One thing that stuck with me was when a friend said ‘you are not fun to hang around’
Not sure what is fun, I have fun by listening to music, doing my work, drinking, dancing and dressing up?
I think being in a long term relationship especially with a completely opposite person, made me a different person.
I wasn’t like this! Maybe the illness also had a bad effect?
Now I think twice before going somewhere, think everything through, cry, get depressed and just try to be very protective of my life. I also try to be like a very good person?! responsible?
Activities that produce feelings of enthusiasm, joy and happiness are “fun”. The two most common of examples of fun that I experience as an adult is joking with friends (laughter) and flirting.
Fun can mean different things for different people. I think fun is when you’re enjoying and absorbed in something so much that you don’t notice time passing. Hence ‘time flies when you’re having fun’. Some of the things I find fun are joking with mates, fishing, surfing, watching the footy, listening to music and dancing around the house when nobody’s home
Yeah, try to get out and do things that you enjoy and not think about your illness all the time. When you describe yourself, what should come to mind is your career, activities you enjoy and your friends and family, not your illness first. Accepting your illness is important, but should not dominate your identity. I know I sometimes struggle about spending way too much time thinking about my MI and not doing productive or fun things. Speaking of which, time for me to hit the gym and go to the sauna after!
Fun for me is visiting with my best friend at her house. Playing piano or keyboard for my best friend or for my family. Listening to my best friend play her guitar. Eating a meal with my family or friends. Playing with my best friend’s dog. Listening to music on Spotify. Reading. Playing around on my computer.
I listen to music and drink an occasional margarita for fun. I like to play my guitar and sing. I like to go picking with my friend Brian, he lends me a really nice banjo at his house. He’s a flat picker and we play bluegrass together. I don’t drink and drive but Brian has a drinking problem but he is an amiable drunk. fun to be around…his wife sings and plays guitar too. I love spending time with my family on holidays and birthdays. we just celebrated Mother’s day and my sister’s fiancee always smokes ribs, chicken and hot links…tons of casseroles…I also like to cook for fun. cajun is my specialty…jambalaya and gumbo to be exact. delicious food is fun too.!
Fun for me means that moment when you’re so into something time passes and then you’re like where did all the time go? I barely noticed time passing, I was having too much fun!
UFC fights are so fun for me. Watching live martial arts fights are a bucket of fun. Also, I love taking long walks while listening to music and hanging out with this one friend of mine.
Also, playing online competitive pool always engrosses me.
Anyway I think just the whining about everything is too much. Some people like me though, so plus it is better to stop talking about meds and symptoms.
Video games are fun even though I play less that I have in the past. Recently though I mostly watch videos on you tube. Lets plays and rp sessions. Sometimes political stuff but not since my recommended folder got flooded with rp stuff.
how did you jump to that conclusion?
