Does your mental health team know of a day centre that you can visit to help structure your days better? The focus would be more supportive than therapeutic i should think. We have that in the UK but i'm not sure where you are so i can only suggest looking for an equivalent. I find trying to be helpful here and being an active part of this community (even if it's only online) makes me feel better. I hope you find something that helps you feel more fulfilled.
I am also in the UK, but in my area there's only a drop in for one morning a week - you pay £2 to cover the cost of tea or coffee and the hire of the hall and occasionally they have quizzes or something creative. I've just started going, but I feel that its not nearly enough.

Sometimes at the weekends I don't see anyone, so this weekend on Sunday I thought I might go to a Unitarian church service to see what its like.
