Basically, I am retired. My husband and I have sold books online for 11 years, but that requires a fairly minimal amount of time from me. Sometimes I miss work, but not much. After I stopped working I did get into volunteering; I am a Connection group facilitator for NAMI (pre-covid). I am by myself (with my cats) almost all of the time (my husband and I live separately). I almost always have things to occupy my time. Chores and self-care (such as exercising). And I read a lot. And have pdoc and therapy appointments.
I don't think my mental health was any different when I was working than it is now.
