Diabetes  

Emotions
Diabetes brings many permanent life changes. One big change is accepting the daily responsibility to care for your own health with a disease that currently has no cure. Sometimes you may become depressed, feeling lonely and overwhelmed.

Call your physician if any of the following lasts more than two weeks:
•
 Feeling hopeless
•
 Feeling "blue" or sad most of the time
•
 Lack of energy after adequate rest
•
 Lack of interest in things you once enjoyed
•
 Lack of interest in sex
•
 Sleeping disturbance such as too much or too little sleep

 

Remember:
You are not alone. Diabetes is a common disease, and others often have these feelings. With proper treatment, encouragement and support you will feel better and be able to care for yourself.

Please seek professional counsel immediately if you have thoughts of taking your life.
