Hi,

I just moved into a supportive living facility for the blind. I did this in part to give myself the structure I feel I need to have a healthy life. When at college I had such a hard time getting to meals and getting things done, I'd just want to sleep or do nothing. This would happen especially when I was overwhelmed or stressed.
So now I'm here where there are very kind staff around if needed, and lots of activitys and outings and things to do. I met with my "care advocate" who happened to be the activitys director, who kept emphasizing that the activities and things for me to do are there I just need to get myself to go to them. Like go for walks, get to meals ETC.
Anyone else have a problem doing these things. I often feel like it's so hard to drag myself out of bed in the morning. Sleeping is just so much easier.
