   I agree, BiscuitTin - imagination is a positive. As for keeping track of the meds - might want to jot down the schedule and check off each dose when you take it just to make certain you have - it's much harder to figure out whether or not you have after the fact especially when you're depressed and thinking is foggy anyway.
As for dealing with lonely weekends - most people do better during the week when they have work and/or school - when their time is structured somewhat for them, so applying the same structuring to your weekends might be helpful - keep you from just drifting about - schedule your next weekend ahead of time so that you have something to look forward to - a particular movie you want to go see or rent, a visit to a museum or art gallery, attend a communtiy play, check out a book you are interested in at the library (you can rent movies and games at some libraries for free), try out a new recipe, learn how to sketch or paint - whatever it is you enjoy and are interested in doing use all that weekend open space to do things that feed your inner person - maybe weekends will become your favorite days. Hope this helps even a little.
