It's hard to explain to people that sometimes hard being so called happy isn't easiest thing to do. 
I wake up, my partner is gone to work. I'm alone, tried walking it doesn't work anymore. 
Home alone for hours, watching tv, phone just not enough. 
My minds starts to wonder which is not a positive way. 
Sometimes I wonder how long can that living like this.

Is there any hobbies you would like to try? Books you'd like to read? Have you tried meditations or exercise? Do you enjoy cooking?

It sounds like you need a friend to talk to or a creative hobby to sink your passion into.

I enjoy drawing it’s just hard to focus. I do have meds but I skip them. Sometimes I feel I can do it on my own.

Hi Shirayla! I started watching Jon Harris videos on Line Illusion on Youtube. It's really relaxing to draw and create once you learn the pattern. It's very zen and relaxing! Give it a go. Hope you like it let me know!

After the home quarantine....I came up with a bunch of different routines/hobbies...but now after almost 2 months of it...I am also sick of them lol.

I need some more stimulation. Sometimes...I find that reading up about yourself...can be fun...what I mean is...maybe astrology, life path numbers, personality tests, quizzes on likes dislikes? It helps you to start thinking about yourself and your qualities...and brings some good focus on what you want and like.

Sending you light and love!

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
