How Can Severe Depression And Loneliness In An Obese Patient With Atrial Fibrillation Be Treated?

I am feeling so unhappy with my life. I am 75 yrs, handicap in my walking, and very much alone. The problem is that I would like to move more. I sit and sit-feeling over welled with things and don t do any thing. I have 2 caregivers who come for 4 hrs on Mon & Fri and they just don t see my situation. I feel very alone and on my own- I know I need exercise! And just. Can t get going!? I know it s up to me-but I have other Medical problems,such as Lymphedema, AFib, Obese, use a walker for my knees, yet I feel like I m going to die soon and no one would care. Thanks for listening
