So, What Do You Think?

I am going to be 65 in November. I have arthritis in one hip and sometimes finger joints hurt. I am over weight but did lose 23 pounds this last year without putting forth any effort. I believe in moderation in all things but, do enjoy junk food and don't eat very healthy. I was diagnosed in the early 2000's with severe depression with panic attacks, have had derpression in some form ever since I was a teen. Back in 1980 I had a hysterectomy due to tumors on my ovaries. Had my galbladder out in the early 90's. Seems like about every ten years I am up for something. Oh, and I have cancer on both sides of the family and, I think my paternal grandmother may have had Alzheimer's. She didn't know me when I went to visit her when I was less than 10. Both paternal granparents died rather early where my maternal ones lived to be in their late 80's. My maternal great grandmother lived to be about 94. Have social anxiety and so I don't go out. Have bad teeth because I was never taught to take care of them when I was young. Have lost all but about 12 of them now. Have an appointment in October to have them examined and see about dentures. I am on three medications right now. First is Mirtazapine which is a generic brand/form of Remeron and is a antidepressant which helps with my anxiety. I have been on it since the early 2000's or sooner and take a 45 mg. tablet which is the highest amount. I had a DNA testing done to see if there were other antidepressants that might help me. I have taken everything on the market over the years. Nothing helps or I have to quit because of sensitivity to side effects. I have heard of two new depression techniques but my Medicare doesn't pay for such things. One which is pretty severe and wouldn't want to have it done. Then I take a 75 mg. tablet of Levothyroxine Sodium which I started taking in 2015 for thyroid deficiency. I started taking Pravastatin in 2016 to help lower my cholesterol. I think that for my age(64) and the amount of crap that I eat I am doing pretty well. I don't exercise and I take a vitamin d tablet too because I don't get outside and get no sunlight. So what do you think?
