I’ve been finding that going to day treatment really adds meaning to my life because it is structured, takes up a good deal of time, is quite fun and meaningful. Now I’m looking for more ways to add meaning to my life. Maybe start another reading marathon, take an art class as I’d really like to donate a painting to my support group. Downloading music gives me a sense of accomplishment. Staying away from cooking since I’m dieting. Found a seasonal job helping the department of taxation I can apply to. I go out everyday so in that sense I’m not doing nothing with my life. It is good to stay busy all day, anyhow, doing meaningful activities. Community classes, wellness and sports, leisure down time, all helps. Beats wasting life in front of the tv. What do you do to keep life meaningful? I encourage you to get creative. Life is what you put in. The more energy you spend on it, the more you get out.
i do beneficial activities like working and praying
but i also doing negative activities like watching porn , sleeping too much
what can i do ?
i cant stop negative activities but i do beneficial activities already
I’m about to start day treatment and I’m looking forward to it.
You don’t know how happy I am to hear that. Meeting other people with mental illness really helped me to make friends and set realistic goals for myself. It stopped my black and white thinking of “get rich/successful or suffer” and helped me focus on taking baby steps toward my wellbeing. Try your best to express your problems to the group and really take advantage of the services. Hope it will work for you and sends you on your way with more focused goals, wellness, and motivation.
Thank you. I’m meeting my primary doctor tomorrow and then I start the main therapy next week. I’m a bit nervous because I haven’t been doing much the last few months, but I know I need to do this and stick through it. Also they’ll be around the same age as me. Thanks for the kind words.
New year, new me, new goals. I won’t worry about that fancy job. I will work office jobs and substitute teaching this upcoming year and try to save $12,500. I already have $4000 in the bank. I will use that to pay for a coding program and become either a data analyst or front end developer. Won’t bother getting a loan from my parents. I don’t pay rent or food at home so I hope I can do it! That and loose weight. I don’t wanna let my life “go” I will accomplish!
I do things that are meaningful to me, like practicing piano, reading, doing yoga, meditating, praying, volunteering, social media, and visiting with friends.
