thnx phillip for your reply and the link.
my therapist thinks that of all the stresses that caused my depression, the physical losses may be playing the biggest role.
as you know, having no sense of smell and a very low sense of taste is downright depressing in itself. i also had/have several other physical issues since my early 40's.
i was always very active and healthy. highschool and college football, marathons and triathalons after college, gym rat right-up to the day my brain switched.
now, 50 dealing with chronic asthma, replaced hip due to arthritis, i even got toe nail fungus somewhere during my depression!? (i think it was when i went for only pedicure in my life right after my hip was replaced, still it sucks. i hate looking at the fungus!) also, chronic nasal polyps. coming-up on a 3rd sinus surgery at some point.
anyway, yeah, middle-age is a biatch. add to that, that i have not worked-out in over 2 years. blows my mind. i have weighed the same since i was 18...until remeron...since stopping remeron i am back to my original weight w/no muscle. i actually have small 'man boobs' for the first time in my life. i look in the mirror (when i shower about once a week!) and say 'who is that middle-aged dude?!
