Hi Paul,

I'm sorry about what you're going through right now. I know about depression and it's a very tough thing to deal with.

I think you meant to post on the Depression board and posted here, on the diabetes board. I just wanted to let you know so that you can repost on the Depression board and get some help there.

Good luck to you.

Sharon :)

Paul,

I too am sorry for the hard time you are facing right now! Depression is no fun and is not pleasant. I have been depressed before too. May I offer you a few words that were a help to me.....they were words from an older woman that had been through a lot of rough days. She told me the simple words...."This too will pass." In other words this hard place you are in right now, will pass, it will get better. Another thought that helped me when I felt discouraged was to simply take one day at a time. Don't give up hope. Take care, and please let us know how you are doing.:)

You need to be under the care of a doctor that can prescribe the right meds for you. It's a tough battle, deppression, I've been living with it for 3 years now. medication is what works for me. Don't stop fighting it, Life is a precious gift.

Paul -

Definitely seek some counseling right away as well. You obviously have some really difficult issues that you're dealing with and you need to talk with a professional.
