I worked as a mental health social worker for a big insurance company. I was assigned several mental health hospitals. When our members would discharge from mental health hospital we would assist them with getting their prescriptions, housing, follow-up appointments and rehab for many. It was a very stressful job because we were short staffed. I did not care for management but the overall job I liked. After I stopped working I found a community center that offered activities. I would drop my daughter at school and head there. They offered bingo, playing cards and ceramics class. There was also a indoor walking track. On Fridays I would go to another community center that offered quilting classes for free. A year later I moved out of state and I'm looking to find activities like before. The activities really helped my anxiety.
