Loneliness: Why am I depressed?

@lindasmith1222 I am happy to read you are feeling better as the day has gone on. Those two weeks will fly by quicker than you think, I bet. So, now you are in a new state, there are many things to discover. If you are near a town, there are new roads to learn, new shops to find out about, community events you might be interested in, new landscapes to uncover [and find a few favorites!], etc. Is there a newspaper to subscribe to, to keep you in the loop of information?
Something that has always helped me, is to write it out. Write what is your biggest obstacle, write a letter to it, and "talk it out". Do you think that might be a benefit to you?

I had written numerous children's books, none published although adults I lent them to thought I should. I wrote them for my grandchildren. They are about depression, in case this is a mental disorder that is generational, which I believe is a strong possibility although I have never kept up with any studies to verify this. Now my depression keeps me from enjoying life or doing anything. Today I will get out of the house, but I have to force myself or drinks many cups of coffee!
About my first psychiatric appointment coming up, it will just be a history, I am sure. Establishing any relationship with anyone is both frightening and difficult. I depended a great deal on my family and they are ALL either dead or not talking to me because I am 'nuts.' I think those are the nutty ones as I do not see any of them trying to improve their lot. Ti ur credit, we are here, reaching out and trying to improve our lives.
