What do you do for you?

[PurpleDaisy2114]

Just that really. I don't do anything for myself. I do no exercise and relax by watching tv, playing on my phone and drinking. I have no hobbies or interests. I love politics, love exploring new places and am passionate about fairness and justice- social history etc. I need to start doing stuff. What do you do? Am parent to a teenager and tween, both with additional needs

You do a lot for yourself; social and political awareness and a thirst for exploring are arguably a lot more important than being a gym bunny!

Maybe scale back on the drinking and spend that time increasing your knowledge and social circle by meeting with local people who share your views? (Even if that contact is online until the weather allows you to meet in person).

Thanks Sarah

What - "I have no hobbies or interests"? Clearly you do have interests. You mention politics, for instance.

Doing something is a great idea. What if you stopped drinking and playing on your phone, and if you can't go out much, maybe you can explore online to, first, find specialized forums for your interests, or, second, see if you can get involved with some volunteer group online. So much is online-only now anyway, due to covid.

Do you know about Belling Cat, which started with just one person at home, fooling around online?

Thank you
