I hope and pray this does work out for you. Meanwhile keeping the mind busy doing things will take it away from feeling lonely and sad. I live in Northern Ireland. Take care. Have a really great week. God bless and best wishes from your friend Francis

Thank you for the kind words.
Unfortunately depression kills motivation and drastically increases that horrid "I-don't-want-to-do-anything" feeling. This is why I took a short break from volunteering as a gardener because I felt like I was wasting my time and I was starting to dislike it.
I may pop to MIND in the next week or so. Church groups and such aren't my thing and are not really going to attract people of my age group. Most people my age are working or studying, and those who do have problems are hidden away themselves.
I'm insanely bored but nothing interests me. I try reading or playing a game on the PC or my phone here and I can only tolerate it for 20 minutes at the most. Primary example of one of the many effects of depression.
Humans really are useless beings with very little self control, technically speaking. The strongest person, given the circumstances, can quite easily be influenced by chemical and brain composition to turn into a complete mess. We're never truly in control... That's a spooky prospect isn't it?
