Chronic depression, low grade bi-polar, diabetes, and now ESRF. Help!

| I have been a diabetic since age 18 months, and am now 34. I have gone
through so many problems due to diabetes, as well as being diagnosed
with chronic depression and low grade bi-polar disease. Because I am
hard to insure, I have been relying on TennCare (my state's
governmentally run insurance that works with Medicare and Medicade),
which has now put a limit on my anti-depressant that is lower than my
prescribed dosage. My prescribed dosage is also too little, and I have
spent the past two years (diagnosed on Halloween of '03) in severe
depression from almost every factor of this new complication.
I was so happy, albeit ill for a few months, before my diagnosis. Now,
I cry all of the time (especially now, watching the Katrina stories and
news unfolding so sorrowfully), and want to know if this kind of
problem is normal, or agitated by anything hormonally linked to ESRF.
Any guesses or info would be greatly appreciated, as well as most
likely cried about for no real reason. :-)

I'm a T2 diabetic in early stage renal failure from FSGS (go figger)
*and* have had a chronic kidney infection for over 2 years. I don't
think being really, really upset by what's happening in NOLA and MS has
anything to do with kidneys or diabetes ... it's just being human.
Try not watching/listening to the news for a while. I'm trying to take
my own advice.
