Now I know you're not 76 years old! Ha, ha!
As for the depression, I've been battling it since my early teens. I didn't really get a handle on it until my 30's, but I still have to fight it sometimes. I've had anxiety for years too, but it seems to have increased as I've gotten older.
As for the missing years, I do feel like I missed out on a normal life during my teens and 20's. I'm the only one I know my age with no significant other or kids, or even many friends for that matter. I've just kind of... drifted through life. At least, that's how it feels. But I know I can't dwell on it, I have to move on. Life will move on whether I want it to or not, so I might as well make the best of it. So that's what I try to do. But that doesn't mean I don't have regrets.
