I’m 72, healthy living with my sig. other for 10 years. Lately nothing seems right I have stopped watching the news, too depressing. But I’m under a lot of sad and depressed feeling not sure why. Have meds from a few months ago but there are so many side effects I’m scared to take them. I hate this feeling.

Welcome 💐

I’m glad you’re here. The news will kill your soul. Haven’t seen it in years. Good on you!!

there are periods in life where there is a bit of lowness. but know it shall pass. try to remember what you may had gone through before and how you overcame! If you need to, reach out to a local church and see if there is a ministry you can be part of. Perhaps also, go back to hobbies you enjoy? I started a book club, and I am loving it!! perhaps gathering some friends? I am sending you a big hug!

Welcome. Have you considered talking to your GP? I wasn’t diagnosed with depression and anxiety until a couple of years ago. And I’m 70 now. I’m not saying that’s what your problem is (it could be a number of things). I’m just sharing my experience. Keep posting and let us know how you’re feeling. Lynne
