Depression and mood swings with type 1 diabetes

I became sick when i was 26. Shortly after i became very depressed. So long story short, I have battled depression for years. When my caregiver and best friend past away on 5/11/16 My whole life collapsed. Ive had two heart transplants my mother was my caregiver for both. I lived alone for 6 months after she passed. I dont work because im on disability. Three years ago i found out i was diabetic. I have learned to care for myself and manage all my health care needs. At first it was hard, because my mom would always go with to my transplant testing and heart caths. Now i go alone. God had given me strength to handle the hardest of days. I am not sure if this is the right forum for me to be talking about this. I am sorry if i did anything wrong.

Thank you very much. My faith is what keeps driving me.
hey if you feel comfortable talking here then talk away we are here either way
@bsox1901 So sorry for your loss. You sound like a very strong person. I know sometimes things get hard, but hang on to your faith and strength will come to you. Talking about your thoughts on your condition will help so much! Take care of yourself...
@shellsk24 My father was a strict Army Man. He passed away from Cancer when i was 11. My childhood ended that year. My mother became very depressed. I began to care for myself. Later in Life my mom would become my best friend. She dropped everything when i became sick. She showed me how to be a good parent.
While in the early stages of heart failure , i would see my friends pass. Death is a natural part of life. Still it is hard for us to let go. My mom passed 5/11/15 Luekemia. She showed me how to fight. Those lessons along with my faith in God as the Ultimate Physican. Everyday is a battle. The battle is easier to go along with once you have the right weapons.

I'm sorry for your loss.... It must so hard trying to do everything alone.
You are not alone, not really. I'm positive that both your Mom and God are watching over you.
You are in my prayers...
