Finding Things to Do

As someone who’s who is disabled it is hard to find something to do every day. Depression is causing me to sleep and not do anything. I am disabled with bipolar disorder. Not working makes it easier to do the things I need to do to manage my disorder. This sounds easier than it is. You would think I could find something to do like learn to play guitar, learn to draw, and  write  a book. Easier said than done. I get grand ideas when I’m manic, and don’t feel like doing anything when I’m depressed. That’s probably why it is so long between posts here.

All my doctors tell me that I should exercise. I have started using a TENs unit and exercising regularly. This helps some but I don’t get the results mentally that they claim I should get. Maybe I don’t exercise enough to see the benefits. My physical therapist is concentrating on my lower back which is twisted and has a bad disk. This causes me to have sleep problems. lf you have a mental disorder you know, or should know, that good sleep habits are crucial.

So here I am thinking of something that will give me some sense of accomplishment.  And trying not to commit suicide. This blog is part of me getting a sense of accomplishment and I have started to learn to draw, and exercise some. I’m still struggling with all these things. But I’m getting better (baby steps). Please leave a  comment  and let me know how you’re doing with this.
