I'm a wreck. 62, empty nest, married 38 years. I feel like I'm just waiting to die. Nothing interests me. I can't sleep and can't find any way out of this end-of-life rut. I'm lonely, but can barely get out of the house. I have a few good friends, but few social activities. I loved being a mom and my life revolved around my son and school activities. My husband bores me and seldom talks. TV is his life. I want more. I want to LIVE life, but how? I take Prozac for depression and anxiety. Not all that helpful. I hope to find people in this group to friend and converse with. Please someone help me.

I lived in SF for a few years. The cable cars did climb halfway to the stars. Message me if you want to talk.

Ask your doctor to try a different medication for your depression. Go to a senior center and take classes when you begin to feel better. Or volunteer somewhere. A hospital, animal shelter, USO, soup kitchen.

Great suggestions from Tired.. depression is just awful but try to make yourself get out of the house even if its a small walk, it seems to help me to feel better if I just take a ride or go to a park. Hoping you start to feel better soon.
