Good day all, I`m Chantellé, 29, and new to the site, I have been considering joining for a while now, but so glad I did!
I have the most loving man in my life, he is 34 type 1 diabetic, diagnosed for 4 years now, of which I`m part of for the past 18 months. Its not always easy, but I believe that Love will conger all. I think of him as my Hero, as he deals with his new lifestyle and challenges so well, there is the good days, and there is the bad days, but he never gives up. I admire him so much!
But the last 2 months, I noticed that depression is setting in, he even admitted it to me. He tried pushing me away many a times, say hurtful things, anything so I should leave, only to say he is sorry the next day, that he feels so alone, so empty. I feel I am a strong woman, and will be there for him always, but lately, there is more factors that plays a role, extreme stress on his side, and his mother that insulted me so much, telling me how useless I am ect, that I am struggling to keep myself strong so I can be there for him. Needles to say, I am still in his life, and trying my best
I could just use some help as to how I can help him out of his depression, or to make it more bearable. He wants me with him 24/7, but I need to work as well. He would go days without leaving the house (where he works from), only when we go run every 2nd day. I cook very healthy for us, and he control his diabetes very good, however stress cause it to go very low or very high. I have set up for an appointment with his internists, but he doesn`t want to go. I even wanted to book us a getaway holiday, but he doesn`t want to....
In the meantime, I can feel this eating away at me, seeing him like this, I feel so powerless! I really need help, please...
