Thank you for sharing. It is human to care. Depression does create very high levels of shame over things out of your control. Remember that is Depression's lies. You are only responsible for what you can control. No shame in seeking help for what is beyond your control. My Faith helps me greatly there. It gives me Hope and Peace, when the storms of Depression feel unbearable. As such, you are in my prayers. I hope that doesn't offend. My apologies, if so. Thank you and God Bless.

Thank you. For me its hard. I am without a car lost license for undisclosed amount of time and I am stuck. I feel like an anchor for anyone who offers help to me.

Hi Cheese,
You seem to be in the same condition as last week. Have you tried getting help, especially from your grown kids? Just as you mentioned that they are nice, good parents, I believe they will be the ones who can help you most if you are nearby. And as I suggested last week, please don’t be too shy in going to people from churches who might be able to help you. Its ironic, but your fear of not finding a job might eventually keep you from getting a job.

So again, Cheese, please be a bit more confident and get help from your kids, churches or any government agency. It takes one courageous step to get to the next one. Can you manage to ask a neighbor to give you a ride to a church or government agency? My old mother sought help in a church and someone volunteered to give her a ride. When you find someone who can drive you, ask them to help you go to an agency that helps people in need. Most churches know where you should go. Then maybe hey can even get in touch with your kids. You need to ask, Cheese, and the sooner you do it, the better, so that your problems can be solved one by one.

I hope that you can give us better news next time.

Hello. Thank you. I have a big fear of not finding a job. I am in contact with my kids, I just don't tell them about my troubles. I honestly don't know what to do about anything. The suggestions folks offer are wonderful but of course if they are things that someone has never done or thought of doing they usually wont do them. I feel very alone and trapped and nervous and I hate it. Everyone here has been very helpful to me and I am very grateful. I hope to keep hearing from folks here. I am glad to help anyone here that could use anything. I'm not smart enough to figure out how I got to where I am, but I am sure it is just due to being weak and small. I cant take it much longer. Thank you all very much.
Thank you all very much.
