These are depression and retirement links that I have found for you. As we all know, the internet is a big place so I hope I have targeted good articles to help -- I hope this makes it easier for you. It only takes one thought to "cha-ching" in your brain, that "Ah-Ha" moment, as Oprah calls it... and you get that moment when suddenly retirement issues make sense, and you can move into retirement a little happier.
This book from Amazon could greatly help you... A New Earth is about quieting the self-talk in your head to find peace. Negative self talk makes retirement and depression just that much worse.. and yet, it's probably just your brain going in circles with worry!
This book totally helped me, slow down my brain, use deep breathing-- and simply think more logically (instead of my normal hamster-on-a-wheel brain.. grin!) In my case, I found Retirement Peace!
Plus there are weekly lessons on Oprah.com on the same book.. folks worldwide tuned in to ask questions to find their own peace in life. It's a really great series...
For a few dollars, I really truly think you can find peace and contentment in your own retirement, like I did! Wendy
p.s. Click and see if Amazon has used books, I buy lots used and many are in brand-new condition! Some books I get for a penny -- and $3.99 postage/handling! Try it!
Retirement is a huge lifestyle change, but you CAN live a fulfilled life after retirement -- you simply need to figure out what you, as an individual, needs to be happy in retirement!
If you have a good link that would help folks through depression at this time in their lives, please send it to me using the "contact Wendy" link on the right bar.
Thanks!
