Your 65. That is not old. Please see a doctor about your depression as soon as possible.
I know your life has changed after developing emphysema. These things can be hard to adjust to and seeming impossible. It is true that doing for others will improve one's outlook, mood and actually improve one's condition.
You may not think there is anything you are able to do, but call around to organizations. There is something you can do from home, if you cannot get out. There are other people who need someone who cares and understands. Persons of all ages. Write to the boys and girls club and Big Brothers. Tell them that you want ot help and explain your condition, limitations and what you have to offer a kid. There just may be a child that is physically limited also and needs someone to talk to, play cards with, watch movies with...or perhaps you can tutor someone. Nursing homes are full of people who have no one and need someone to befriend them.
If you look hard enough, you may find something you can do using your computer or assemble things, write letters to soldiers,, a small church may need someone to prepare their bulletin, but are unable to pay a secretary.
You have to take matters into your own hands. Start the new year off with a purpose and don't get discouraged. You are alone only if you give up and let this condition dictate your life. Let friends and family help find a place or need that you can fill.
God wouldn't want you to give up. He just might help you find your way.

The fact that you're writing in here would indicate that you're not dead yet so life hasn't yet passed you by. You still have time to do something with it. Stop living in the past or the future. Start living in the moment. Start appreciating everything you have and everything that you've done. If you're not content with where you are in life, start making the choices that will get you where you want to be. If you're not sure where you want to be, start there. Think about what isn't working for you and start visualizing what you want. Keep that picture of what you want in your mind as you live your life every day, one day at a time. Before you know it, you'll catch up to "life" and find that it's been right there under your nose the whole time.

Move on with your life.
If you don't get out and enjoy life, live life and socialize then you will die alone and unremembered. If you want to sit at home feeling sorry for yourself, that's not going to get you anywhere in life.
You have to deal with the pain, confide in good loving and trusting friends/family as a support system and start your healing process.
You will find love again eventually.

there is love everywhere... if you open your eyes to it. Love can be visiting someone with no family in a nursing home, it can be adopting a pet from the animal shelter, it can be so many things on so many levels. If you have love to give, you will receive it as well. I know it is difficult in the situation (health wise) that you are in, I watch my dad go through the same feelings but life is what you make it - no matter your situation. You can still experience the greatest feeling of all - LOVE! Good luck to you, I hope 2008 is your very best ever!!!!! :)

You reap what you sow. To get love, you must give it. Volunteer at a soup kitchen, or a children's hospital, or a retirement home. There are so many people out there who would benefit from a smile or a kind word. Take a walk in your neighborhood & smile at the people you meet. Bake cookies & leave them on a sick or lonely neighbor's doorstep.
I started a new part-time job after I retired & I love it!
Good luck & happy new year!

No. Oh, please, don't over-dramatize. Life doesn't pass you by while you make other plans - you live the life you plan to live. So, if you don't like it, make other plans! And stop feeling sorry for yourself. Get out and help other people!
