this is my first post and first blog

I am 50, and currently struggling with depression. I feel isolated and am trying to find a way out of this.
I dont like taking anti-depressants
where I live, there are not many things to do e.g courses/groups
and the things I used to like doing e.g reading/cinema etc I cant either get out of the house (feel too low) or cant concentrate enough
Is anyone out there who suffers from depression?
who can help?
or share how they feel with me?
perhaps we could become cyber friends?
