[QUOTE="therower, post: 1192847, member: 47983"] Yet another side effect of diabetes, the dreaded dark side. How does it manage to get a vice like grip on us the way it does. Over the years it's managed to get in my life especially at night time when I'm ready for sleep, but oh no I can't go sleep until every dark depressing though imaginable is deeply embedded in my head for the night. Year's ago it would last maybe a few weeks and would really drag me down to where it wanted me. Then it would be gone, just as quick as it came. Does it still happen? Yes it does very occasionally but I'm ready for it now and I've found that embracing it as just a thought/mind game and not anything that is definitive or is actually going to happen, I can cope and don't suffer. Instead of it being a trip to the dark side it's become more of a stroll through some shadows. You're not alone. Hopefully you'll find your own way to conquer this problem it is possible, you are much stronger than it. [/QUOTE]
