Hi... so yes, I'd like to know what you guys do aside from being bipolar 24/7. This topic comes from my recent decision to stop studying for the public administration in my area and finally ask for my disability recognition and some adapted job. I don't know how this is gonna end, but my last crisis really made me see things differently, even lose hope or become more realistic - depends how you wanna see it.


I have much time in my hands now and I don't know how better manage it. I don't study anymore, so I just buy groceries or learn how to cook at the present moment. Are you guys good making friends? I am not. I do take care of my children when they are with me (my wife divorced me some 5 years ago) and I'm planning some holidays for them near the beach. My mother will accompany us, both to enjoy the fun with her grandchildren and to keep an eye their dad.


I practice taichi and would like to start hiking when I land a stable job again, fingers crossed...


On a different note, cultivating some spirituality has been good. I remember meeting an OCD diagnosed guy whose phobias only dissipated while praying or listening to the Pope...I guess certain things can turn off your problems for a while and make you tune into something that you deem more meaningful. Do you also experience it this way? I'm not a big fan of main religions myself, but little things like holding a crystal stone or setting the mood for sleep at night with the right essential oil proves helpful in managing stress at the end of the day.

Nothing more. I'm still trying to figure out what works best for me and earn a place of existence in this turning world. Maybe you have managed to keep all in order at this point of life - is that your case?

Greetings from Spain. May this message reach you well and happy. See ya.
