A few years ago I was diagnosed by my regular doctor of depression and was given a prescription. Taking the prescriptions did not work out well for me; so I ended up off of them. I feel better without them than I did with the medications. I still feel depressed and lately it has come back to me.

I think about the past in my life as the good 'ole days. It just seemed like life was better back in the past. I feel that way a lot lately because, of recent times, I've been diagnosed with an illness. Right now I feel just great physically, but I'm told that I have to do something about my illness.

Six years ago I was diagnosed with depression. But some months later I got panic attacks; and they lasted a few months. It was horrible. I got over it but time went on and the panic attacks came back. But also, depression and anxiety has come my way.

Two years ago I had minor surgery. It went OK for what had to be done but I got infections that appeared to be serious. I got over that. But now just recently I got diagnosed with an illness and I face having to do something about it.

I think about the good 'ole days a lot because before six years ago I never had any health issues. Yes I had some depression and anxiety, but not as bad as now. I find myself listening to music of the past and that cheers me up. But it cheers me up because I think about how much happier I was back then than now. I listen to some music of today, or new music, and it's not the same.

I wonder if anyone else goes through this. I know that I rambled on a bit.
