[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 2338405, member: 52527"] Sorry to hear you're feeling down. It's not surprising under the circumstances - anyone would find it hard to be phlegmatic month after month. On the plus side, you've been referred to the right place where there is a team of expert people dedicated to doing their best for your eyesight. Regarding the haemorrhage, they can take months to clear and even if it doesn't clear up due to repeated bleeds there is a treatment available - vitrectomy. The whole process may seem interminable now but there are people of this forum who have had similar circumstances and come out the other side -if you use the search function you should be able to read their posts. I appreciate it's difficult, but rather than using up all your energy on worrying about 'what if', it would be better to harness the energy to attend all your ophthalmology appointments and to keep your diabetic control as good as you can because this will help your eyesight in the long term.
