I suffer from depression and have for 14 years but my major problem is chronic fatigue?

I am 65 and retired after a lifetime teaching- I have tried many things including acupuncture,cognitive behaviour therapy, diet modification chinese medicine(herbs) supplements such as Korean ginseng- I try to keep my mind active by being involved in things- I help at a school on two half days per week and I teach computers to senior citizens and learn Bridge on another day. This has helped but on the other days I find it more difficult because if I try to read for example, I just fall asleep. I can't do a lot of gardening because I suffer with a very bad back. I go walking half an hour a day. What i'd like to do is get back to golf. I'm waiting for the cooler weather and back strngthening exercises I'm doing to work. I have prostate cancer and a heart problem but I don't worry about these - the cancer is not causing any problems at this popint in time.Any ideas to help withthe chronic fatigue.???? I checked out sleep apnoea- but that cause was ruled out. I am a christian and pray to God every day. This has helped me to keep going when I get rally down. I'm having the problem right now trying to keep focussed on what I'm doing.

You may have sleep apnea. Go to a sleep disorder testing place and get tested. You might be tired all the time because you aren't getting a good nights rest.
Start meeting and dating exiting people, You can still learn something.What is your goal in life?

You are on the right track of keeping busy, getting involved, helping others. You didn't mention church or prayer life. You must include this and surround yourself with Christian friends that will pray for you and be there for you. Golf is very bad for one's back, but hopefully your back-strengthening exercises will help. Good Luck and God Bless.
there could be many reasons for depression. You may have alot going on or feel like your not wanted, needed or loved. Yes depression can be cured but it's REALLY hard to do. It really depends on what stage you are in. IM or E-mail free_help2@yahoo.com & they can help
