[QUOTE="joneb, post: 647278, member: 132171"] I just found out an hour and a half ago over the phone that I have type 2 diabetes. Its not just the shock but I am currently off work with depression and I have an underactive thyroid and sleep apnea. All of these things are being treated with meds and my sleep apnea with a cpap machine. It seems life is a runaway train in a dark tunnel. I don't know how I will cope as with my depression I have been struggling to manage my thyroid and anti depression meds and I have been comfort eating. I like my food so much as its one thing that does make me happier. I think most of my problems seem to have started with anxiety and depression from when i was young and eating has been a way of being happy. Probably everything else has came from that. Im now a deeply unhappy person a lot of the time. I dont know how to deal with this diabetes and if I can manage it. I don't know if I care to be honest as life is **** anyway and the UK government have targeted the ill and vulnerable for cleansing it seems. I'm sorry to be such a downer but this is who I am right now and I don't know if I'm able to change. Im hoping there are some pearls of wisdom out there that can show me some light.. I always seek and consider good advice. [/QUOTE]
