[QUOTE="kate_88, post: 1968079, member: 182290"] Hi everyone, I was diagnosed in April 2015. After struggling to come to terms with the diagnosis for years and seeking treatment for anxiety and depression last year (most probably a result of finding out about my diabetes) I am trying to take control of the condition, instead of letting it control me. I have always loved my food and used it to comfort eat with all emotions. Right now, it seems like an uphill battle but I have embraced a couple of Live Well courses, have joined the gym (and have actually gone!) and I am taking SR metformin as the original metformin played havoc with me! I am here really to look for support as I am the only one in my family/friendship groups/work with this condition and at 30, I am struggling to get my head around the fact that this is a lifelong condition. I also have periods of time where I want to face this head on but there are other, more overwhelming, times where I feel like there is no hope and I want to eat everything in sight and put my face in a vat of chocolate. Anyway, enough rambling! It’s great to have a community here to share stories and experiences. [/QUOTE]
