Hi Jill and welcome . Please don’t just ‘mention it’ to your doctor, please book a double appointment and give yourself time to really talk over everything. Has anyone ever mentioned doing a mood diary? That might be worth doing and showing to your doctor. (And it’s always important to have regular med reviews anyway.)

In my town, we have an organisation that other charity’s use as a central resource for finding people who want to volunteer, and the organisation also lists all available voluntary roles available in the area. Perhaps there’s something similar in your area ? I’d recommend voluntary work to anyone - and there’s roles for everyone
