[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 268944, member: 30851"] I can empathise with you Helenababe, I have been diagnosed for 5 years now and have never felt any better about it. I really don' think I ever will either. Others wonder how I cope with the constant eye procedures and threat of blindness but none of it bothers me as much as the diabetes, My control is good too. I fid hat most of the ime I just ge on wih hings anfd like you no one really knpows. At certain times the whole thing just threatens o overwhelm me. Apart from on this forum I don't really talk anbout it much and I am sure my friends and family have no idea how much it bothers me. maybe not the diabetes itself so much as something which allows others tto conrol me to an exent. I feel constantly threatened. Is there any particular aspect which bothers you.? The feeling that you are the only one to feeel depressed about it can make you feel very isolated. As others have said your posts are very helpful to others but you are probably ne of a number of people who try not to burden others or frighen the newly diagnosed. Thats great and helping others by sharing your experience can be a way of feeling that it been of some use but those of us still feeling depressed about it all should be able to express it too. It IS a chronic condiion which affects you daily and has the potential to do worse . I don't think I will ever feeel any differently either Possibly other pressures in one's life make it worse at times but I think iif you are the sort of person who looks things squarely in the face and is not very good at deceiving yourself then you are probably bound to feel this way. Sometimes it is overwhelming . I am sure there must be others here who feel as we do . They may deal wih it in different ways but ,as ever, it is more acceptable to alk about physical symptoms and pracical problems, So you are not alone Helenababe and I hope anyone else feeling this way will come out and say so. Those of us feeling depressed abou it need support too. [/QUOTE]
