If my current meds are relieving the horrible depression I was in, and they are, then I am able to deal with real life situations. When in a very deep depression I stay in bed and don't deal with anything. I am not talking about global warming or the economy or the war in Syria. I do not stress about things I have no control over. I am talking about things that are very real to me and my ability to deal with them. Money, my daughter, my ability to fly across the country and drive my car back across the country with my daughter, my health, my family, my friends, my ability to maintain healthy relationships. Things I do have some level of control over. May sound trivial to you but are very real to me.


If popping a pill relieves my depression and allows me to go back to work and not lose my job then you are ****ing A right it helps. It helps tremendously. How can you possibly say you doubt it would help???


As far as AP's I said if taking and AP is part of successfully treating your mental illness and that reduces stress then it could have an impact on diabetes. It would depend very much on how much stress contributes to diabetes.
