Is it normal to just want to sleep all the time?

24. As the Buddhists say, this too will pass.

It is ok to feel the way you feel, don't beat yourself up thinking about the past and worrying about the future, the past and future aren't real. The only thing that is real is the present moment, there is nothing you can't handle in the present moment.

I used to constantly think about negative things that happened to me in the past many years ago and then I read a book, The Power of Now by Ekhart Tolle. His book turned my life around. Now, even little things I turn into positives. I don't wait in line at the grocery store, I enjoy the moment, even let people ahead of me in line, giving is a very good antidote for what ails me. If someone pulls in front of me in traffic I just smile, I am not going to make myself angry over something someone else does. The book is a short book, give it a try.

Finally, 70 today is not old, I am 74 and still play golf and not from the senior tees. I play golf with someone who is 90 years old and he is good, he even beats me quite often.

Don't listen to the thoughts that are in your head, your thoughts aren't who you are, you are the person who listens to your thoughts. It's in the book, give it a try, it was the best cure for my depression.
