Where am I? I am consumed with grief over losing my 17-yr-old son in a car
accident in 1997, and watching my youngest son who was in the accident with
him struggle to recover physically and emotionally. and yes, those emotions
totally whack your body system. But in addition, I retreated so far into
grief that I stopped doing anything except eating comfort foods like ice
cream and pasta and laying on the couch, sleeping as many hours of the day as
I could to hide from my pain, gulping anti-depressants and benzos and
Prilosec with the aid of the medical community. So there again I believe it
was a combination of the two things — the overload of emotions and the
non-care of my body that led to my type 2. It definitely mattered what I ate
and drank.

It has no effect on the illness Ok .... I disagree almost totally. If what you are saying is that you believe illness comes from the mind-body connection, I think that is a big part of it. Your mind, your thoughts are a huge part of your wellness/illness. But also you can't fill your body with junk and expect it to run right. I believe the two run hand in hand.
