[QUOTE="Hedonista, post: 954122, member: 156026"] I really identify with this. I have always felt tough and adaptable, but after diagnosis I got very anxious about eating out, camping, going on holiday, all that. I've told people close to me about my diagnosis and had a few laughs as some of them exclaimed "What? You've knackered your pancreas THAT MUCH?" Even very good friends ask if I'm 'still' on that diet, as if it's something that will go away. I've settled down now that I've had some practice, and discovered I'm still tough and adaptable and can find my way through most situations. I'm nearing the end of my first year and although I sometimes feel depressed, overwhelmed and fearful, I mostly know that I'm living a more healthy lifestyle and feeling better since I was diagnosed. Whenever it gets too much, I just come on here. All I need to do is read a few posts on the 'what have you eaten today?' threads to cheer up! [/QUOTE]
