Take care of yourself physically and mentally and you wouldn't look like a typical old person who is dragging their feet, rolling in a scooter, and taking 2 dozen meds a day.

I probably wouldn't be if I didn't get married but I don't think I could do that to her. Now if she ever leaves me then all bets are off. I wouldn't be missed much at that point.

Sounds like you should seek some help, honestly.

Not in the slight bit true. It is always time to get help if needed.

Even a normal person can only change so much.

Most of my problems now are caused by brain damage and the drugs I have to take because of said damage. Nothing can change that. The damage will only increase as time goes on (I have a degenerative neurological disorder) and I just don't see me wanting to see how that all plays out. Statistically people with what I probably* have are more likely to kill themselves and I just googled now that a good chunk of the people dr kevorkian assisted had what I probably* have.

*i say probably because technically the disease isn't far enough along yet to make a diagnosis

Having said that I may or may not ask about going on an anti depressant at my next neuro appt depending on my mood at the time.

If it's still early and a subtype hasn't been established you still have a fair way to go before giving up. I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks. I wouldn't say I've given up or am quite as bad off as I'm sure my posts make me seem. They are honest but they are not backed by any emotion.
