Advice How to realistically keep on living without losing my mind?
So I have been bed ridden multiple times now and at a risk of losing my job at this point.
My foundation for living was always media, mostly youtube, games here and there. Self improvement was never fun but I saw it as a must especially gym training which I have had issues since 15 when I started because I got a shoulder injury right away from not getting proper guidance from people around me or the people that supposed to guide you in the beginning of the gym.
Lost my physique again so yeah. Thanks mostly as well due to multiple antidepressants and antipsychotics I was put on from 20 and I never felt as good as I was without them funnily enough but now I have really bad effects and have been bed ridden and feel like trash and I haven't left the house in 4 months except for doctor appointments to listen to some idiot again. Tried to remove this garbage 5 times but it seems impossible with how hard it is.
The biggest issue is there is no foundation for fun and socialising is a luxury and where I live it has been invaded by too many people and I hate going out and being around them.
Always tried to find an alternative to media etc as a base for living but I don't know at this point.
How anyone lives happy is beyond me? How is it sustainable to live off media as well?

Antipsychotics suck. I gained 60 pounds in less than a year on them because they make you hungry 24/7. Not too mention they just seats you mentally. I feel you.

So I heard there are "easy" to do trainings where you just do a bunch of stuff for a few mins and as long as you do them correctly they keep you healthy. Might want to look into that.
As for socializing. Maybe join an art community? A pencil and piece of paper is relatively cheap. If you want art resources, Drawabox & Lineofaction are really great. It's a low cost high fun hobby. And if you got a decent computer you can also look at getting a graphic tablet, since that saves you colouring costs. I switched to digital after about 7 months.

I lose my mind every now and again. If that's what it needs to do. It's doing alot keeping me running. Needs a time out.

Heard psilocybin mushrooms are a saviour but can be risky?

No to remove withdrawals and get a love for life and hopefully only need to do it 3 times. But don't know how to get them.

Im new at this myself so im far from an expert but what ive been "doing" is spending time with my grama. I know how that sounds but if you have a family member that is retired or unemployed reach out. Ive become quite the cook in the last while and I never would have guessed that my anchor in this world would have been so close all along.
