[QUOTE="aaronjunited, post: 368609, member: 36654"] I was put on sertraline at the beginning of the week by my GP as i have been feeling so bad for as long as i can remember. Thing is I haven't told my employer that I'm diabetic, i only recently started the job over a month ago. Previously trying to get a job was a nightmare if id put diabetic on the application form. I got this job coincidently without telling them i was diabetic. Anyway, i'm suffering from depression and its really affecting me big time, i feel sad, lonely, helpless, thoughts of suicide, lack of motivation, no energy, cant sleep, over eating, eating the wrong things, not testing my sugars, guessing the amount of insulin i should take and even crying for nothing. As far as I remember I havent been the same person since being diagnosed nearly two years ago and noting has been good in life for me since then, except getting this job. I thought my life was back on track, generally felt better about myself and was on a roll quietly hiding the fact that i was depressed and in denial that i even had diabetes. I'm off work at the minute for a different reason, my bathroom was flooded by the kids and the ceiling caved through and this has added to the stress and brought me down more. I seen my GP and told her about how I'm feeling, she just gave me the tabs and asked me back in 4 weeks. I cant bring myself round to talk to work about it, and i cant motivate myself to get back to work, i dont wana be around colleagues and work people, never mind my friends. I just dont want to do anything at all, i just about thinking and thinking and I really cant get my mind straight to get up and get on with life. Am I wrong to not want to go work? Or do anything I usually enjoy doing. Please help. Aaron. [/QUOTE]
