I'm on disability, too. I got it at a relativley young age. I might not be on disability if I"d been treated better by the "experts" I dealt with in years past. Oh well...

I'm a Christian. I'm not saying that to force my beliefs on you, just...it changes one's persepctive. I see being on disability, being able to pursue stability and -do- things with my life, now, as huge blessings from God Himself. I certainly needed a miracle.

Can you do volunteer work? Everybody recommends it, its kind of...cliche, I guess...but it can "help," by getting one out of the house and pouring into projects that matter to you.

Writing is my current outlet. Not a very social activity, lol, but it suits me. Have you considered taking up painting, ceramics, writing, poetry? My dad makes furniture now and then, and that seems to provide an outlet for him. My aunt took up pottery in her retirement years, and now they're showing her art in places around her city.

Sorry about this. I really am. I'm thankful that you've been able to have a full, meaningful life. I"m also thankful that you're receiving benefits.

Stay at home parenting seems like it could be frustrating, especially for men. I think what you've done (and are doing, of course) is admirable, but I imagine that's not the impression you get from a lot of other people. :-(

Politics might be fun. Resist Trump, support Trump, volunteer for the Democrats, go door to door for the GOP...just getting involved seems like it'd be the big, first step.

I wish you well.
