New, Stuck and Don't Know Which Way To Go
I have been dealing with depression and grief for 4 years.
Grief from the loss of a family member as well as my health and the depression because idk what to do about either. I talk, I read, I exercise and I can, I have a couple hobbies, BUT I can't seem to find happiness and joy again. What now.

First of all, let me say that we are really glad that you found this community. Studies on aging have shown that one of the most important things for health and happiness is human connection. This site is a fantastic way to connect to people around the world. Either as a member chatting with a listener, joining in chatrooms here or posting to our forums, there are so many ways to connect.
I also wanted to share a great resource here regarding grief:

Again, this is a great option to learn more about coping with grief and also connecting with others going through it as well.
We also have some incredible resources for depression as well.
Don't give up...you are doing lots of good work and we are here for you and with you ❤️
