[QUOTE="moondancer, post: 1181597, member: 288791"] Hello [URL='http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/members/abbys.144442/'][U]Abby's[/U][/URL], Initially I’d talk to your Diabetes Specialist Nurse. You are far from being alone with your feelings and my experience is that diabetes and depression are linked. I recently attended a T1 patient conference in Hampshire. One of the speakers, (Clare Shaban Consultant Clinical Psychologist Royal Bournemouth Hospital) delivered a very interesting and engaging presentation on “The psychology of diabetes” which mirrored our feelings and supported the theory linking diabetes and depression. Clare is a specialist diabetes psychologist and part of the diabetes specialist team. I have been taking a low dose of Citalopram which has helped me no end. Make an appointment to see your GP soon but if you are assigned a specialist diabetes team talk to them first – they will have a better understanding of your issues. No one should feel alone with diabetes. I became a founder member of Sugarbuddies.org.uk Facebook/ Twitter: #sugarbuddies. An award winning peer to peer self-help group. As Juicyj suggests, voluntary work has helped me personally to grow and to help others. Is there a peer to peer group in your area? If not, we could start one. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
