[QUOTE="derry60, post: 2136053, member: 407978"] As a child I would say that I suffered mild depression. I did not know it then, but now I do. I lost my parents within 24 hours of each other. I was 25. Dad had cancer, was given 3 months to live. My mother when told by the doctor at the hospital, died the very next evening. My sister found her in bed after visiting dad. Mum had died around 6 pm in the evening. She had taken herself off to bed really early for her, she even had straightened the cushions, and turned the lights off. She knew that my sister was going to visit her after dad. We think that she knew that she was going to die. My father did not make 3 months, he died the next day after mum. We did not tell him about mum passing. We think that he knew. The autopsy did not show why she died. The coroner said that her heart had just stopped. He said it is what we call a broken heart. So really from then on my depression got worse. This was over 30 years ago. So really what started off as a mild depression at a young age, got worse through losing both parents within 24 hours. Don't get me wrong I do have good days also, and can go months and be fine. I have just lived with it really. You say that you used to be bubbly cos you were high on sugar. I have heard that can affect people's moods. I was only told that my sugars where high Pre-diabetic 3 years ago..I never had a problem before then as I get yearly Blood checks. [/QUOTE]
