Ollie, welcome and well done! You are taking on so much and seem so strong about it. I'm sure that your army training will come in useful (self-discipline, etc.) too. I'm also ex-army but long, looooong time ago! Fat, frumpy and over 50 now :lol: :lol: :lol:
Also practicing mindfulness for severe depression. You're quite right, it can be a life-saver. I work full-time and find that at lunchtimes I go to my car and usually put a meditation tape on to get me through the afternoon.
I hope everything goes well for you and remember, you're not alone, not with the diabetes, the mindfulness or the mental illness. I'm sure there are many more of us on the forum.
