Feeling very lost

[SOULBIRD]

Thanks for the welcome guys, really appreciate it. I've been to see a psychologist today as a new part of my diabetic treatment. As it was our first meeting we just talked about me and how I felt she could help me and to be honest I wasn't sure what to say to that. I guess that i'm the same as many of you guys and many other diabetics out there, I haven't ever properly grieved over the diagnosis, all these years I thought I was fine about it but that was because I wasn't really adapting my life to cope with it, I was just ignoring it. Now I've started to look after my health more I am finding it difficult, mostly due to my body getting used to lower sugar levels. I've also been diagnosed with nueropathy and until the meds I've been prescribed kick in properly the pain is hard to cope with (I don't really cope well with pain, i'm not exactly the suffer in silence type = / ) I've also been told my kidneys aren't working as well as they should be and although I don't need to take any medication for that yet it was still a bit of a kick in the gut finding that out. But i'm determined to stay positive, keep on track and control my diabetes rather than it control me X
