Thank you. When I was younger, I didn’t mind the idea of getting old ... but now I hate it. I can handle the problems .... but the depression that follows is a killer. Never had depression before.
It can be helpful to realize that the real *you* is Mind.
Body is just a kind of “car” that Mind uses to roam around in this 3-D space that we’re temporarily experiencing ;-)
I now know why old people walk bent over and shuffle along. Dang it, they hurt!
I am very sorry you have depression. There are some less medical, more natural things to do to help. Hope you find something that gives you even just a whiff of some joi de vivre. It changes one’s perspective.
I have to take hormones (bioidentical) and a new doctor has made a wonderful adjustment. I’m glad because my life is very stressful and my perspective on it makes it more bearable, you know?
