[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1636217, member: 209498"] Hi [USER=116322]@gazzab[/USER] and welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear of your physical and MH problems. I just wanted to ask why you wouldn't take medication for your anxiety depression. I have coped with episodes of depression for over 50 years. I didn't like the idea of taking anti-depressants, but found that they were the only way to cope. I would stop taking them as soon as I started to feel better, then the depression would recur. The episodes got closer and closer together, and two years ago I decided to stay on the anti-depressants permanently, as I couldn't take the 6-8 weeks of mental pain before they took effect again. I think the depression partly contributed to my Type 2 Diabetes, as I was eating junk food and comfort eating sweet stuff because I couldn't be bothered to cook healthy food. Staying on the anti-depressants has meant I could take action to deal with the T2 diabetes. If I was still in depression, the overwhelming dark thoughts and hopelessness would have prevented me from dealing with the diabetes. I think you should consider taking anti-dp medication to control your MH condition, before you are able mentally to deal with your diabetes and other physical conditions. Take care. [/QUOTE]
