I appreciate your reply. But the last thing I am is mopey. I don’t let my family see that I’m sad. I always put on a happy face. I’m very involved in our church, I volunteer at Hospice, and I feed and work with the homeless twice a month. I babysit my grandson 5 days a week and have my granddaughters over often. I’m not disconnected from kids at all. I simply wanted a thank you and a how are you feeling once in awhile. I see my oldest daughter at least 5 days a week and see my youngest 1-2 times per week and she calls daily to talk about her life. I also take care of my mom daily who has dementia. I’m very involved in life but depression doesn’t just go away because I walk outside. I’m glad you have found what works for you. I do believe greatly in the power of prayer and I do think that medication can be of great help. Evidently mine needs an adjustment.

I believe that she was replying to @catcatanzaro60.

@kdo0827 When I hear others talk about taking a walk will solve depression I can get irritated because not everyone can take a walk. I can say that taking a walk has not fixed things. I think when others state thus they do not mean it literally. It does come across as flippant at times. Do agree with you though. Think a walk can cure attitudes??
