I’m a senior female. I live on a farm with my husband. I have always had some form of anxiety and depression. It got seriously worse after my father’s passing. I hope I can communicate with people like me.

Welcome to the community. You’re not alone. There are plenty of people here to help you.

You don’t mention if you’ve been formally diagnosed. Or what treatment you’ve already had. Let us know a little more.

Keep posting.

I was formally diagnosed around 1995. I'm on two different meds. but it doesn't help much. I was talking to a therapist, but my husband just retired and we have to tighten the purse strings. I'm looking into online therapy through my insurance. Of course procrastination is part of my MO. I spun out of control when my daughter lost two sons 9 months apart. I'm slowly working my way back. Thank you

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that xx

I’m so sorry for your losses. Grief is a bitch. There’s a Bereavement forum on HealthUnlocked. You may want to consider joining. I lost my daughter two years ago, and it’s helped me.

I understand living on a fixed income. I’m still learning how to manage it. Even after 10 years.

Hi its natural to grieve the loss of 2 grandsons. My sympathy goes out to you , and be gentle on yourself,

[Frankie24]

I am so sorry about your loss. I can only understand your increased anxiety and depression. Losing a parent at any age is very difficult. My dad passed back in 2009. It was an incredibly difficult time. You need to allow yourself plenty of time to mourn and be kind to yourself as well. If things are really bad and your able talk to a professional or even just a good friend. Telehealth is available now whereby you can get therapy with a local therapist via zoom. I will pray for you and I wish you the best. You will find much good support here .

Welcome. I suffer from anxiety and depression as well. This group is a safe place to express how you feel

[Thankfulforhelp22]

Sorry to hear about your Dad’s passing. Welcome to this site. I have found it to be a beneficial place and hope you will too.

Peace and joy to you.

I was diagnosed in 2005 and went on meds then. They stopped working last fall. It can happen. That might be something to ask a doctor about. Now I'm on new meds that do work for me. I hope you find relief.

[Marysblue]

Welcome.. you'll find a lot of people that understand and share the same problems.

[emmi331]

So glad you are here, CLB1125! I remember that one of the things triggering my last episode of anxiety/depression was the death of my nephew. Keep coming here to share your thoughts and concerns. You will find unconditional and generous caring here. ❤

Hi and welcome this is a lovely group with friendly and supportive people. It’s certainly helped me 💛

[designguy]

Welcome to the group here. You mention that you are on a budget so one of the things you can do is check out all the good info thats free on youtube. It's pretty amazing the depth and quality of info that is on there now. You might check out the youtubes and website of Paige Pradko and also the youtubes of DARE Anxiety for good info about anxiety/depression.

Hello & Welcome to this helpful & understanding site. I am struggling, too, with Grief, Anxiety, & depression. Lost my Significant Other last Nov. & that has increased my anxiety/depression ten fold. I do have a Grief Counselor, and a Grief Support Group; but, they, or No one, really, can take away the utter sadness, aloneness, etc. that I feel everyday. I, am, also a Senior living on a fixed income. I guess, this post of mine isn't much help, but know you are not alone. Prayers & hugs sent your way.

Hi they Hope your well and I am glad you found his site, we are here for each other. Some reply much quicker than others like.

I am also going through my own issue and just so forgetful to be honest. I myself lost my father and its been just over a year and I miss him and that little moment when you could a little chat with father but you can't.

I am in the same position as you. Never feel as if you can't talk. Think of good times that you had with your father and when your sitting they watching the view of your farm if you still have it and imagine he is with you smiling back at you.

I hope that helps welcome once again.
