Depression and Anxiety at an older age

Seems anxiety and depression have become more of a challenge in these sage years. I try not to flog myself for who I am. It is these qualities that form the person I am and for me there are no "magic medications" to treat my illnesses. I am my strongest advocate. Trying with the skills I have to live out the rest of my life accepting the person I am and this person is still struggling and it is okay enough.

I agree. I'm in a really boring non-sexual marriage but have no other support. He's 81 and don't know where I'll end up when he passes. In the meantime I'm accepting who I am. I'm a good Christian with severe OCD and depression all my life. I'm just really lonely and bored with no sibling support. But I no longer see myself as a failure. My biggest OCD thought now is if I can survive bunion surgery without a breakdown. Has anyone had it done @ Mayo with any success?
