What do you do every day if you don't work?

I spend every day at home, doing the same stuff, over and over. I like it from the routine point of view as any break to my routine causes me shut/meltdown but it's samey and I've watched all my movies, read all my books and played all my video games, though games I enjoy doing over and over. I used to spend a lot of time writing but had a mental health breakdown in 2020 and I lost my creative thinking during that period, and it hasn't come back yet.

I feel I'm in a rut and I don't know what to do about it. I was going out to the library every Friday but the library is now closed permanently, I live in a small rural village, what my mum calls an old fashioned English village and the library was only small and too "expensive" to keep, sadly for me. I struggle with mobility but now the weather is picking up I've been making an effort to go in the garden, at least then I'm out and enjoying the fresh air and any wildlife that exists in the garden.

My family are supportive but they don't understand autism and I'm under a lot of pressure to get a job. My dad thinks it will cure me.

What do you do each day? Sorry rant over.

Looking for things to fill my time.

  • I read a lot, I have a kindle unlimited subscription which is £9.49 a month and allows me to borrow a huge range of books. When I run out of games to play I check what's available on the Xbox game pass subscription, which offers a lot of games for £14.99 a month.

  • I love my kindle subscription too, for me it's a life saver, I've found so many new authors. Do you have a mobile library that comes by?

    I don't play games so I can't help there. 

    I have a dog who I sometimes refer to as my physiotherapy helper, as she needs to walk everday and so do I she makes me get up and go out, luckily she dosen't like rain and wind so we don't go out when it's blowing a hooley. I also garden when the neighbours aren't being too noisy.

    If having a job cures autism and all sort of other conditions and illness, I wonder why there are so many sick people in employment?
