Declining Capacity. End of Writing perhaps.

I'm disgustingly old, 77 1/2, and while there have not been any diagnoses of Dementia or Alzheimer's, I'm tired, so tired. The Doctors such as they are think I have MS. For now, I plan to keep writing as a relief to my severe Depression, I do not plan to publish any more whether under Ahabidah, or Gwen Brown. I'm hoping that I die in my sleep rather than rot away in a care center. I was going to leave my email but that will expose me to scammers, so perhaps I'll just check the site for PMs, if there are any. Should anyone want to, I am sure the Admins can contact me.

I've struggled to become a best selling author but that dream was not to be. Dropping the microphone.

I don't think being a 'Best Selling Author' really is any sort of indication of being a great writer. If a style / plot / setting happens to capture the zeitgeist at the right moment then off it goes. If not...it doesn't.

medications?

I'm not qualified and despise those that are who diagnose with third hand information, but if you have the usual health problems of people our age I suspect your depression may be a drug side effect. Please find the energy to talk to your doctor about it.

NO drugs

My experience with drugs has been that they usually make matters worse. My MS doesn't respond to drugs, and my Arthritis is good with simple Tylenol (Paracetamol in England). My main complaint is vertigo that at times is awful. I seem to nap more than 10 hours a day.

Keep Going
