Some of us have been diagnosed, been in and out of hospitals, recovered, relapsed, been on disability for years and tried going back to work part time. But now, what else is there to do? Besides going to group therapy, the doctors, being on meds, watching TV, reading, online…etc., what else is out there? I can’t see doing this same thing over and over every hour of every day for the rest of my life. I’m stumped. I look ahead to this new year, but I don’t see anything. I’m flat. Not suicidal, just flat. I know people say to find an interest, but I can’t seem to get interested in anything. I do for an hour, but then it passes. What’s next? What are others doing? I guess I just need some ideas and direction that may juggle my brain.
