Old age is definitely not easy. I'm 85 and was diagnosed many years ago as manic/depressive. I do have to struggle against depression, but I have learned what works best for me is making others happy, even for a few minutes. I do the website for our church and do an online prayer request. I go to the fitness center, to the local Subway most days for lunch and know most of the employees in the grocery store. I have a dog and two parrots. I believe pets give us so much love and offer us an opportunity to love in return. I have a Facebook page. BTW, I'm married, have one married son, no grandchildren and lost one son. I'm exhausted often also, but I try to do a little and rest a little. We can't just give up. Life is a precious gift.
