Thanks hopeful,johnjames,&jimhd.....thanks for caring...sounds kind of canned doesn't it? But it is meant sincerely. I have convinced myself that I am not depressed, but when I look at how I feel and think, and sleep all the time, I am wondering. I don't think I feel guilty about ever being depressed,not now, I did when I was deep in its hold. my cardiologist put me on Zoloft, and it has helped like a miracle. I don't cry all the time, or get down about dying. There are so many things that contribute to depression, loss, getting older, being disabled,PAIN, children are too busy to visit, Most of the time I am able to handle things pretty good, just every once in a while it all seems to pile up all at once. So far I have been able to fight it off, mostly. I got on this site because I hoped to find a group of Seniors who are struggling and they would share with me how they cope, and how they "feel" about things. I believe I have found that place., now if I can give as much or more, that will be awesome.
PEACE & LOVE....JJ
