[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2173229, member: 345386"] Raymond, I'm not T1, but I have done lots of reading about it, over the years on here. Of course, that doesn't replace living with the condition, but one thing I will say is that many, many of those living with T1 state that they can have periods of feeling very overwhelmed by things, and thinking, just like you, that everyone's doing better than they are. When all is said and done, every single one of us can only do our best, and whatever doing our best results in, it is our best. I doubt very much your father would think poorly of you for confiding in him about how you feel. Parents often feel honoured when their child chooses to share their deep thoughts with them, and most also really do admire their T1 relatives, because parents see first hand, how much effort a T1 has to put in, to keep things in check. Please do talk to your family. They'll want to help. Finally, if you are thinking suicidal thoughts, please phone The Samaritans. They are very experienced in helping people in very dark places. Their details are: [ATTACH=full]36880[/ATTACH] Stick with it. Life is a wonderful thing. [/QUOTE]
