Changes and depression in 2011

This year there will have to be changes in my life.  These are the things that make me depressed on top of my menopause.  I haven't had a period for three months, get hot flashes, night sweats and am moody.  I don't have a job.  I get my resumes out, get the interview but do not get a concrete job offer.  I am 55 years of age so that could work against me.  My brother Don encourages me saying he knows people in their 60s that still get work.  I am looking for a receptionist job so maybe I have to do something else.  I don't know what as I have been a receptionist for all of my working career.  If I don't get a job soon, I will have to think of where else to live and might possibly have to sell the apartment.  The apartment is another story.  I have life interest in the apartment.  If I sell I get the first $65000 plus 1/3 of what is left between Smokey's 2 girls and me.  Smokey died without a will.  I don't recommend it. The Government takes control when a person dies with no will.  The Government has their own rules and regulations about a person dying without a will.  People I know say get it into your own name as I was his common-in-law wife for ten years.  This will take a lawyer and I have no money.  I bet I might have to sell before I ever see a lawyer about getting the apartment in my name.  This all sucks.  These are the reasons why I am having a most difficult time sleeping through the night like I used to before all these difficulties.  All the best from Diane B.
