Why did you make this about yourself? Your situation is very differnt than mine. You have not had the depression that I have had and those things you mention that are what life is all about is not what I want my life to be about. So you are no understanding me at all.
I do have to prove my worth with a job maybe you didn't. You accepted your depression and accepted that you are now retired, I have not and will not accept this.
I just want to have a normal life where I can relate to others and this is not the case. I am isolated, have no husband, unlike you, and can't rely on volunteering for my self esteem. I hate every minute I volunteer so again we differ greatly with that. I find it demeaning when I should be able to work and be productive to some degree, just becasue I should be able to work and you were probably able to as well.
So, those are the differences between us at a minumum.
