Just thought i'd wish you well for your trip this weekend and i'm sure all us 'not-so-old timers' concur. Do you think you have dysthymia mac. I'm sure i do. Do you find enjoyment in anything. When you have it and are older it's easy to isolate and spend days not seeing anyone,eating rubbish, watching rubbish tv and sleeping badly. OMG daytime tv is enough to send you to an early grave. On the occasional days when i don't go out i find it easy to become a couch potato. I don't know if it's the same in america but the daytime adverts. Mein Gott!!!! stair lifts , funeral plans,life assurance, meal delivery, bath aids etc etc. All done in a very patronising way and soooo depressing.
Anyway have a good time and tell us about it when you come back.
