I’m thinking about getting a benefit because I don’t know if I can work, because of my fear of thinking that everyone is against me, but I don’t know if I’ll get the benefit, The medicine doesn’t take away my paranoia, but I’m thinking about working anyway, what do you do in your free time?

I study and exercise mainly. I also spend a lot of time on my phone chatting to people.
Besides that I have this forum and doc appointments.
And an occasional holiday every now and then.

I manage my day to day life, I mow my dads office and my moms yard, I have day treatment, I visit family and talk to a few friends. I don’t do a whole lot honestly. I seem to stay occupied though. It’s a lot of laying around on the couch on my phone. My mom calls it research.

I watch a lot of youtube videos during the day - usually social documentarys and those claiming benefits.
Im a lazy sod actually - im never usually off the sofa. But im in bed by 6pm usually - when ive had enough, and put an audible book on for a couple of hours.

I’ve worked not much in my life, honestly.
Finished nothing but the school.
One year was the longest i worked in companys.
Little jobs like renew old furniture, empty and cleaning ships in a harbour, washing dishes in a restaurant lasted longer, if i felt not able to work, someone other did the job, or reversed.
Longest time i repaired electronics, i did that of my own, i worked in between for carpenters, throwing windows and doors in and out, i neglected my electronic job because of that and lost it.
Good thing was that i build my little “house” where i live in whilst the carpenter job.
It was a dream since i can think to build my own house.
Actually i felt that i can do no job, 3 years of harassment, less sleep, poisoned , I feel good when I’m in the garden, harvesting tobacco or tea, lying around on my mat on the lawn, making music, talking to the birds, more response there

I have my support staff for company during the day, I spend time with them. I go for little walks around the cemetery every morning around 6am. Visit my fav websites and listen to music, mainly yt dance music from the 90s. I tend to go to bed early. I have my 3/4 holidays a year to look forward too, but only been on one this year as next year going to have epic holidays which I’m now planning.

I mess around on the internet. My exercise has dropped way off, which isn’t necessarily bad. I wish I could do some swimming. I doubt if I’ll get on a boat any time soon, but if I fell off a boat I’d like to be able to swim to the shore.

I don’t have the luxury not to work. It would mean living hand to mouth, which I hate. So I’ve found a part-time job that isn’t too stressful. My other time is spent watching movies, browsing youtube, sometimes reading or going on walks. My favorite seasons for being outdoors are spring and autumn.
I used to have more hobbies, some techy, some artsy, but I’ve gradually grown bored. It’s a pity. I’m trying to at least not ditch books completely, as reading is good brain exercise.

I don’t work, I mostly just do my hobbies, sometimes the anxiety is bad though.

Me too, but my problem is anxiety and voices telling me bad things.
