[QUOTE="chocoholicnomore, post: 248204, member: 37812"] Oh Helen. I know what you mean. I'm not coping either. When I was diagnosed in September, I looked at it positively and a challenge. I focused on all the good things to come out of it-the weight loss, feeling healthier with more energy etc. etc. However, it's only now that the depression has hit me like a brick. All the replies above are so helpful and so encouraging but I, too, am finding it so hard at the moment. I don't know if you have experienced the denial yet-the mentality of "it's only a wee bit, it won't do any harm". That's where I am. I know Grazer is so right about not having anything that spikes the BG level but it is so **** hard. This forum has been such a great help and all I can advise you at the moment is whenever you are feeling down and depressed or just want a rant, come onto the forum. There will always be someone to give you support and advice. What I have learned is that we are all in it together, we have all experienced the same things/feelings and understand what each other are going through and, most importantly, we are all here for each other. [i]It is so good to talk to people who know exactly how it feels.[/i] [/QUOTE]
