@dorma It can be a vicious cycle handling both depression and chronic pain as it seems one leads to the other and in turn can disrupt sleep, which may be contributing to your fatigue.

While I see many people have offered suggestions that have worked for them, these may not necessarily apply to everyone for various reasons. Studies definitely have shown being with others can help lift spirits, especially those who share similar interests. This group helps tremendously as a place to connect virtually as do the links to websites mentioned above; so can community groups in your local area if you have access or can arrange for transportation. Some areas offer senior transport services, should you fit into such a category you may want to investigate what is available to you if you require this to get to events offered at local Y's, community centers, hospitals or colleges.

Another consideration to assist with depression, pain and sleep issues would be CBT - cognitive behavioral therapy. Is that something you have looked into?
