[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 893490, member: 53162"] Hey big hug... A doctor told me that poor control was what was causing me to feel depressed, about a year after I was diagnosed I was trying to carry on being fine and dandy and carried on eating 'normally', it didn't work for me my BG was all over the place, under pressure at work, am a mum and it all got too much. It was at this point I saw the doc, got some anti depressants and decided to change my diet and cut out bread, pasta, sugar, rice, potatoes etc, I stabilised my BG and nowadays I feel a lot better, I have down days but exercise more, get out on a bike 3/4 times a week and cope much better. Start with a visit to the docs as said above, write down how you are feeling now, when you go in read it back to them word for word and if you have the strength state that you are not leaving until you have some help, you have the same right as everyone else for support. A good sleep will help lots, when you get down take a walk somewhere green, park, hills field wherever and just take deep breaths, I've said it before on here to others but the way you feel right now is temporary, it will pass and your not alone ;) [/QUOTE]
