[QUOTE="kewgirl, post: 88638, member: 20951"] Hello Sorry to hear you are having a wretched time with the diabetes. You are having to cope with a lot of things and you are entitled to feel a whole range of emotions including hatred and depression. :cry: Venting your frustrations is a good way to deal with how you feel. Adolescence is a traumatic time enough without the added pressure of being diagnosed with a life long incurable condition. Diabetes is however manageable. Your diagnosis of diabetes is something that cannot be changed to quote from a very famous TV programme "its a fixed point in time & space" :!: However you are a unique person and one way of trying to look at the situation is that diabetes has chosen you as a friend. Diabetes chooses people from all walks of life, all ages, all sexes, all ethnicity’s, and all cultures. I know its probably difficult to think to the future but when your old like me :lol: you will have a whole wealth of knowledge & experience in the management of diabetes & you will be able to look back and chuckle! I expect you may have been bombarded with information from people and possibly being “lectured” or “nagged” at regarding controlling your diabetes. Ultimately it is about taking responsibility and ownership of the disease and with that you will feel much more in control. :idea: Yes you might have to make adaptations to your life style & rearrange your cupboards to accommodate all the associated paraphernalia :lol: you need for your diabetic control but the diabetes has to live with you not the other way around and none of us can dump the diabetes at some one else’s door because its decided to stick with us for life. Taking up the offer of speaking with the psychologist will give you a confidential talking space which you may find useful, but… do not come out of one session with the psychologist expecting to feel instantly better because it will take time. Hope you won't have to wait too long for an appointment. Have you got support from family and friends? Hang in there and please keep posting. Best wishes Tracey xx [/QUOTE]
