@tarinmo, I'm echoing the other commenter who took issue with your "remodel his place, take him on a cruise" post. This is nonsensical, and if my bluntness offends you, I apologize -- but you're causing harm by posting nonsense.

There's a difference between being blue / down in the dumps (because life is difficult, or because one is grieving a loss) and being depressed. Depression is deeply rooted, and IT WILL NOT RESPOND to superficial changes like that!

For your own sake, please read some articles on the Psychology Today website about depression vs. the blues (the PT website is free and is written for laypersons). And please either refrain from posting "solutions" that aren't solutions, or at the very least preface them by saying "This worked for me when I was down in the dumps; I don't know whether I was technically depressed."

Finally, if you plan to continue posting, then please use commas and periods, and please insert paragraph breaks -- please use the long-established conventions that help readers understand a long block of prose.
