No clue what I would do.
@A MyDepressionTeam Member I would also like to travel to places like Hungary the birthplace of my dad's Dad

Being a part of something is life giving, talents, gifts, passions.... Actually the best thing to help you feel good is to help others who need it...
I'm 6 months into not working full-time after 37 years of working without a break. I am currently being told that I can't work and luckily I got accepted for SSDI last month. I am supposed to be recovering and taking care of myself. I was hospitalized for depression less than three months ago. I am also a cardiac patient.
