Depressed husband

Cid24

Hello, me again! My husband is very down , has been for about a year now. He’s under occupied , under stimulated , bored basically. Everything I suggest that he might like to do, he says no to.
Any suggestions for activities for 77 year old , very clever , man. ? He likes gardening and passionate about WW2

Is he on the net Cid24? There are many websites dealing with WW2.
Are you in the UK ? There are many shows going off at the moment all to do with WW2 in the UK. I was guest of honour at one last Sunday at one of the re-enactment shows because I was an evacuee after being bombed out twice during the London Blitz in 1940.

If I can help let me know and just in case you are wondering I am 93 years old and was 9 years old when the war started.
Best Wishes.

Could you encourage him to start a gardening business - cutting other people’s lawns, trimming hedges and weeding their gardens. It would give him a purpose.

Multivitamins and minerals, one a day. Even if it's only a placebo effect I feel better after a couple of days if I'm going through a 'bad' patch. I don't advocate for every day, just a boost every now and then.

Just off for blood test now!

Can someone tell me how to reply to individual posts please?
How do you do the copy and paste?

Just click on the word 'Quote' in the grey highlighted bar where the username appears if you want to respond to a particular poster. (as I have done here)

I do hope it all goes well. The trouble with depression is that the sufferer doesn't want to do anything and no matter how many brilliant ideas there are, your poor DH won't have the motivation to try any of them. Hopefully medication will be the first step and will break through the deepest part of the fog so that he can see the sun again and find in himself the desire to move forward. I wish yo both well.

Thank Lizbethann55 and Calipso

I can’t find a quote button or a grey bar…

Yes L 55 you are indeed right.
