My therapist wants me to engage in more hobbies or activities but I’m experiencing a lack of interest in much of anything. I just bought wild bird seed and suet and I’m excited for the birds to come, but it could take a few weeks for them to notice it. My partner and I bought a Wii but on days like today I just have no interest or energy to so anything. I’m unable to work so I have a lot of free time.

I took up running this year and it has become a good healthy outlet for me.

Thank you! My therapist is a schizophrenia specialist and she discovered this group for me! I unfortunately can’t go exercising by myself because sometimes when i get too hot it can trigger seizures. I do want to start exercising again though!

Maybe art? Drawing is fun to learn and cheap

I like reading classical books on my tablet, anything older than 1923 is in the public domain and free of charge.

I’m struggling with this too. I’m having a hard time finding pleasure in things. It’s frustrating.
My previous hobbies have been playing piano, singing, coloring in coloring books for adults, paint by number, latch hook, hiking, reading, movies, ballet, opera, live entertainment, and spending time with family and friends

I decided to start walking more a few months ago. It’s good to get out but it is hot. It’ll cool off for the year soon. We are having freak weather. I feel best after a long walk and my muscles are pumped up and I go up the stairs easily.

My Hobbies including shopping at a thrift store with my mom we went today to go to the thrift store but didn’t make it due to me having difficulties breathing so we just came back home won’t be going anywhere until I am better my mom needs me with her, she also has health issues breathing issues and lung and heart issues plus being diabetic on top of that and kidney failure so I enjoy what time I have with her she is living on borrowed time I know it too and she does as well but I could pass before her considering the issues I have been having as well you just never know I also like to go for joyrides in my car listening to music playing with my two dogs and going to the gym when I am not sick haven’t been going much lately because of me being sick with this sinus infection it makes it hard to go and exercise because it takes every breath and energy I have which isnt much I have to work back up to it.
