Diabetes and Depression


It's hard to hear that i have diabetes, and it's hard to live with diabetes every day. There's never a break from diabetes. Caring for our diabetes takes a lot of effort, and the burden can seem like more than we can handle. Feeling sad and blue and depressed at times is common among people with diabetes, but this is nothing to feel ashamed of. Serious depression is a medical problem. If any one of you have serious depression, it can be hard to get out of bed, do our work, or enjoy anything. We might have trouble being with family and friends or taking care of our diabetes. At this point the only thing which can work is the realism, the realism that only I myself can change the situation by my own will power and efforts only then the treatment with counseling or medicine can help us feel better, and we can take charge of our diabetes again.
