[QUOTE="weeezer, post: 376755, member: 41342"] Hey Dougal...how's it going? What a lovely thread you've started here! Such a lot of caring people on this forum. I've been t1 for almost 13 years, spent the first 10 years not bothered about being diabetic (bothered about control, just not bothered about having it) i was quite happy-go-lucky, but the last few I've slowly descended into an anxious mess. I have refused anti-depressants on a few occasions, opting for other methods to try and combat my bouts...counselling, anxiety cbt course...they helped but recently had an awful period of 'wobbliness' where I was convinced I won't make it to 40 (am 38) without my diabetes damaging my heart/body. I have developed paralysing health anxiety. Anyway, I feel like I had no other option than to accept the help my doc was offering at long last this time, and started taking 'citalopram' anti-depressants 2 and a half weeks ago. So I'm with you on the journey! Have to admit I'm having a few better days now...would love to know how you're getting on. Remember they can make you feel a bit worse to start with (sometimes).
