Grab a mug & fill it, this is a long one

Hello eveyone,
Thanks so much for keeping this great group alive.
It is on my heart to share this post with you. I feel kind of disconnected from you great folks, but it is defintely not your fault.
Sometimes when I am in a depression, I go in a denial about being a diabetic. I still take my meds and watch what I eat, But I am not as responsible with my eating choice as I should be. Sometimes too much..sometimes not enough...or just eat things I really shouldn't. I feel ashamed and then just try to.hide my head in the sand and think it will not affect me. I know that tis isn't what you joined the group to listen to.
I wondered if any of you get depressed or feel tis way because of Diabetes? I like to see the commercials on tv with the stars who have it and are honest about how they suffer. My Hero is BB King.
I am going to a weekly depression group and hopefully this will help.
My health problems sometimes dominate my entire days and even weeks at a tme. I am currently taking about8-10 meds a day.including Lantus and Humolog (when needed ) for the Diabtetes. I was on Prandin, but the insurance would not pay and I seem to be doing okay right now without it.

I just went Tuesday to the pain management doctor and got about 12 trigger point injections. I am waiting for the insurance to approve a cervical epidural (nerve block) This hopefully will make alot of difference.
I also went last week for a physical and "check up...from the neck up" :0) for my permanent disability.
My 2nd appeal is coming up soon, hopefully we will win and life will be a little more bearable.

Till then please excuse me for not posting here as much as I should or would like too. I would really appreciate keeping me in your prayers from time to time. I am a BIG BELIEVER in the power of prayer. I don't really address this stuff at the Craft forumn. I go there for distraction :0) That is my therapy lol There are always so many others that are far more needy on that board.
Sorry I wrote a novel here, but I really wanted you to understand and thank you all(especially Wendy..the Control Group cheerleader LOL) I love and encourage each of you and do pop in to see what's happening. I truly will be here so much as soon as things turn around,you will be sick of me yakking.
We really do need each other sometimes get that extra little incentive or share that laugh or tear.
I wish you blessings of Good Luck and Good Numbers,

Debbie aka Dutchie

I agree with Laurel. This is what this forum is for sharing and support. We all go through the rough times. If I was stricter on my eating habits I might actually lose some weight. I am trying but some days it is not working. I hate to go to the doctor and get blood work done. I am afraid of my numbers. Nut some how I get the kick in the butt I need to do it.

please don't be afraid to voice your feelings. I think you will find most of us in one way or another have felt the same way.

Sending big hugs your way!!

wendy

I know I feel better when I can "talk" to people that have some of the same issues. We are here to listen anytime you need us. I hope your depression lightens & your pain lessens. Prayers & Hugs coming your way.
