[QUOTE="AnnaBanana, post: 326949, member: 45019"] Heya Claire, Awww hang in there :) Remember that those injections not only make you well (and save your life) but also make you well enough to look after your lil one. I have been depressed a few times too, I know it can be really difficult to over come, then when you do you worry when the next time will be. I that by taking your injections, which will lead to you putting weight back on and you feeling healthier will hopefully make you feel happier too. I hate injecting too, I went through a stage of not injecting at all which of course sent my sugars way up high and made me feel ill. I also realised that not injecting made me loose weight, which I thought would make me happy so I've battled with the injections too. Now, every time I inject, I think about how it literally saves my life, how it lets me go to uni and improve my life (I'm a 'mature' student at 31!) etc. I also hate how much it takes over everything, how testing and injecting is supposed to be more important than anything else. I think I resented the diabetes a few times like someone suggested could be something you are feeling. I'm not sure I know anyone with type 1 who hasn't felt a bit like that at some stage. Keep strong, try to think positively about the injections. Though they can hurt and they are a pain, they are saving your life so that you can be with your daughter. Hold on to that thought and when you think about missing a dose, think of your daughter and do it for her. Don't feel alone, keep in touch on here. There are so many lovely people on here who will help you. Anna :) [/QUOTE]
