[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 505106"] Hi, Depression and diabetes are often linked and it may be that because of other influences the depression is now more obvious. Sometimes we cope with diabetes for a while and then we get to a point where all the constant management and food choices get to us and we feel that it is a burden. Are your thyroid levels back to normal with the treatment you are receiving? I ask because one of the signs of hypothyroidism is depression. [url]http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Thyroid-under-active/Pages/Introduction.aspx[/url] Your baby is only 10 months old and this new lifestyle often affects us more than we are aware of. Sometimes hormones take a while to settle down after giving birth. If other people are noticing that you are not your usual self then I would urge you to go and seek help from your G.P. Whatever you say is confidential and he will help you. He may order some test to see if he can pinpoint a cause after he has listened to you. You may be offered antidepressants and talking therapies. You cannot cure depression on your own and it is not as simple as some would believe. People who have never experienced it may sympathise but they do not know how it affects people on a daily basis.
