Those of you that are on disability, how do you fill your days? I'm starting to get restless. I'm looking for a DBT program, but they're hard to come by where I live. I feel like I should be doing something else with my time. I'm starting to get antsy.

Try taking up a couple of hobbies. I was painting and doing artwork, writing and reading a lot. And exercising, doing nature trails.

I do voulenteeriing with a foundation that resumes orphans.
I'm the kitten specialist. A long time ago I worked at a State mental hospital for the retardation. I developed programs to get outpatients. These people had spent their whole lives and n the institution. My friend takes care of a 97 yr old guy from her church. I took care of my grandparents at thier home because they wanted to die at home. Not in an old folks home.

I binge-watch the Law and Order shows and work on my writing. Sometimes I think about trying to find a job but can't think of anything I could handle mentally OR physically, which is why I don't volunteer either. I hope that will change one day, because I'm way too young to sit around waiting to die.

its horrible, especially when you don't have a car everyday. I'm learning guitar, movies, video games, reading. but it gets boring. Hopefully, soon I can get a full time job. I want to start voulantering at the animal shelter as I'm told is rewarding. I have a dbt therapist but only see her once a week and so far havent done ant dbt work. yee

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
