Thanks Travelinglady. Yes, am working on disability, with help from my wife.
Regarding hobbies, they require a sufficient amount of free time. I may have mentioned that I have 3 kids. So any free time I have is sucked up by chasing after them. I know I'm "supposed to be" happy to have 3 "beautiful kids" and all that. But all I feel is frustrated and trapped. Unfortunately I know that, given my precarious mental condition, I cannot be by myself, and that I need someone to watch over me.

In a sense, yes. My wife and I had an extremely acrimonious separation. While I enjoyed the freedom, it was mentally (and financially) draining to be at war with the entire world 24/7. But right now, I have no job, I am bored in my marriage, and I feel trapped because as much as I want to be out on my own, I cannot do it under the current circumstances. Feel like Sisyphus, pushing the boulder up the hill.
Ech.
