If you were not online on Sanctioned Suicide right now, what would you do instead?

There are different things: Chatting with friends, reading political articles online, playing video games

I would lack honest exchanges though. I cannot vent about my misery to my friends all the time. Many of them don't know how it feels.

If I spent my time online I would be mostly likely on Youtube instead. Or on newspaper pages.

I would be playing video games. I would add things, but this is the recovery Thread, so keeping it clean.

Well im preparing for exam so i guess that,and reading fantasy.Im currently A Clash of Kings and it's a fun book,it also takes me off thoughts so that's nice,i found dark fantasy books(like the second apocalypse for example or broken empire) more comforting than heroic fantasy for some reason

Watching TV, eating, sleeping. That's most days.

I have been sorting thru and cleaning up my late husband's "hobby." Since some of his "toys" were gov't controlled, I am having to do some re-registering before I can sell those things. But I get a little overwhelmed at just how much stuff he had acquired in 26 years. Goodness ...

Now that he is gone and I have my life back, I have spent a lot more time with my son. And have been reading. A "habit" I somehow lost interest in -- depression will steal everything from you if you let it. In fact, I'm not even sure "let it" is an accurate description. Because I TRIED to pick up reading a couple of years ago, but it just didn't "stick". I was, quite literally, just not interested in ANYTHING.

That seems to be resolving, though, and each day seems a bit better than the day before. I caught myself singing with a song on the radio on my way to an appointment a couple of days ago. I cannot TELL you HOW many years it has been since I "jammed" while driving down the road.

And that used to be my favorite thing to do -- fill up the car, grab a BigGulp, and get in the car and drive -- no destination, just the radio and me and the road. Stop for the night, grab some dinner and watch tv at the hotel until I fell asleep. Next morning, shower, check out, grab some breakfast at McDonald's (only time I eat out is on one of my road trips) and head back home. It has been a long, LONG time since I've done that -- my youngest child turned 39 this year so it's been at least that long.

I'm looking forward to taking a few more drives between now and this winter when the weather is a bit more uncooperative ...

You tube? Working, discord or cleaning.
