Hello. I never learned to type, and maybe you never did either, so maybe that's why you don't write more.

83 is not the 83 of years ago, and my family lives through their 80s and 90s. I'm a senior now too. So what's up with you?

Don't like to hear that you are not feeling well....what is worry you so much? Maybe just writing back will help. There are a ton of good people here waiting to help. So write,ok? We waiting. Promise.

Talk to your Dr if you think it’s the medicine. There are usually different alternative medicines that may not give you side effects. Medicine can cause side affects like anxiety so talk to your dr. Hope you feel better soon.

It is no wonder you are worrying with the awful time you are going through. It is no wonder you feel isolated. People do understand on this forum and can help, so however alone you feel there is always someone to listen. Sometimes it requires great strength to reach out, but it is important you do. People do care.

Hello

Sorry you are having so much trouble with anxiety. I have anxiety and depression disorder. There isn’t anything to to but keep fighting and praying. I am on medication also. If yours is not working have your doctor try another. Mine had to be switched but it took a while to notice the difference. We all have issues, we all have to fight.

If you want to talk to someone, I am a good listener

Thanks but been going on for 10years or so tried bat least 5 meds no help just makes it worse it won't change until i get awAy from this environment I give and give but treated disrespectful it is what it is and at 83 not much time

Sounds like you might be better in sheltered housing or similar? I sympathise as I have bad mobility due to arthritis, and am alone too. Anxiety meds if you are on them too long, can cause problems. Have you ever had any blood tests for your vitamin levels, as you might be low on some, us older folk often are, and it's well worth asking your dr about. As for looking after other people's dogs, how about actually telling your daughter that it's too much for you??!! At 83 you are entitled to a bit of TLC. Hope things improve for you.

If your Daughter can afford to go on cruises, and to Europe while you pay the rent and living expenses I would assume she would be able to pay for her own bills if she cut out all of the luxury get aways.

Assisted living would be great for you. My Mom lives in a retirement home where they have lots of activities and crafts. They get to go on outings when it’s warm outside. She has many friends, and seems to love it. Plus lots of help when she is not feeling well.

I’m so sorry you seem to be taken advantage of.
