Good Afternoon - the day has sailed by.
I caught a wee chill since Friday and today I feel a bit better. What I have noticed is that roughly the same time last year, I felt a bit low. However, I realised that maybe due to the fact that i got money issues. Amazed that how an illness just caused me to face up to my problems and to come out of attack mode. I started to compare feb 2012 with now and there are differences:
1. I have been seeing a therapist weekly since feb 2012
2. I get work as Security when it is available
3. I haven't stood still since then, I have had quite a few temporary agency jobs
4. Kick started my weight loss again.

Also being single doesn't help....loneliness is not a good thing. Although I got friends just someone to talk to.... Although I was diagnosed since 2011 with type 2. I no longer feel that empty pit of sadness that I used to. I look at it this way... my diagnosis was a blessing in disguise. It gave me the strength to exercise more and lose weight....just another rambling
 
You've made great progress over the past 12 months Rustee, and made many friends here - long may things continue to improve for you! 🙂
 
Thanks for the words of encouragement. I do try
