldn't so be kind to yourself and get some professional help. As someone with diabetes sometimes everything is attributed to that which is not always the case but when other things go wrong, diabetes management can be the first to go and this adds to the whole picture and makes things a whole lot more complicated if not dangerous. x [/QUOTE]
