Sally, certainly agree with Blessings that your daughter's cutting you off is more than enough to trigger depression. A kind of depression that drugs may not help?
I have had experience with Prozac, the worst experience of all the years doctors tried to get me onto anti-depressants (all failed). Now listen to this, though: Prozac is supposed to be "safe" for people with Porphyria like me, one of the few AD's which are. But it is not safe for me! I was a ball of spasticity with sweat running off my hands and my teeth clenched for a few hours, until the pill wore off. Not a pretty picture.
I wish so much you and I an all of us who are sad and lonely could go somewhere and have some relaxed fun.
For me, the huge depressing worry is what I'm going to do with the fires burning north and south of me, if they come back here with the smoke which put me into a big crisis. No smoke now, but it's a long summer ahead, and no escape route in sight.

Sally I am with you in feeling very low. Prayers for you and me and all who are at this level. I think it's lots of us. The "world" is now falling apart, if you have not noticed, and that does NOT help, however much we may say we are ignoring it. I turned off my TV set nearly a month ago--no more conflicting managed news--but I still hear about the "world" on line and I know it's not all hype.
