Used to be young sick and alone - that was easier because the recovery was fast. The immune system ain’t what it used to be and just getting up is a challenge.... it’s another one of life’s long list of roadblocks.... whoa!!!!!

Hi Macd. Sorry your are old, sick, and alone.

What illness do you have (if you don't my asking)? I suffer from chronic depression.

I'm so sorry, Macd123 Is there anything we can do to help you? Please don't give up. Life can be enjoyed even when we feel "old". I think it's mostly a matter of our state of mind. So don't think you're too old to do something! Do you have any hobbies? What do you like to do in your free time? Perhaps you could start from there. Feel free to PM me anytime. Let me know if I can do something to help you. Sending many hugs to you

Thanks everybody - whatever this is it’s knocking the crap out of me.... I really don’t feel like doing anything and it’s scary because before when I was sick I could get up and get around. The Doctor said it was “the crud” - I thought he was kidding but that’s actually a virus that goes around. Don’t get it - I coughed for three days and didn’t sleep which explains my mood. Problem is I have bills to pay and laundry and grocery shopping and on and on... like I said I used to be able to do this stuff when I was sick - I’m really down for the count on this one.... I do believe age is contributing..... thanks I have to lay down now....

It’s temporary - I got the flu but it’s really keeping me down - sorry I didn’t mean to sound terminal I’m just tired of dealing with illness alone. Would be nice to have someone who could cook or shop or whatever. Sounds selfish but other people rely on someone else. Sick and alone sucks....
