I am feeling gulity for moaning so much ... obviously there are hundreds of people who are worse off than me ... list the various ailments. Is it usual for people to feel sorry for themselves at some stage... I'm trying hard to hide it and pretend i am happy with the world but im struggling.

For one i am still (fairly) young and my friends are still going out every weekend so far i havent made it out much ... its a bit of a journey to them and after work it takes a lot to eat, get changed travel and still have energy to go out. However they dont realise this and just think i am blowing them out. I dont want to keep saying Im tired but now they think im lying / making excuses.

I am just so upset that my life has changed so much ... everyone said i would feel great when i started taking insulin but im still waiting ! and so is the man in my life !!!

feel free to tell me to pull myself together but be prepared i might cry! :(
 
Hi mrsb, I won't tell you to pull yourself together because I can sympathise with your feelings. I'm not diabetic myself but my mum was diagnosed T2 five years ago and is now virtually blind. She had a tough time dealing with it when she was diagnosed but now when she needed him most my dad died on Wednesday of a blood clot on the brain. I do have 2 brothers but the oldest is epileptic and the youngest is autistic, as is my 15 year old son. Do not ever apologise for having feelings like this , you have done the best thing possible in logging on to this forum. I have received such support since I joined and you can guarantee that there is always someone who can give you some comfort and reassurance on here. I hope you feel better soon, but until you do, keep on logging on here and someone will help you.

Don't worry, all you have done in your post is prove that you are a human being :)

I think you've just described the feelings that most people go through about diabetes from time to time. I think I've been through every emotion going sorrow, anger, denial, guilt and hopefully now acceptance. Don't bottle it all up though, remember that a problem shared is a problem halved :)
