[QUOTE="bradley_smasher, post: 1848302, member: 431154"] Hey folks... not really sure where to turn, so figured I’d post here... I’m very sure I’m depressed. I feel rubbish every day, little to no energy for anything, and just generally sad and burned out every day. The burden of diabetes has really gotten to me :( I went to the docs a year or so ago about it, and basically got fobbed off... ‘have you tried being happy?’ Etc... so been reluctant to go back. I’m a passionate musician, but struggling to find the motivation to even pick up my guitar. My blood sugars are pretty well controlled however, my hba1c a few weeks ago was 52, so not terrible or high enough to cause low moods. But I’m so down and fed up of the constant everyday battle, and I knew you guys would know what that feels like :( What should I do? Go to the docs again? I think I’m of the opinion that I need antidepressants... I can’t see how any kind of talking therapy will benefit me, as however much I talk to someone, the diabetes demon will always be lurking over me... Thanks for bearing with the rant, don’t know where else I could turn though Chris [/QUOTE]
