Warning- rant ahead

Today I went to a checkup with my doctor.  She told me I have been diagnosed with diabetes and I will have to change my diet. So not only do I have low self-esteem, major depression and insomnia; I can't eat the foods that comfort me. This doesn't depress me though, it makes me mad. It is also one more reason I hate my life. (BTW- diabetes does not run in my family and I am not extremely overweight). Honestly, my appetite has been off for a while now. I have many days where I don't eat, days when I only have one meal a day (usually breakfast just so I can take my meds.) I have to take the new meds with dinner. Have you ever felt like not eating after you made food? That's been me for the last few months. Getting older sucks.

NotAllHere713 OP April 30th

@Tinywhisper11 

I've been feeling awful as my body gets used to the meds. What's worse is that someone close to me, who says they love me- suggested that I go for a walk every day after work because I need to exercise. "Oh, and by the way. take the dog with you." BTW, this person works from home most days, is too lazy to heat up their own food, and doesn't take more than 100 steps a day.

@NotAllHere713 so basically that person wants a few dog walker, and ain't afraid to hurt your feelings whilst saying so. People really need to stop and think before they talk, I'm so sorry sweetie 😥 it's not like you haven't got enough on your mind already.  I'm not sure if there are many alternative meds, for diabities, but if it gets to much, please call your doctor. How have you been with eating lately? Will the doctors be keeping a close eye on your weight now because of diabetes?? Only please becareful you don't loose a lot of weight. Sending big hugs ❤❤ I know it's infuriating and upsetting, but please try not to pay any attention to what that person said ❤❤
