[QUOTE="Orelanic, post: 2122251, member: 507411"] You sound like your struggling a bit with some emotional issues. As you have discovered posting on this forum expressing how you feel can help, talking is another way of expressing your emotional self and some counselling could possibly help even more. I found that after having been given a type 2 diabetic diagnosis, it takes a while to deal with it internally, as a therapist I know that people can become depressed after such a diagnosis, or at least they can take some time to come to terms with it, I am still dealing with it both physically and emotionally like many others, although I am not depressed and I feel OK, I did have to make some changes both to my life style and work through it emotionally. Don't forget that therapy (counselling) can help sort out whats really bothering you, when you said [B]"I still get flash backs from it to this day"[/B], I have to say that your reaction sounds like it could be PTSD, a very common reaction to shock or a traumatic experience, there are also lots of indicators in your post to suggest that some counselling may help you deal with your low self-esteem and in turn that could possibly help your depression and anxiety. Don't forget the progress you have made is wonderful, it deserves recognition, and if it does get difficult for you now and then, just remember not to isolate yourself, talk about it, express it, don't suffer in silence. When you next see your Doctor ask if he/she can set up some counselling for you. [/QUOTE]
