mental illness and free time
I'm a mentally ill neet and I spent most of my free time either staring at walls without doing anything or asleep, and it's having a bad effect on me
what are some things (doesn't have to be productive or self-improvement related) I could do instead to pass the time?

what about reading? do you like reading?
it's kinda like staring at a wall, but more stimulating
you can get a cheap ereader or mass-market paperbacks, but try to avoid reading on a monitor

ereader is good since you can find PDFs of pretty much anything online, for free

Go outside and take a walk?

that too
it can be fun to look for interesting places to walk on google maps or wahtever, and then going there
just be careful if you do that alone, don't go anywhere too dangerous

I used to when I was a kid
I haven't done it successfully in a while, I'd either forget everything I read very quickly or I'd get distracted and give up less than 10 pages in
I could give it another try though and see how it goes

it's funny, i was the same for awhile, and often still am
i'll read like 5 pages every few days, but then suddenly go through a whole book in 3 days
i guess it helps to find things you enjoy, there's so much shit
old scifi, history, textbooks, manga, whatever
i've been going through the sprawl trilogy, it's pretty good
snow crash also
