Yeah, I get discouraged too when I see that I might not have certain things in my budget. There are some free events to consider. Also, some virtual events you can attend online and still get some personal interaction. I do virtual therapy sessions and it’s no cost to me through my insurance. You can pack a lunch and enjoy a visit to a park. I try to be mindful of costs.

Still, sometimes you need more than just trying to make yourself feel better. Maybe, your doctor can discuss options. I started to feel much better with a diet focused on whole foods and high nutrition. Plus, daily exercise. A nutritionist really helped too. If I need meds, I’ll do that too.

I read a lot about gratefulness and the role it plays in our mental state. I purposely focus on it daily. You might find some videos about it on YT.
