Depression and Anxiety at an older age

Hi JJ, I need someone to talk with, desperately. I have had depression for many, many years, I am 79. I had two episodes of depression when my doctor was trying to switch my meds and I was close to suicide. My doctor is the best and I am okay now. I am taking Welbutrin, Seroquel, and Trintellix.
I was in a relationship for 16 years, he died and I have been alone for 2 years. My daughter lives near by, but that is not the same. I have such a hard time really, really telling my daughter how I feel. My daughter is on a cruise right now she will be back in 10 more days. I have not been outside for 6 days.
I am sorry to go on like this. Thanks for listening

You are not alone. Everything you said is how I am feeling and how my life is. I am just a piggy bank for my adult children. I am so depressed that I don't know what to do. I see a social worker to talk on Monday. I am 70. My family is gone. I just have a few friends, but I could easily not talk to anyone or go out for 7 days and no one would notice or care.

hi, just wanted you to know that I suffer also with Depression and Anxiety and have been for my whole life. I am 63 almost and the loneliness of this illness is so hard. I am now taking Cymbalta and Remeron. I am sorry for your loss. life is not so easy is it. Hugs to you..Blessings also
