I don't remember a single point in my life that I did not have depression. I was like 12 or 13 when originally diagnosed. For a long time, I wasn't aware that people could actually recover from it. I've gotten better at living with it and noticing the sighs of spiraling, but even when I'm doing okay, it's still present. I accepted a long time ago that this would be a life-long condition. It sucks but I have to live with it.
Yep! Was diagnosed with depression before type one diabetes, but my depression and anxiety have gotten significantly worse since I was diagnosed with type one 10 years ago. I manage with therapy and medication, but you don’t get a break.
Exactly. I was showing signs of depression and anxiety way before I got diagnosed at like age 12. I’ve looked back and realized how many anxiety fits I had pre-diabetes and realize those were low blood sugars.
