Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 >>>I cannot deal with the pain on my really down days. If it weren't for you guys here, and some dear friends, I think I would have gone around the bend a while ago. When my outlook is up, I can be more philosophical about the pain and go about my business as best I can. On the other days, all I want to do is cry about how unfair it all is.

I hate that you are dealing with depression. I know that is hard to deal with but dealing with that and pain at the same time has to be a real bear. Good luck to you.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 When I first changed the title of this thread to " depression " I was not sure how the list would respond since at that time I felt that despression is something separate from diabetes. I could not have been more wrong as so many of you have said. This thread has helped me in so many ways I cannot begin to thank all of you who replied - this is truly a place of caring and understanding - I am so happy to be a part of it. Barb in NH snip...................... It so helps to have people to talk to, on lists that do understand. Esp about Diabetes, but all the 'lovely' little things that go with it....like depression, anger, and frustration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about " Why Am I Afriad to Tell You Who I Am? " I think I should probably get rid of them as they never helped me that much. But I will pick them up from time to time. I also have a collection of books on figuring out what to do with your life. Some are great, if I could only get through my own crap to follow through...LOL Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
