I'm feeling so sad just now. I feel for Tiff so much. Got such a shock last night when I read the news.

I've been really busy over the last few days complaining, along with lots of other parents of Type 1 children about the massive new governement campaign, change4life telling our children they got diabetes through an unhealthy lifestyle, and they will die you. It's total rubbish, and now some of the children are getting bullied and taunted at school cause of this campaign. Type 1 diabetes can't be avoided in any way, and those kids have to live with an incurable condition 24/7, injecting insulin is their life support. Now the government spend millions on distressing our children even more.

We've got a facebook group up and running, and an e-petition on the go. Anyone willing, please join or sign, we need to spread the word and get numbers up, doesn't matter if you've an interest in T1 children or not.

Can't say, this campaign upsetting Marc is helping my depression at all.

Glad you're feeling better Katie, how's everyone else today?

Thinking of everyone, but especially Tiff.

signed the petition, i remember my friend had one of the healthiest diets around and had had type 1 since she was tiny... it's a hard enough thing to deal with (for children especially) when it means they can't relax and enjoy as much cake at a party or a simple thing like that (we used to do cupcake birthday cakes for my friend and mini treats so that everyone was the same at our slumber parties!)

hope things get better for marc

doctor gave me a sick line for a week for my stomach bug and has asked me to come back on tuesday because he is concerned about the tiredness (i told him i'm feeling tired all the time and that i am usually a very energetic person which i am when i'm not feeling down) so he is going to run some blood tests for me but I am worried that because I am so used to having to put on a brave face and because he doesn't know me (this is the first time i've been to the doctors since i moved from scotland) he won't realise... he does seem really lovely though

hugs to everyone that needs them

Hi, if you are still worried at the next appointment ask the doc to give you a questionnaire to fill in. It's about 20 questions and should only take a few minutes to fill in, based on this it will show if you are suffering from depression or not. You may even be able to find it somewhere on the web, but might be better to let the doc sort it out.

I'm so tired tonight. It seems so hard to cope when I'm tired. I'm just about getting used to being back at work, but I was tired when I woke up, and then I had to go to the job centre because I'm only well enough to work about 14 hours a week, and they said I can claim employment and support allowance. That will really help, but the day has been too busy and I can't cope. My brain is too full.
We have no money, all I have is a little bit of my overdraft left, all our cards are maxed out, my OH is working all he can to get enough to pay the rent next week, and we are getting food from his mother. It's so stressful.
I need to cry and get all these bad feelings out but I'm too tired to cry. It's the only way I can get relief from how I feel.
I know we are better off than many people. I've got nothing to be depressed about. It just seems that the constant pressure of just being alive is too much for me.
