Just wondered....

I think that's brilliant Molly. I did become very good friends with another member on here but we lived too far apart for it to become anything more than friends. I resorted to a dating site where I eventually found my other half
 
I used to think badly of dating sites but when I found myself alone after 21 years of marriage I decided I had no other option. I would highly recommend it. I've been seeing this lovely guy now for a year and a half and I don't think I've ever been happier!
 
We could call a diabetic dating website 'sweets for my sweet - sugar for my honey' lol
 
No, but I sometimes wonder if a relationship would be easier with another diabetic? My partner tries to be supportive and understanding but I know sometimes he wishes I would just "man up" and get over it.

Yeah, if only it was that easy!! He is ex army so thinks you can just man up... I suffer severe depression and he has been knownothing to come out with stuff like "can't you just cheer up" haha bless him... He just doesn't get it.

Totally get it! I too suffer depression, anxiety and at times agrophobia. Those "pull yourself together, it's not that bad" comments really lighten the load they try bless them but I don't think anyone really understands unless they experience it. This forum is a life saver for me in that way!

Yup I am exactly the same.... I have been known to snap at him on my bad days... when he comes out with "smile, be happy" and I just flip like OMG do you think I ENJOY being miserable? Haha. You think I enjoy being terrified to leave my house? Lol. I wish everyone could have what we have for just a week... maybe a month haha.. then they may be a bit more understanding!!
 
I feel lonely being a diabetic. Only these forums give me the right support. I'm still surrounded by ignorance even though I've explained til I'm blue in the face. I'm sometimes not well because I'm diabetic. I had blood pressure problem which made me feel like death warmed up. Ha ha I slept it off. Thankful.
