Hiall.This is my first time on here. I have had depression for a few years. I am 65 and am going through a bad time in my life. I feel like just giving up on everything. I dont know what is wrong with me.I just want to shut off the whole world. I dont know what to do

Scotty, I can understand where you are comming from, as a 67yo i have a sufferer since 1989, I is a bit easier but it is still a challenge. Don't give up, I tried everything I could think of but nothing works. One can only hope that the way you are now is the peak of your suffering, the next corner could be a good one where something or someone will start your way back. I still get those times when nothing is important but as soon as it comes it is gone until the next time. Take your time, use this ACE forum, you will get some top answer and or engouragement but never judged.
