Mandy we all get old, and yes it can be hard.  But that is life.  We have to cope with it.  If we look after ourselves, there is no reason why we should not live happily into old age.

yes we have depression, and that does not help, but look at the things you have, not the things you don't have.  Good health is the most important thing as we grow older.  We have to look after our own bodies.  It is up to us how we treat them.  We only get one.

There are times when we think we cannot go on.  I know this only too well.  Many times I truly believed I'd had enough.  But strength came from somewhere.  Now I take supplements to help my body.  I don't believe everything goes wrong for you, you just think that because you are "low."

Life can stink at times yes, but try and help yourself, and eat properly.  Do things you enjoy.  Don't look on old age as a death sentence.  Many older people live active healthy lives.  Of course parts of us wear out, and we slow down.  It is inevitable.  We can't go back, only forward.  Depression takes away so much from us.  It stops enjoying life.  So you must tell that depression you have had enough of it spoiling your life, kick it, hit it, and tell it you want nothing to do with it.  Find that inner strength.

Everyone has problems.  We just have to deal with them as best we can.  You are not alone.  Try and think a bit more positively.  You were given this life, and it is up to you to look after that dear body of yours.

How is thge Effexor doing?  Are you feeling it is helping now you are taking a higher dose?

Remember we all care about each other.  I too am getting old, and yes, bits of me are failing, but I am managing.  You too must try and embrace life as best you can, it is the only one you get.

Take care.

I am so very glad.  Responding to you helps me too.  I think that the increased dose of Effexor will help you.  Just increasing my Effexor one time in the past when I was severely depressed, helped me tremendously.  You're a sweetie too.
Your friend, Sara
