Depression?

[CapricornFarm]

Yeah, loss is hard for anyone. When my Dad died, i cried more than Mom. Still not over it.

Last few nights I've just cried myself to sleep... And I can never find a reason to why I am crying right then.

It's normal to cry when you are dealing with a loss. It's actually good for you, it releases stress hormones. Feeling bad because something has happened is a part of life. Sorry about your uncle. Your family's had to deal with a lot of loss recently.

I am 70 now. Have been depressed most of my life but didn't know it.

People don't WILL themselves to be depressed anymore than people choose to be diabetic, or have thyroid trouble.

RIReds, great thread, and to all.

I have finally found the courage to talk to mom about everything I've been going thru!

I didn't think it would help much but just being able to say everything I've been dealing with out loud really helped.

When will life be normal? I don't know but what I do know is I can find peace where I am at... I am so thankful for my family and all you that have been such a encouragement!

I have found a new favorite sport of mine, biking.... So much fun, also me and my sister have decided to do Irish dancing... So that should be fun.

Yay! Good for you, I'm glad you have a sounding board now. It does help.

I am so glad you had a talk with your mom. Biking any kind of exercise is supposed to release endorphins, hormones that make you feel better. Irish dancing with your sister sounds like a lot of fun.

Yes, you might get really good at it like Sharon*

I am too!

Just sadly I feel like my world has come to a stop.... Grandpa fell to night and I am shocked, he thinks he may have a couple broken ribs, hurt his rist pretty bad, etc.... Deep down inside I will be amazed if he ever really recovers from this fall...

Getting old is a really painful process. But he may endure. No harm in hoping. Hugs to both of you.

I know it's hard not to, but try not to anticipate the worst. I hope your granddad will be fine.
