I have not been here for quite awhile so I didn't know it was only 70 characters. I'll have to cut this really short. I'm a 77 year old healthy woman, divorced after 45 years, relocated in a place I do not like in a Sec. 8 Senior Apt. Bldg. Been struggling with Anxiety/Depression all my life. Was in therapy 14 years, moved, see a psychiatrist for meds., but no therapy .... old therapist is 3 hours away. Daughters and families down here; I do not like it down here; in other city/state was busy, active, part-time work, wonderful church, close friends, had my own condo, wonderful city. Here? Do not like it, X lives 20 mi. away in a big house on 2 acres; I see my girls each week; otherwise I stay here; all others should be in Nursing Home or Asst. Living. rather than here ... very depressing. Have not found a church, town very small, stay in a lot and read. Feel like I'm just waiting to die. Barb
(I didn't realize these had to be so short now.)

Hi @amberpep Barb, welcome back. It's good to see you.
FYI, only the title of a discussion has to be 70 characters long. Your message can be as long as you need it to be.

You'll notice that I moved your new post to this discussion that you started a while back. I did this so you can continue to connect with old and new virtual friends. A lot of people have been writing to you in your absence. Here is the link to your last message in this discussion group - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/251875/

I suggest clicking the link and start reading from there. You'll see that your posts invited others to share their stories, many offer empathy and ideas, and everyone welcomes you back around the virtual table to chat and catch up.

Hello Barb, @amberpep

I would like to join @colleenyoung, Dana, and others in welcoming you back to Connect. I've thought of you often. It is good to hear from you!
