How do I add aging issues to a life I have never been happy in?

It sounds wonderful but impossible for me. I am truly happy to hear you can do this. I cannot explain clearly how I feel. I have major deppression that I see a doctor for. I must have the weakest control over my emotions! I cannot seem to get out of this dark hole of negativity. I hate who I am and there is no way I can just say get over it or try the fun things you suggest. I need to stop posting and reading how "normal" people handle bad experiences and aging because I am feeling more and more down when I hear how most people deal and I cannot.

@grasping Hello, i think a lot of us with depression are not doing well. Mine began in my teens, exacerbated at age 26 after my last child was born. I cannot take the popular "mood stabilizers", because i begin having tremors after one month (of being happy and normal 🙄) -such a disappointment to know they did not work. I have made up my mind to do what i can, not feel ashamed for what i cannot control, and maybe tomorrow will be better. And many times, it is. And at 65, i am proud of myself. I have used this alone time to study history and art, so being depressed has not been wasted time. I hope that you find peace and some joy, and hope!

I feel you.
Am alot like you and feel alot like you do. Seeing it in writing is too much a mirror for me 🙁 I guess denial has work better for me. But now, I don't know about that.
It's hard to say how we can be helped.
Politically I am very depressed and actually angry, for awhile now. That has affected my health. Also not realizing how fast time has gone by...then seeing that time has.
Then finding out in one year all these things major going wrong with my body.
Things don't seem positive anymore.
Can anybody say something for being more positive in the face of adversity for us?
