Depressed with my situation, later 50s

Ps , sorry l couldn't find a way to edit that post to add this but anyway.

lt's the depression also too that's also really worrying me. lt's just no way to live and feel that is for sure and l'm truly sorry for others going through it.

Thank you for sharing @mrmista . Sounds so hard.

It sounds like things are pretty miserable out there.

What about looking at a retirement village or something? At least there's other people around.

There's nothing like connection, especially when one gets older.

I hear you.

Mate @mrmista I’m on antidepressants. It stops me from turning into Amos Burton - character from The Expanse tv show.

Anywho. You know there is a ton of people who want somewhere to put their Tiny House. There’s also a ton of homeless women who want a room to rent. I’m one.

I’d be grateful for a shed to live in. I just want to do my woodwork and survive.

If you have enough land, you could bring a village to you.

Thx for that but oh God no couldn't stand one, add another 15yrs eh, well, maybe not even then.

But l hear you too on connection and it is a huge thing about being out here, locals seem content but ldk, l just find it so alone. Can't explain really sorry.

Glisten , thku so much for the thoughts and reply. l'm really glad you've found meds to help to and l hope your ok.

Believe me l'm more aware than most about the insaness of the housing crisis and it breaks my heart every time l see or hear anything, it's criminal in a country like ours.

l was actually a bit worried about posting my problem here bc of it actually and didn't wanna upset anyone.

l've thought about your ideas to actually , it'd help me and help someone else.

l love your woodwork btw , sounds very cool. l wonder can we email people here, l'd love to talk more.

Big hug to you

mr

@mrmista No mate you can’t email members of the Forum because of anonymity.

I have to say you’re in a good position to create change.

I property sit to keep a roof over my head. Do landscaping and land rehab.

If you have land and you treat it with care and respect. You can create a world for yourself.

That's a real shame but understandable too l know .

But yeah , the last bloke renting it trashed it all and left rubbish all through the block too l'm still finding things through the soil all over the place after 6mths. The soil and land is sacred to me just can't understand people treating it like that but thk God it's almost back to it's old self. He also butchered a lot of the trees l'd planted over the yrs, it's just beyond me.

And true yeah , that's the option l've been thinking about , there's so much l could do with the place, Ex w and l moved a lot and then later broke up so l never have finished a property so yeah, option 1 , for once, l could finish this one

Lifes been so full on over the yrs, so much , so, the thought of starting again somewhere else now literally makes me feel sick to the stomach and l couldn't afford it anyway.

But l don't know if the satisfaction of doing this place would compensate the other parts l really struggle with out here. l mean maybe it helps all that and things get better, ldk , fall into shape and the depression leaves me, dk that either,

lt's just that as l say if it didn't what finances and enthusiasm there are would be blown bc of all my moves in the past, so if l couldn't sell it later - ldk what.

lt's hard to explain butttt, yeah.

Thx for your thoughts though , really appreciated and l hope with all both our situations untangle eh.

l'd love to help someone that needed a place and there's a spot would be really nice for a caravan separately , l've got a van here. l dunno , spose you could call it some sort of sharing thing or something.

Maybe an ad on fb ldk right person could work out really well and might help the isolation l feel and them too.

Def gonna give that one some thought and thx for that.

How are you feeling today @mrmista ?

Thx for asking ty. @tyme

Same old afraid to say. Hbu , how are you doing ?
