[QUOTE="chocoholic, post: 4570, member: 2964"] Sukaren,I'm so sorry to hear how you have been feeling but I'm glad you are feeling a little brighter this evening. I have suffered from bouts of depression in the past and unless you've been there, it's a hard thing for non-sufferers to understand. It doesn't always happen for obvious reasons either. People can get depressed when to outsiders their lives seem perfect. I believe my own diabetes was brought on by a doctor's wrong diagnosis of asthma....he put me on a steroid inhaler unnecessarily. Brilliant! Generally,I really try to be a positive person but life can seem pretty unfair at times. I lost my lovely Dad to Motor Neurone Disease, I have a brother with Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy, my uncle died in a head on car crash, my niece's husband was found dead in bed at the age of 28 from an undiagnosed heart condition....I could list a whole load more things that my family has had to deal with but the point is life sometimes stinks but there <b>is</b> always some good in life. When the doc. wanted to put me on anti-depressants years ago, I told him I found it more the****utic to walk. I know it sounds daft but if you are able to, have you considered joining a walking group? I joined one. It's run by our local Primary Care Trust.Walking lifts my mood, helps my diabetes control and best of all...it's free! I am not saying ditch the anti-depressants without your docs. say so but it might be worth some consideration to take up some exercise, as it really can lift your mood. I wish you well and if you need to chat,please feel free to email me. [/QUOTE]
