i've been on disability for a year, and i could use a little help.
i still struggle to do basic self care most days, so the little things i can do are important.
however, i despair of having anything to look forward to. i used to be a programmer, but i haven't even looked at code for months.
i have wanted to use machine tools, but i might not be able enough to work in a shop.
what are you all doing that that gets you going, that seems worthwhile?

@maloki i might be able to pick a day of the week to do something joyful. my energy levels fluctuate, so that is the biggest barrier.
sometimes i can't make myself do anything at all.
anyway thank you for sharing your work. it's sounds cool.
@confusedcharlot I've started getting into oil painting.. something I'm letting myself just DO without planning or having to be "good" it gets me away from the computer for a bit and feels really good

@confusedcharlot developing a tabletop game has been my passion of late. It has been very good for my mood, when my mood is not "i need to not use my brain or it will implode"
