A diabetic with broken mental health 💔

😕

Posting from my phone sorry for spelling and such..

So I am a type 1 diabetic, have been for the last 23 years. Like most with this disease during this time I have had my own close calls.

Lately my mental health has been horrific. The girl I thought was my forever cheated on me. It was three months ago. I am still broken

I have been suffering with diabetes distress for the last 16 months or so. Its getting progressively worse, was just wondering if anyone else here deals with crushing depression. If they feel overwhelmed.

I've been reading a lot about diabetes and depression. It's crazy how many type 1s try to kill themselves. But I get it.

Overwhelmed by the lack of relief, always worry about bloodsugars and trying to keep everything even to keep or get your license.

Seems like life is insurmountable at times.

How do others get the strength? When it'd be so easy to give up?

I've tried meds and professionals. Neither worked so far........

Diabetics seems to be more prone (wrong word) to suicide. Seems like a popular method is to overdose with insulin. I've thought of this in the past, never acted upon it.

Sorry for the rambling..... just another broken human....
