I have always been preety much a loner and it never really bothered me until recently. sure it would be tough sometimes to connect to people because i am shy and dont know how to communicate with others. my wife is disabled and both kids are grown and living away. i had 2 knee surgeries and have back problems and started taking my wifes loratabs for about 8 months. i recently got food poisioning and quit taking them. thats been about a week and im completely depressed and dont know what to do. things that used to make me happy like watching football i just dont want to do. i sit and think about the kids when they were little and the things we used to do and it just makes it worse because all i do know is nothing. i tried to get out of the house yesterday and do some shopping but all i could think about was getting home and staring at the tv. im so depressed now i dont think i can make it. im so worried something is going to happen to my wife and i will be all alone forever because of my social problems. i work a job that has rotating shifts and its hard leaving my wife at night because of her health problems. i just sit and do nothing, im feeling like im not going to pull through this
