[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 12989, member: 7788"] Hi Irish low Joe, Sorry you're feeling bad, remember being diagnosed, left my job and ended up on anti-depressants. Didn't last long though, once got my head round it all. Can't say I still don't have bad days though. I found taking a break from everything and getting used to a new way of life on insulin soon bored me enough to get back in the swing of things! I love the Irish, have a fab funny Cork dentist-makes me giggle so much I don't dread dental visits like I used to.! He's a complete mentalist! Personally to ease my bad days I find a bike-ride cures my ills- even if I'm just cycling around the streets aimlessly, avoiding loony drivers, and occasionally giving the finger. **** happens, and my family and I have had more than our fair share recently believe me. Sometimes don't know how I stay sane-maybe I'm not an I don't care! My wonderful dentist has great advice-he says "don't think, it's a killer"!! I hope you'll feel proud of yourself for managing your diabetes, and that will make you feel good and more able to cope. We're always here, even if it's just for a "whine and a moan". :) Jus x PS. I forgot to mention, it is normal to feel low after diagnosis, might not help much, but don't expect too much from yourself coz u need time to adjust. Don't give yourself a hard-time either, it's a huge change to your life, and you need to talk about it and make people close to u understand how it's affecting you. It's all very well people saying they understand when they don't live with diabetes, but all of us on this forum DO understand, so don't be a stranger.x [/QUOTE]
