[QUOTE="Nemeth32, post: 1528008, member: 426988"] Hey Derry60, I think you need to read what I wrote properly rather than jump to conclusions or try to be a white knight of some sort. "Keep living in the fast lane and see what happens ;) " The arrogance in that statement alone made me chuckle. You notice how I specifically talked in the past tense when talking about drinking etc. As I said I've had type 1 diabetes, depression and anxiety almsot my entire life so please don't try to talk down as though you know better than me what that is like. Like I actually said in my comment, I'm not advocating going off the rails, the whole point of that part of the comment was to show that diabetes does not have to severely restrict your life and experiences in case that feeling is contributing to the depression elouisexxx is having because as you say, people suffer from different sorts of depression related to different factors. With that being said however, living in denial or ignoring depression or indeed any mental or physical condition is not going to help you to get better or live with it, full stop.
