I've had my moments certainly, but have always found the antidote is being active , seeking out things that nourish your mind , mingling, and doing for others.

Can't change the aging part - we all do it. Walking helps counter, as does a good yoga class !
Hang in !

Can't do one single thing about aging. And it is a given that you will be depressed from time to time. This is a youth oriented society. I don't think going to one specialist after another will do any good. If they "cure" you, they will lose a customer and they won't want that. You may need one good therapist who is good with older people. He, or she, will more than likely recommend that you "get involved" in something that interests you OR volunteer with a not-for-profit organization since you don't have money problems and have the time to do so. Then, if you life near a coastline, go take walks along the beach. There are hundreds of people walking along looking for the same thing you are. There is no real solution to growing older. But there are for "massive depression," including medication and shock treament for depression. It works!

You seem to be in the very same boat as I am. Lonely. I am 77, lost my wife 5 years ago. I have a daughter and grand kids and see them twice a week but it does not remedy the loneliness. I guess it's partly my fault. When we lived in Colorado I've had many friends from all walks of life. Since we've moved to Arizona, I've never seriously bothered to make new friends. Now it has come to haunt me. I know it is a shame to waste what's left of life in this predicament. We humans are social creatures. We enjoy communicating with each other, yet sometimes we create a situation we can't seem to get out of.
I would welcome any sort of communication, on any topic. If you feel up to it, I would enjoy hearing from you.

Don't be lonely here,Their are a whole lot of really good people here. Join in.

I just joined and it is refreshing to see you use the word 'loneliness'. I have been in denial since I retired early - thinking I could become a Maker - art and sewing....I came to a screeching halt! No confidence. I'm working on it, hoping this group might be a good place to start. Tried a motivational therapist...she has too many patients, what does that tell you. We boomer are a messed up lot.

You are good looking and seem honest. No reason to be pessimistic about making friends. Good luck!

TMG(tri-methyl-glycine) has worked for depression for me. Check it out, but don't ask an MD; most of them are clueless about natural remedies.
