All hobbies with exception to gaming. Anything that requires a lot of set up and thinking before doing the actual hobby makes me just say 'forget it' most of the time. Luckily games are just a push of a button and mouse click away. Although, I have been too depressed to even do that.

I miss being able to read a good book. I have lost the ability to sustain focus long enough to get engaged with the plot of a novel. I have read 1000's of books over the course of my life, and I thought it was the medication that was making it difficult, but I've been off meds for 9 months, and I still have trouble with it.

All of this. Also my self esteem and confidence. I am so afraid of trying to work again once my meds are all straight because new jobs are stressful and stress is a huge trigger for me. I'm not even sure what kind of job I can do anymore.

Me too! I can only focus on simple comedy books and non-fiction. The things I used to read i can't focus on anymore. Totally sucks

I miss a lot of things... I miss being able to work more than 20 hours a week without breaking down. I miss having friends to go out and do things with. I miss not having to lie to my family about being ok. I miss having the energy and motivation to clean my entire apartment in one go. I miss being able to function on less than 10 hours of sleep. I miss finding joy in hobbies like reading or drawing. But most of all... I miss feeling like I'm capable of taking care of myself. I just don't think I can anymore.

I miss my joyful mood. I used to find joy in such small things. Now everything just feels heavy, like I'm carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders.

I miss my old weight and my old pretty self. I miss my old job and the comfort having it, the freedoms and the fact that I did it well. I miss having a life and being out there in the world.

But I think its important to put what I don't miss. I don't miss being an alcoholic depressed psychotic mess!

I think overall, the things I miss would be nice to have again, but the clarity I have gained through years of experience? I don't think I would trade it for anything in the world.
