How do I stop from getting depressed?

smile when you dont feel like it, it will train your brain to be happy

Wow , at may age of 51 , that sounds like a dream job .

Well , if they don't care , what you do , you could use the time , to study for School , and better yourself .

If you are interesting at Writing , you could use the time to try to write a Novel .

It's not a good time , to look for new Work , few people have good jobs .

Writing about Characters and people , ( by doing a novel ) you can create Characters that seem real .

I have played with writing a few books , and the Characters you create , seem like real people .

This would also , make you not feel as lonely and disconnected from people .

One of the most important things we need as humans , is a purpose and to be Valued .

Also , to Connect with People .

So of course , you are depressed , because you don't feel valued , have no purpose , and are not Connecting with people .

So , give yourself a purpose , take a online Class or go to night School or write a book .

If they will not give you a purpose , create one for yourself .

You have time , to think , use that time to create a give birth to something , as in a direction for your life , or School or write a book .

Then , be sure you life outside of work , you have friends and family involvement .

This will fill the void , that work is not giving you .

I think maybe you should find some brain teasers or something lik that to challenge you and keep your brain in work :]

i just daydream. pretend like nothing ever happened. but depression is a normal part of life. you cant always hide from it. face it, and tackle it down. dont let it alll get to you.

you cant its a chemical imbalance.
