DIABETES AND DEPRESSION (MENTAL HEALTH)
With diabetes, feeling physically good is half the battle. Feeling mentally good is the other half.
DEPRESSION is a serious mental health condition. It can affect anyone, regardless of culture, background and family history. It causes one to feel bad about oneself, your life and your relationships.
If you have diabetes — either type 1 or type 2 — you have an increased risk of developing depression. However, the good news is that diabetes and depression can be treated together.
And effectively managing one can have a positive effect on the other💯.
Diabetes take a toll on more than your body. Its normal to feel emotional strain and its also important to ask for help.
With diabetes, you have a lot on your mind.
Tracking your blood sugar levels, dosing insulin, planning your meals, staying active—it’s a lot to think about.
It can leave you feeling run down, emotionally drained and completely overwhelmed. It’s called DIABETES BURNOUT.
And that's why it’s important to stay in touch with your emotions as you manage your diabetes.
What are you feeling?
Stressed out⁉
Angry⁉
Sad⁉
Scared⁉
It's natural to feel angry
It can start with your diagnosis - It can go from “why me?” to pure rage at your disease.
Anger is an important part of your journey towards accepting your life with diabetes. And while it can feel good and empowering, out-of-control anger can be harmful to you and those around you—and it can lead to depression and stress.
The key to dealing with your anger starts with being able to identify what’s making you angry.
🤧Is it fear?
🤧Is it loss of control?
🤧Is it anger at yourself?
As you find yourself getting angry, try to identify its root cause—and then work to transcend it.
When you feel anger, there are a number of things you can do to short circuit it:
Take a breath✅
Take an even deeper breath✅
Get a drink of water✅
Sit down✅
Lean back✅
Work to silence yourself✅
Take a walk✅
BEWARE OF DENIAL
As with pretty much every emotion you feel when you’re diagnosed with diabetes, denial is natural.
Everyone feels that sense of, “not me,” or “I don’t believe it,” or "there must be some mistake.”
But at some point, you have to accept your diagnosis and take action.
By continuing to deny it, you run the risk of not taking action to fight the disease and keep yourself healthy.
