Can't work anymore.
Don't have a car anymore because of no job.
Living almost in poverty, it's very tough.
I.....must still be here for a reason, I have to find my purpose, everything has changed but it's just a new direction...right?

I was also very bored and i fell into dwelling depression my PT appointments and voluntering tasks helped me out of that.
Being around people and feeling useful is food for your spirit.
I have now 4 days a week a activity on my agenda sometimes i cant handle it so i call it the day because of the pain but i have a ritme and patern.It s also different to lay a hole middag in bed after a tasks feeling usefull tired and in pain then laying in bed after laying on the couch not tired only agitated true the pain.
I really want to invite you to surch for volunteer tasks . It diffecult to find someting that fits with the pain. I surched for 1,5 years.Keep on moving is a good way to fight that the pain not controle your hole being .I can t do nothing to the amouth of pain it stays, but i can try to built a furfilling life around or with the pain.
I assist teo hours people with brain damage with their creativity group ( really heroes some can t talk and move one hand and still are producing art work) And i call for a company edely people from my couch on theusday morning to provent lonelyness.You also can provide something for yourself a cartclub or a ceramic club swimming its the appointment what counts and breaks the day.

Succes with taking a initiative !
Break the circle of boringness.

It is a new direction but a very hard one your purpose is to live a furfilling life for your own good. It is a hard job with no work no money and no healthy body but there always some hope a sister or a good friendship / a volunteer task/ a dog/ or kat / your faith.

I wish you strenght to surch for meaningfull life and the silver lining behond the clouds

There is certainly a purpose for your life! Sometimes it's difficult to see clearly. Then one day there will be an issue that strikes a chord and makes you think. Maybe a cause will touch your heart. There is something out here to make you feel good with the place you are in this life. πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

I am not thinking of the meaning of bad luck for me that is a coincedent , but more how i get a furfilling life with my disability. Like today i am gonna do volunteer work fir 2 hours after that i feel worn out but usefull and can rest without quilt or dwelling.Otherwise the days in pain are to long and i loose my aditude to carry the burden or i feel useless.Volunteering is very intensive i lose almost all my energy i can only cook then afterworths so my homeworktasks stay. It is very diffecult to choose were you spill you energy because it is not much.
