Staying at home

I only get pretty bad depressed when I stay at home a couple days a week. My off days from work. If I stay at home and have nothing to do I just eat and cry all day esp. while my son is napping and it's really quiet in the house. My finances aren't good right now so I don't go driving around like I used too. Anyone have suggestions on keeping your mind busy and easy on the wallet? I go to the library but I would like to do something that involves physical activity. Or just any thing to get your mind off things.

Hi friend~
Well, it's definitely a lot easier to start feeling down when we have too much time on our hands. So, I can totally understand why you're trying to find some other activities you can get involved in. And, I wondered if you've ever considered a support group in your area? People you can meet with periodically and perhaps get in touch with when you're having those down days? I'm not sure if you have a counselor who might be able to make a recommendation of that nature? Just a thought. Also, I know there are groups like MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) that meet in most areas and give moms a chance to get out of the house with their kids and be around others in their shoes. They usually have a lot of activities to get involved in as well. So, that might be worth checking into. Well, I'll be praying that you'll find something that's a good fit for you. Hang in there!
