I just had a talk with my aunt. So I had like one day while my aunts husband was visiting me in the mountains where I was kinda mopey. I legit stayed in bed most the day I was not feeling great emotionally. He told my aunt. And now my aunt has made it her mission to help me take of my mental health. I wasn't planning on moping all the time or anything but it's reassuring to me her doing this. She has brought a calender that I am to make a schedule on and I am to make an alarm on my phone to remind me to look at said schedule. She said on said schedule I'm to schedule outdoor time and hobbies. She told me that a group home isn't like living on your own. A group home basically tells you when to do everything it practically tells you when to breathe. She pointed out if i don't get into the habit of getting up get into a routine I'll likely spiral. She's right. I about did that a few days ago cuz i was being mopey. I been worried about my ability to be independent but I feel with her help I'll do well. I've decided imma do everything in my power to take care of my mental health and be independent. Right now I'm about to go to bed but I figured I'd post this here and ask if anyone got any ideas of hobbies I could schedule to try and experiment with or any advice for me since I've left the group home on becoming more independent. Preferably some inexpensive hobbies as I'm on a tight budget.
I'm thinking learning german, practicing and learning occult rituals, reading, going outside, training the cats, are all hobbies Imma try. Ill also be learning how to drive. But really having this much freedom to be and do things...I've never had this. It's kinda hard to sit and figure out what to do with it. It's difficult also for me to not want to sit doing nothing all day which likely would lead me to moping because that's typically what I'd do at the group home I was very restricted on doing things.
I especially have to get moving. Due to the meds I am on I recently had my labs drawn. Because my hemoglobin levels are higher than normal(but not too high to not donate) I'm going to have to donate blood as a form of therapeutic phlebotomy. This also means if I stay too stationary I'm at greater risk of blood clot should my levels get too high
Tldr: want advice on how to be more independent and ideas on hobbies. Particularly ones regarding movement as I'm apparently at greater risks for blood clots due to meds that I am on
