I have been suffering from depression for several years and currently, my depression has worsened. I am 61 years old and rent a room. I currently take antidepressants but I still suffering. I also suffer from Type 2 Diabetes, heart block, and poor circulation in my legs. I try to be positive but it is hard.

Yeah, my Dad is borderline diabetic that means he is on the verge to becoming diabetic - he takes medicine and for his heart - he has to watch what he eats. Something interesting may be youtube - any subject like music or guided meditation youtube or pinterest for say motivational quotes. Most people like to meditate, here on this site but they also take medication for their depression, mental health problems

Are you been seen by a Diabetes Nurse and having blood tests etc. You need to discuss your poor circulation with your Doctor.Have you been offered talking therapy. I know with this Covid problem getting out and about can be a problem however we can still go out for a walk ?.

I had a biopsy of my right leg where the circulation is not so good. I have an appointment for December 22 for the results.

Good you have a Doctors appointment. I have one on Wednesday as they need to check a growth on my neck, I also have a hospital telephone call on the 29th Dec to arrange a hospital appointment so it seems we can get appointments if we are persistent

Can you not get your results sooner rather than later, everything is taking to long as the hospitals concentrate on the Covid Virus.

Are you entitled to Statins yet, I take them and my readings taken two weeks ago were good

You have a lot going on. Take the time to set up a daily routine. You are number one and you need to take care of yourself. For heart block and poor circulation, I suggest you check FLW, rowland formula. My dad used this years ago when he could no longer have open heart bypass and it cleared his blockage. herbesthealth.com/products/... Type 2 diabetes, eat right and the main thing is to exercise, walk, walk, walk as much as you can. All the best to you, I wish you well and good luck.
