Reading and watching things: Even if you never loved reading as a child or can’t enjoy it now, if you’re serious about doing something for your situation, throw yourself into reading. For the record, I’m not talking about self-help books or those that help you re-build your life. I’m talking fiction, fantasy, science fiction, crazy creative things that excite your mind again or inspire you on their own. That could be biographies, memoirs, children’s books. They could spur a new passion within you. Watch stuff, like documentaries that have caused controversies and people to get up in the streets (like that new one on Netflix, Making a Murderer). Many people find themselves caught up in causes and interesting situations because of what they have watched and read. They have dedicated their lives to that one thing after seeing something that inspired them. Maybe yours is waiting for you.

I’m 63, I live alone, never been married, had children. I was my mother’s carer for a (dreadful) period, resulting in a nervous breakdown about 20 years ago. I tried to rebuild my life, and largely succeeded, only for it all to go pear-shaped again in my 50’s when I was made redundant from a good job, and was unable to get another.

Zypher69- I can relate to you. Although you have a very good background in comparison to mine (dropped out of college, did hardcore drugs until I was 23). I'm bisexual and depressed. I know that recurrent life-long depression is something that constantly lingers. I'd say give meds a try, but that's such a bandaid to cover a third-degree burn.

I find that the best way to get out of a deep funk of depression is to communicate with others you respect even if the conversation may seem ridiculous.

Hello Zypher. Seems like you are going through a tough time in your own mind, i can respect that when you feel this bad in can ruin your perspective on things, hence make you not interested in wanting to work.

Thanks for letting us know how it's going for you. As for the new job you applied for, a few suggestions for you to push yourself foreward regarding the job. I presume this may be a management or similar type of job. One of the most effective things you do is send a handwritten thank you note for the interview.

Confusion

Hello Zypher, how are you today? you seemed to be quite happy last time, i hope that has continued!

Welcome, Z. Ha ha, no, of course we don't think you are depressed because you are gay! You are in a tough spot waiting for a job to come thru. NOthing but an offer IS an offer. I have been where you are many times, hearing all kinds of things that got my hopes up, but it was all hot air. When an offer came, I went.
