Good morning
What would you say a typical day is like for you?
Do you work? Go to college or university?
Or like me, do you stay home, all day every day, seemingly for the rest of your life?
Ok I'm depressing myself now.
Thanks to mental health and some physical health problems as well my life has become an endless circle of more less staying at home, usually in my room. I go out sometimes but not for long. My home is my safe space.
At home I'll usually listen to music, watch films and TV series, read, play with my toys, brush my hair and that's pretty much it.
Thinking about it I often wonder why I'm here. It's not really the sort of life I imagined for myself. I thought by now I might have a friend, husband, kids... I definitely thought I would be working by now.
But for now... For the foreseeable this is my future.
How's a typical day for you?
Weekdays, I wake up, eat breakfast while looking at the internet, go for a run, shower, put lunch on to cook. If there is work available on the online platform I work on, I do it. If not, I tidy up and do any other chores. Eat lunch. Go to the library to study maths (current special interest). Come home, eat some snacks. Most evenings I go to a dance class or other fun thing, but if nothing is happening I get into bed and read. Weekends are similar but on Saturdays I go to parkrun and then go swimming.
This all sounds good. Dance class sounds both fun and exhausting. When I was at school I was part of the dance class, me and my only friend were we did that together.
Have you done dance lessons online? There's some really fun and cool ones you can watch and try yourself.
I only really like partner dancing so I don't think that would work.
Oh right yeah that makes sense. Sorry I didn't realise.
