When things just don't get better

Yes, Ive been trying to branch out finding other support, but thats not easy. I live in the country, with small communities around, mostly land. There are hardly any resources then individual counseling...no groups etc. I've volunteered at different things in the past, but haven't had much luck. I've done church groups, not a particular favorite. And yes a lot of the time I am limited by my body....I don't have the energy, or am feeling unwell. I do push myself, but get very sick. I'm trying to juggle doctors and traveling to them all the time. So, Ive tried finding support online. Most doctors I've seen aren't very helpful. I've been told to go to Mayo but I'm not even sure if everything was set up I could travel that far right now, plus I'm not covered. It's just frustrating and I feel like I haven't really been able to relate to anyone, especially around my age. I don't have anymore ideas. My brain just feels fried.

Daphne, I so much feel for you! It is so Sad right now with the quarentine! We all seem to be having issues! I have suffered from depression and anxitiy all of my 75 years! I have had many dark parts of my Life because of it! For the last 30 years I have been on medication that has helped, plus working very hard researching what I can do for myself! But as of late I have had to Dig Down and read and practice very hard not to fall back into one of those dark moments!
I also have no one to talk to about those times, so that's why sites like Mayo Connect have really helped in the last couple of years!
Bless You!
