Diabetes and depression

This topic is not new, of course.But I would like to listen to comments about experiences in this regard.

It is not clear if diabetes is associated with depression, but it is true that I started problems at the same time that I was diagnosed, and I did not just lift heads.

Good seasons, bad seasons.Loss of illusions, feeling of frustration, great inability to work, communication problems and other similar.

It is not that the issue of glucose control overwhelms me too much, in a way I do not carry the diabetes badly.This seems to be a secondary, collateral consequence, which is there and well ... I often find it much more ungrateful than diabetes itself.

Greetings for everyone.

I believe that this is something that of course can create depression or help believe it, or anxiety crisis, our brains are working 24 h a day 365 days a year without any rest.

Of course, this disease can cause depression in many wayday can be increased.Diabetes is not only a deficiency of the pancreas, it is also a psychological disease, it occupies 24 hours a day and little is the rest or nothing you can take without having it in mind.On the other hand is the effect of the sugar level, it will be below or above.In my case there are occasions when my level is low that my thoughts of distorting to another dimension that I think like I am dying and that sensation will be that and that will happen after being dead, if I know, it is unpleasant.It is only for you to see what effect the lack of sugar has in the mind, now when it is the opposite of the level is high, because the apathy enters, with it it disaggers, left and abandoned, that state of it gives me everything the same becauseso that, or not having the strength to continue.If you add the work, the family, the friends, the neighbor, etc ... or have a large mental and psychological strength or it is very easy to fall into the abyss.What can be done?In my case and in the majority and even on the recommendation of a specialist it is to play sports, doing sports you will release a series of glands, which help unlock the mind, segregate adrenaline that is a stimulant apart from burning that tension, stress and other accumulated.It is not necessary to make a daily marathon for this, it is enough to have a daily routine to which you make the body dependent on it.

Some days this is like throwing yourself by a bridge so of course it is normal to be related.It is a work of 24 hours 7 days a week and that exhausts and especially when you try and do not see results (those days of file x that we all have, are not desperate, are the following ...)

Very grateful for your contributions.It is clear, that is a day -to -day fight, minute by minute and you have to take strength from anywhere.
A hug.

@Miguel In addition to what you have already told you, do not stop reading these issues, I think they will give you some other response!;)

It would not be more than to look at the thyroid.Something that is associated with diabetes is hypothyroidism, and one of the symptoms it gives is depression.I hope you improve!

I don't know if diabetes came to me by inheritance or for a series of circumstances and explained to my company: a boss came to my company;Because the dictatorial way that he implemented from the beginning did not comply. For three years it was a daily struggle between him: he took the category, he sanctioned me of employment and salary, put me against my classmates, I brought down in such a way thatIt made me feel (with forgiveIn which I almost always left harmed, although he also wore his own. Thank you to the union to which I am affiliated I still work and to him, but all this fight left me some mental sequelae that I think it triggered in a diabetes that does notI had and with which I have lived for twelve years. I always think that it is a vicious circle, according to the brain, the sugar is.I think that from the experience, I came out reinforced, but also more sensitive with everything that happens around me, I do not affect things if one thing leads to the other etc ... I think that sport is the best therapy and that isWhat I always do. Can you explain if this is so?Thanks in advance

When I was diagnosed, I was spending in the last two-years for also horrible situations.The same appeared our diabetes as a consequence of that @"Rafaelcaballero" because I do not know if it was inherited or if it was because that, my body could no longer and somewhere exploded.
And today, I begin to consider for several things that it may have depression, but I am not able to go to any doctor, the truth.

Here I share several issues in which there has also been talk about the relationship between diabetes and depression, I think they will seem interesting!;)

I think that everything that governs our consciousness (and also the subconscious) affects our entire body and if you are a woman, worse, thanks to hormones.

The depressive paintings are suffered by all people, with or without diabetes.Perhaps with diabetes more episodes of helplessness, tiredness, etc. arise, etc.that undermine us more than going through the same circumstances without diabetes, and that increases us the feeling that the diabet produces or contributes to depression.

It is best to consult with a psychologist;A talk with a professional helps a lot.I went before being diabetic for other issues similar to those that @"Miguel" counts and the truth is that I helped me a lot.Since I debuted I have been once again, but not for diabetes.It is the environment that does directly affect me, but now I have techniques to see it with other eyes and live quietly.
