Hi, Both of your parents are diabetic though lately may be due to lack of stress in the life. There is a possibility of your getting diabetis early, you get it checked frequently. The lump you are mentioning might be the lipoma, it has nothing to do with your health and if is growing ugly, you can get it removed safely. Due to physical and mental strain probably you have developed some depression.
Besides treatment you also practice diversion procedures like yoga, meditation, reading books of you interest, and hearing music to have a quick relief of any thing.
