i suppose depression has no age range.senior citizen here. Without getting into too many details,i've pretty much lost all i held dear the past three years,including family members,best friends and finally the last loss that devastated me...my companion...my cat. Physically , i have problems that should be looked into,but i'm in a town with a low ratio of drs to patients and three to four hour waiting room stays are common,only to be shuffled off with little or no fixes except another pill...or tests i can't afford. Financially,i'm so-so..enough to survive ,not enough to do anything called fun...travel,social life,etc. Emotionally,i'm a wreck and because there's nobody left to confiden,i'm the only one who knows how deep i am in this depression. I'll ask forgiveness if i seem bitter,but i need to place a trust in someone...or something and thats hasnt been there within me for quiet a while .hard to do when,in trusting some people from the past ,i've only been financially and emotionally slapped around. only thing im sure of is that i have to try something ...therefore,here i am.......

You may not feel you have anyone left to talk to but in this reality...bless it!..you have so many people to reach out to and though who understanding WILL come for you and make you stronger. It seems to me from what you have said there are a number of situations that are causing your depression to shine though and the easiest option...trust me I am not mocking you, I completely understand you. As well as the stigma that comes with talking to professionals about how you feel.... its degrading and upsetting to have to go over and over what kills you inside....My name is Danielle and I am here to be your friend. My contact details are on my profile, If you need a friend to understand and share experience and to try to find alternatives to the life you are in now...day or night..when ever you need me.......I will be there............you email me ok

Out of curiosity, why did you say you were 30 on your profile and put a pic of a man about that age and a young boy you call your son? I am sorry if I sound misrustful. I am just wondering is all. I am very sorry for your situation.

If you need someone to be there who understands it all, stop looking around and look up. God promised that he would never leave you are forsake you. He is everything that you need him to be. Where ever are, whatever you are doing, stop and go somewhere and get alone with God. Ask him to come into your heart and save you. To forgive you of all your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Tell him that you believe that he sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for your sins. Tell him that you want to walk and talk with him daily. They say that if you have tried everything and everything has failed, try Jesus. And guess what, he is the best doctor in the universe and he waives his fee for his children. Give him a chance to prove himself to you now.

I am very much in the same position, it seems everything happened all at once in a matter of a few years, it leaves you mentally exhausted and I guess a little afraid, I have to stop myself from thinking too much, I have a small group of friends but I am not the type that feels comfortable intruding in their lives and for me there are a few things I can't talk to anyone about which makes it harder for me, but we must all try and think positive, and maybe even trick our selves in believing we are happy, I hope things work out for you, to be honest I come in here when I need a little company sometimes...

It really disturbs me that you are alone. I am currently caring for my mom who is amongst many physical disabilities, very depressed. Altho her physical problems are a concern, I have to say that her attitude and and outlook on life are more of a concern than anything for me. I go over to her place each day for several hours and listen to her and try to rationalize with her as well as care for her physical needs which are nothing in comparison to the emotional. I wish I could afford to buy her a computer. I think it would help her to talk to others like you who are very depressed. You came to a good place. There are many caring people here and I hope you will feel comfortable enough to open up.
