I'm so tired of life. There is nothing that I can do to help myself recover from depression. The things that are meaningful to me are no longer an option. I like to play musical instruments and actually am quite a good amateur. However, I developed a ringing in my left ear. Playing music aggravated it, so I had to stop playing music. I like to dance. I had to stop dancing because of arthritis and a torn meniscus in my right knee. I'm only 44 and never did sports. Those were two things that gave my life a lot of meaning. Gone. I don't socialize much because of my hearing loss. Many social groups go to bars and nightclubs. Bars are too noisy, and I can't drink alcohol. I don't like to go places where alcohol is served. Other social groups are centered around physical activity, which I can't do because of my knee. How can I recover from depression when the activities I need to do to get undepressed aren't an option for me?
