Sorry to do this to you all again but I just want to scream. I had a hypo last night (2.8) and woke up 16.6 this morning, have got no work done yesterday or today and have a meeting with my supervisor today and not much to show for my time. I feel so down at the moment, I am scared of being alone and just want to cry all the time, I feel like my life is just diabetes and depression at the moment. My GP has put my anti-ds up from 30mg to 40mg but it doesn't help, I need support not tablets and I need to deal with the underlying problems not treat the symptoms.

I just wish I had a purpose in life, I want to help people, no one should have to go through depression and medical problems alone but feeling like this I am no use to any one and there is of course the need for an income!

I don't see the point in anything at the moment, I know it will pass but why is life so hard, all I want to do is be a good person, help others and be happy but it seems impossible.
 
Hi Shiv, I have a psychologist, and it does help a bit but she is away for a few weeks which isn't helping
 
Hi Natalie, sorry to hear that you are feeling so lost at the moment :( I know how it feels because I was pretty much the same at your age. I don't know if I've already suggested this to you, but not quite as many years ago I read a really excellent book, What Next by Dr Barbara Moses, which takes you through a series of chapters and questionnaires that really help you to elucidate your own strengths, skills and type of work that both appeals to you and you are best-suited for. It seems to be out of print now, but there are some second hand copies going very cheap on the link (?2.78 inc. p&p) so worth getting I think 🙂
 
Thanks Alan, don't think you've mentioned it, I will be buying, sounds good and you can't go wrong at that price!
