It’s obviously strange times for all with this health crisis but I’m starting to understand something. For practical effect my life hasn’t really changed. I don’t have to go to work. I just keep up what i was doing except for my volunteering…( no cricket so not much to do so after a holiday I am not needed ) and the biggest thing I miss is getting together with friends and family…we’ve had birthdays we’d usually get together for all a no dice.
So. I’m coming to the conclusion I spend far too much time online. Mornings usually aren’t too bad. I am still doing a heap of exercise and am now jogging around 20 minutes a day weather permitting. My afternoons I relax and watch youtube, forums etc. I’ve bought a lot of plastic kits that need building and painting so from tomorrow I’m going to dedicate my afternoon to doing them. It’s not bad catching up on the internet but I honestly think I need to do other things. Life is way too short for just watching cat videos on youtube…
It’s great that you are exercising and jogging, it’s a HUGE help for mental health. When it’s sunny or not raining, I always do like up to 20,000 steps a day. I live in a nice neighbourhood but before this virus crisis I spent so much time in the gym. I miss the gym a lot.
But I don’t have ANY family around me. Not sure if this is a good thing, sometimes I think it’s better I spend so much time alone. But there must be more to life.
I’m sorry about that @mermaid1. I’m still blessed to have my family with me, though I cannot keep any friends because of my personality issues. I hope you find comfort, being alone isnt that bad. Getting a cat and/or dog helps tremendously.
I don’t have the best parents but my dad passed away last year, I saw him before he passed away. I travel once a year to see my family. I have an amazing brother who laughs at my jokes and a sister who is lovely. We always FaceTime. It’s a BIG gift to have a caring family around you, esp battling an illness like schizophrenia.
I have a CAT. She’s my baby. I will adopt a dog once one day my sleep schedule is fixed somehow.
Keep busy. I’m not dissing this forum or anything but I’ve projects I need to do I’ve been putting off. It’s so much easier to sit in front of the computer and wind down. I really can be painting plastic minis which really is relaxing too. Well done on 20, 000 a day. I’m settling into 25, 000 but you can leave your residence here to exercise so I jog 20 minutes a day…gawd. I’m fitter near 50 than I was at 39.
Plan is to drop by mornings with a small window between exercise. I need to make more of my afternoons. Thanks matey. I won’t be totally gone in this weird world.
