[Senior70]

By way of introduction, I am 70, diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. 10 years sober recovering alcoholic, single and have a PT job to make ends meet. Mellencamp summed up my feelings “life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone” I tend to be a quiet person so this may be my longest post ever. Thanks to everyone who made me feel welcome.

have you been to a site DBSA (depression bipolar support alliance) it is a free site, they have online meetings and you can talk to people with similar situations. The age range is very diverse, I have seen teenagers to the elderly in these meetings. Some areas also have in person meetings once a week, but that depends on where you live and if one is ongoing. I do both, I go to in person meetings and online meetings. It is nice to talk with people who don't judge you, and to hear from others with the same issues. I wish you luck!
