low grade depression
My depression is not as deep as what I know others are feeling. I had a consellor who labeled it low grade depression, a mild form of PTSD. I am recovering from radiation treatments for tongue cancer, finished a year ago, that was the trauma. At the same time dealing with retirement issues or maybe they are aging issues. I feek inadequate and incompetant around our home compared to my high functioning but loving wife. I also seem to have lost some of my zest for life and my sex drive.
I am hopefull that 7cups will heip me get my groove back.

Welcome to 7cups! I've found the mindfulness and self-help sections most helpful for my anxieties and in turn depression. I also hope your recovery has been working otherwise. <3
@kindCucumber4439 Hey there Kind! Sorry to hear about your tongue cancer , but im also glad that you have been cured. You can consider this new found life as a second chance at life, not many get through. And no matter what your counselor named yoru depression, the fact that it gets you feeling low matters! On 7cups, you can receive and offer great help and support from fellow members or the trained listeners. I think just the feeling of being heard, sometimes helps most of us. You can try by starting to talk with listeners and then move on to the https://www.7cups.com/traumatic-experience-help/ . You will be heard. You are not alone Kind :) Stay strong and take good care.
