I'm really down. I've been sleeping so much lately, purely for escape. I turn away from everything possible. Once in a while is okay but the past few months its become a pattern. I may have one of two up days followed by several days or weeks where I don't want to face anything except the things I absolutely have to attend to. Things should be looking pretty good. I've got the groin/testicular pains and a few dental issues but nothing unmanageable. I made it through the SSDI ordeal tho yet to see anything from it other than Medicare which I don't have a clue about using anyway. I have a very small business and professional tools that I've acquired through very creative and judicious dealing. Buying something cheap, using it for a while and then selling it and buying something better. With a little luck and marketing I could possibly become independent and self supporting or at least make the maximum allowable income under SSDI guidelines. I seem to draw people to me w/o even trying. I have an intelligent, beautiful gf. I still have a fair amount of synapses firing (usually) at a respectable rate despite... well, many things. I've managed to trap, fix, and feed more cats than is good for me. I do good deeds despite being somewhat of a rake.
I should be happy. But there is this huge empty space and a desire to turn away from everything. Music was the great love and dream of my life as sme of you know. When I lost that, cars helped fill the space somewhat. Now there's nothing there. And I don't know why I'm even posting this because I am a very private person and don't normally look for outside help and I know this thread is going to be pointless.

You are not pointless, George H.

Sure, a person not suffering from depression might be happy with all you've described. Depression, however -- and you already know this too well -- doesn't care what you've got going for you.

Best wishes for success (whether or not it can affect your mood) and for lighter moods!

Hang in there, you are not alone. Lots of hugs your way.
