Been having mostly good days but the occasional bad one also. I'm on the fence about wanting a relationship, partly because of my own insecurity. I just turned 65 which has messed with my head but I can easily pass for 10 years younger (or so I've been told). But because of my depression issues and my mastectomy in 2011, I feel like nobody will ever want me. Even though I had reconstruction, my fake boobs are cold to the touch and my nipples & areolas are tattooed on. How many men want to be with a woman with a history of depression and cancer?
And then it seems guys in my age group look so very old but what younger guy is going to want me? I'm still seeing the psychiatrist for the meds and a new therapist. My previous therapist was a man and I just didn't feel comfortable talking to him about certain things so I'm now seeing a woman who I do like.
Well, not much has changed since my last post. Just feeling really down in the dumps. Turning 65 really made me feel old. I miss my mom who passed last June. My husband died in 2010 so I have nobody who loves me the way a parent or spouse does. Sure I have adult kids but they do their own thing which I'm fine with. I find I hide my depression so the family doesn't think I am considering suicide again.
I felt quite a bit better after seeing my therapist. It's not like she imparted any great wisdom; I think it's more getting to talk to someone about how I'm feeling.

so true, and it need not be a professional, I need human interaction to keep me on the level
Great news: depression is a choice. I got a tongue-lashing by a friend who informed me of this.
Hahahahahaha! Yeah, right? As if anyone would choose this.
