Anyone ever thought about doing anything drastic with their meds or anything because of feeling depressed?
Just umm curious...
This is a serious question so if you're just here to troll around and/or not answer it seriously then please do not post.

I think the only drastic thing ive ever done was like. OH DARN I TOOK 5 EXTRA UNITS OF INSULIN. GUESS THAT MEANS IM HAVING CAKE TODAY.
>_<;;;
Though I will admit, some days I have really bad days and I just feel like crying. I am the only one in my family with diabetes, so sometimes I feel really alone and I wonder why I had to be the one who got it....
;w; No one should ever troll here, I would instantly kick them out and ban them. this is meant for real diabetic support! ;A;

Thank you. heart
I do feel alone like that, mostly on holidays though when I'm surrounded by a ton of my relatives and I have to do my meds.
But I've been depressed for a few months now. Sure there have been some okay days when I've felt better, but things just suck so much. I hardly ever leave the house (mostly due to some anxiety issues with driving) and am always alone by myself in my room, the only human contact I get is with my family or people online. It's driving me up the wall.
Within the last month I've looked up stuff. Not exactly serious about doing anything though, I promised my bf (long distance, another reason why I feel so alone, I can't be with him yet) that I wouldn't, and I'm not about to break a promise to him.
But I just wanted to know I wasn't the only one thinking about doing something like that...

Sorry for the long wait.! Im terrible about getting on here now a days.
Its ok! Diabetes is a very hard disease to live with sometimes you know? Have you ever tried to find any diabetics in your area? Maybe having friends who can literally relate might help to better cope....
You can do it! =)

I used to go to school with two other diabetics. They were really nice and seemed so happy, I doubt I could relate...
Thank you though.

Well i have been battling depression even a few years before i was diagnosed with diabetes. I was going through a rough time in my life i felt when i found out i was diagnosed with it, i was like great now im diabetic too. I feel like i dont want to bother anybody with it because everyone acts like im so helpless because i have it. My other family members act like i cant eat anything beause i has sugar in it when i really can eat anything if i carb count it correctly. i remember having to go to a psychiatrist who blamed my depression on me having diabetes which wasnt true. I just said it was another negative thing in my life. the only hard thing now is trying to find a job to help with my diabetes. i know i cant do anything too physical labor bcause it will mess up my levels, and i need to find a job with good benefits so i can afford insulin. My whole life i told myself if i couldnt make it in school i would just join the military but now thats not an option anymore.

I also feel like im the only one in the world who has this disease because the only people ive ever met who had it had type 2 which was their own fault because they were fat and had the chance to stop it but didnt. One girl i went to school with who was type 1 had it under horrible control most of the time she skipped on shots and i rememebr finding it odd she drank regular soda alot.

My whole life i told myself if i couldnt make it in school i would just join the military but now thats not an option anymore. It sucks... I'm so very sorry. My depression has seemed to disappear for the moment, I got a puppy a week ago and that pretty much took away all of my thoughts about me and my faults and so I was just really thinking about the puppy. ^_^" Haven't felt really down since then, and I really hope it doesn't come back.

Well you're certainly not alone. Some people do give diabetics a bad name in that sense. My older sister had a friend who had type 1 and she would drink a lot. Honestly I would never touch alcohol, not just because of it being bad for me but because it just makes people stupid. And I can't even drink regular pop anymore, I can taste all of the sugar in it and it just tastes gross that way.

I have an anxiety disorder along with the ol' betes, not fun at all. The funny thing is, I only got it about ten years after the fact!
It's definitely challenging dealing with it and the diabetes, since so much diabetes awareness is driven by fear tactics. Sometimes it just feels like I'm stuck on a little hamster wheel and the only thing that's keeping me going is the fear of something worse happening if I stop.
Isn't it funny how it always feels like other diabetics cope so much better than we do? But honestly, they probably have the same fears we do, if not moreso.
You should never stop giving your insulin though or taking your medications. That just makes the problem worse(unstable blood sugars cause more anxiety/depression problems, believe it or not.). If you're feeling at your wits end, take some time, breath, and go to the doctor. Depression is serious business and can lead to terrible things, if untreated.
Much love, my fellow 'betes fighters. heart
