You have gone through a lot for sure. I know that sometimes we need help to deal with depression and adjustments in losses in our lives. I read that many diabetics experience depression in their life. So hang in there. Consider getting some councelling and/or an antidepression. There is no shame in it. Life does have a way of turning around if you can learn acceptance and learn there are many things that you can do. My mate has many complications from his long term diabetes too. I wish you could know him because he is a very positive force in my life. Just hang in there one day at a time until the answers appear for you. Sincerely, Sally

I am truly sorry you are going thru all of that. I am going on 26 yrs soon so I know what can happen. I wont say its easy because for some of us it isnt. Just hang in there wacky bs can make us feel that way I know. Damage can make us feel depressed I hope things improve for you. Your right diabetes gets blammed for a lot but read up on autonomic neuropathy and it will explain a lot of what your going thru, I have most of all you say and know it isnt easy.
