Have you checked here? I think there may be a senior subgroup or two here. I don't know if they're specifically depression focused but I think they cover that.

Thats a good idea. I could try it. I have been googling for online senior citizens depression forums or chat groups. None seem to exist. I am not positive how to look for a "subgroup". But I think I can figure it out. thanks again, arcangel. ( like your username, btw. I feel very close to a specific archangel)

There are lots of nooks and crannies here so good luck with that. If you don't find one here....maybe you can start one.

A few times through the years I have looked for senior support groups and never could find one.. I have lived with depression for many years also.. I turn 65 next month and it would be really nice to have people around my age to talk with.. yes really nice, I get so lonesome sometimes..

Hi SunsetSunrise, I just went and checked out over 200 groups, and found none particularly for seniors, which makes me sad also, as I can give, and receive, senior advise too. I'm justrosie!
