What I found that helps me with depression is to list my accomplishments. I had to start out slow like: getting out of bed and taking my pills. Give yourself credit for doing things. It makes you feel better about yourself which generally helps ev...

It is difficult for anyone to understand what depression feels like. I get sick of diabetes too. I am alone as well. I know that makes dealing with illness and depression even worse. Do you see a therapist or take medication for your depression? I...

Barbara:

I TOTALLY understand. I do the same time and again. I goof off and then buckle down. But, you see, this type of behavior can only lead to destruction. They can only cause complications down the way. I know ... read my story on my profile. You will understand that it is not something that is uncommon but can lead to fatal or near-fatal complications. Please go to my site here and read my profile. Then contact me and maybe we can commiserate.
